Goat Thread!

[JustBabyMargo]

She's a little goat when not preggers! My smallest goat weighed 93 last I weighed her. My biggest weighs a whopping 127. Nigies are soooo little and cute! I would get some if I had the room.

Yes, she really is! She was a teeny triplet and was about the size of a small newborn when she was 2 weeks old. I have one small one and one that is almost too big to be considered a Nigerian Dwarf!

Any babies yet?

No babies! It wouldn’t surprise me if she went past her due date.

I gotta trim hooves again. It's so hard for us. Hubby holds them. I trim. We've tried on a grooming stand, but my girls are pretty unruly.

Do y'all have any suggestions? We DREAD having to do it.

OH! we might be getting a new doeling soon!

I'm jealous on both accounts!

I may try the hooves myself. I think maybe if I can halter them and tie them to the fence. My girls are pretty big, but I *might* try it tomorrow, if I'm feeling brave. Weezy's hooves look far too long for my liking.

My sister does their feet by herself by putting them in the milking stand with some food.

Tried that. Doesn't work for me. I think my goats are too wild.
