. She could be a great goat...never know. They all need a home. See how she milks when she kids. May or may not throw kids with same issue.
Yea we’re giving her the chance to kid, my sister wants to see her money come back into her account immediately, the only way she sees that happening is if she sells mom. I don’t think she understands that when you are starting with an animal you ma have to invest pretty heavily the first year or two before making a profit. I got lucky and got three free does and a buck traded for 7 hens, PLUS Josephine got bred the first week I had the goats, olive was bred soon after (what can I say, Enzo does his job well!)
No, she doesn’t understand a lot about goats, I’m having to coach her through everything. I studied everything that had to do with ruminants for 3 YEARS before even looking for goats for sale, she jumped right in with no knowledge at all but I don’t mind teaching her if she’s a willing learner. Here’s the new Lamanchas hooves before trimming, this time I took @Ridgetop advice and cut straight across the tips as well as trimming the side walls. I’ll get some pics of after trimming when I canDoes sister realize baby will need bottle fed if mom sells? And price for supplements are expensive plus kids don't do as well? Maybe she'll have bucklings...she can sell those as bottle babes.
He got caught in a space so small I didn't think it was possible, he was upside down pressed up against the motor that turns the eggs (a small peg that attaches to the egg turner when its installed, I took the turner out while he was hatching) when the timer went off and the motor turned on, the peg bruised his neck and head because it was trying to turn but his head was in the way
Im honestly so upset right now, i can't help but feel like I could have done something differently. I will definitely cover the spaces up next time so the next goslings to hatch will not suffer the same horrible end.
