Chillin' with the herd
I purchased two bucks last weekend, and had the vet out today to assess them. Nigerian Dwarf, 10 months old and weigh 30 pounds. Their heart girth is 20". The woman I bought them from never wormed them and says that they got into bad hay back in August, causing the whole herd to bloat really bad. She said it was about a month before they realized what was going on. The vet says they are stunted, won't be full size and I shouldn't use them to breed. I am new to this and need opinions from everyone who has one. They are not returnable and the woman says that with good hay and grain, that they should grow normal. That they won't be full size until 2 years anyway. We want to have milk for our family and sell the kids to pay for farm costs. Please help!!!
