    Me. I have a horned buck and a horned doling who will be a FF in a couple weeks. I also have a disbudded doe who is a full-sized. (the other 2 are 1/2 dwarf) I have NO problem with them at all. In fact it helps them hold their own against our big goat. I did worry at first that it would be...

    Im also gonna take pics in about a month to see if there is a difference in how she looks, since she's probably only a month pregnant if at all, and maybe thats just how this little doling looks. Also watching her to come in heat.
