Please Help!! Weanlings not eating feed

[()relics]

did you say you noticed after you had taken them to be weighed and ear tagged? Strange how the people doing the weighing missed the fact that one of the "wethers" that they were weighing was a girl...or did I miss something?

They did not weigh them, just tag their ears. They really didn't look at them too close when they did that either. I think they just wrote down color and then tagged them. I'm going to call the county extension agent tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. The actual wether is the one that my son has chosen to show as his market goat, then both of my little girls (5 & 6 yrs old) with show one each in the open (pee wee) class (which, by what I gather as long as it's not a buck, they can show anything).

I have to confess, I bought 4 does from a someone this year. The entire herd was wild and I took about 2 hours picking out the 4 I wanted and trying to catch them. About 3 days after I got them home, I noticed one was a wether.

That sucked- I paid doe prices for a wether. It would have been worse except he begged me to take two bottle babies off his hands and gave them to me for free just to get rid of them. I sold both the bottle baby boy and the wether for market prices but the bottle baby doe is growing up real nice.

Almost worth it.
