I have 2 does abd 2 wethers. One of my does appears as tho she is pregnant.
Her udders have gotten huge, her backside is swollen.
she is tormenting the other doe, making male noises , chasing her around , and mounting her.
?? I have had goats for 20 yrs now and have never seen this.
Perhaps I need to call the vet??
 
Pictures would help. It sounds like a hormonal imbalance of some sort, but I haven't seen anything like this either.
 
We have a doe that when she is very pregnant she gets very territorial and mounts and makes male noises before having her kids. Is there any chance she is pregnant?

I also read an article in a book once that if there are no bucks around when a doe is in heat it can cause her or her friends to act like a buck. The weathers normally wont do it because they no longer have breeding hormones.
