Getting Goat kids

Here's some information.

Most dehorning does need to occur when the kids are less than a week. You can dehorn adults, but it generally has to be done by a vet. We have used castration bands with success, but it doesn't always work the first time, and you can end up with scurs.

Great reply..Thanks..

Okay I have another question.. ...How high do I actually need my fences before Fancy can't get out of the yard we built them? Now she can jump 5 feet and get up top of the run to come and find me..

Wow clear 5 sight hounds can do that Greyhounds or whippets not even break a sweat ..
I handled a few whippets showing actually covered the dog run with poultry netting black as they would not try it

I was standing there because she lost sight of me and came running over the top maahhing me to death! She definitely cries about me and can't be content without me! In her secured pen she bawls if I go outside for a minute. When loose she stays right beside me. Goodness I'm her Mama..

That's why we run a strand of electric. I've had goats jump 5-6 foot fences, and climb over higher. If they can't go over they will try under. Goats can be hard to confine if they want out.

Do you feed them grain or treats? That makes mine look for me. When just getting hay or pasture they mostly ignore me.
