I've heard the same thing Hens... somewhat close to that of an elephant it seems. But NOT sure if that's primarily mom remembering offspring & vice versa, or just goats in general.
I will! hopefully once the puppies all head to homes, we will bring her home. The temps will be a little warmer for them to be reintroduced out in the pen that way.
For bio security purposes, do you intend to incarcerate/isolate the newcomers for a/some number of weeks to ensure no bad stuff comes in? Just curious... I'm sure you're really excited at the prospects! New animals! YAY!
That is a good question, I actually planned on it but I am not sure it is needed? She was purchased by a good friend who bought Ollie's sister as well. She has not been exposed to anything different from what mine have been so would I need to keep them apart for the recommended time still or just until they are introduced to each other and ok? We will be putting up a stall but she will be in the same barn, directly across from them?
Ummm I must check to those with more knowledge/experience... I have no idea... was just throwing it out there... In this day and age, you just never know...
Sweet Jeffrey is off to his new home in Charleston, SC today. He broke my heart quite honestly..... sigh. He will be so loved and in such a great home though so that makes it so much easier.
