We have a pair of Boer goats given to us by some friends yesterday. We planned on getting some goats eventually, but this came up out of the blue.
Baby Girl, little girl of course, is 14 months old and blind. You would never know it, though. She's tiny, about the size of a larger Nigerian Dwarf or Pygmy. Buddy, the mail, is 18 months old and just a little larger.
Can someone please give me a crash course in caring for them?
They have a nice stall in our barn for nights. We are building a couple of lean-to's in the pasture for them and will be getting some climbing things for them.
Do goats get regular vaccinations like dogs and cats? Worming, etc?
What's the best feed for them? What snacks do they like?
Are they too old to be de-horned??
Anymore information would be greatly appreciated!
Here's a photo from this morning.
Thanks!
