gee what a brat...what breed is May? We have had wind here the last 2 days....today it seems like 30 mph all the time. Hang in there hopefully the weather will start improving!

@Hens and Roos She is an Alpine.... I am just not sure Alpine are for me. Obviously Olive will never go anywhere unless she really messes up or changes. We can handle her sass and all but May.... May is just.... UGH!

May would be in the freezer at my house, lol. I love my mini alpines, they are so not like that!

I hope things go better for you soonhopefully spring will bring positive things your way. It's been a rough winter.

Thanks. And I don't know why we have so many issues with her. She was middle ranked with her former VERY large herd so maybe that was it. I don't know...

Is she trying to be herd queen?

Is she trying to be herd queen?

She took the position shortly after being introduced. Olive is bottom of the totem pole. The only issues we have are when we bring in new goats who are smaller. Our youngest Buck Rebel for instance. She has it out for him as he is submissive to her and smaller by a hair. May isn't usually a bully but when she is in heat, she is BRUTAL.

My Nigie doe beats on everyone like that. She was the herd queen's daughter in her old herd, and my herd queen didn't like her very much. I sold my herd queen so now Lilly is being nasty.

Goats are weird!

Yep! That was how my wether was! UGH.

I had a wether like that too. He was a bully to everybody during feeding time, but one doe he beat on out of the blue all day long. Sent him back to where he came from! As in the farm he came from, lol

 

[samssimonsays]

LOL! Mine did that too! He was a real jerk.... But I used other words for him. Often.
