Well, I'm going to be the proud mama of a baby goat in about 6 or 8 weeks, when it is weaned from it's mama.
What happened is, friends have a registered Pygmy goat doe, and a larger dairy goat mated with her. Poor doe had twins. The first one didn't make it. The second one is a little boy.
So he's a real cutie--tan and white with long floppy ears, and black stockings. We've decided to buy the little guy because we have six acres of woods that surround our property, and the little fellow can help us with brush control.
So I'm nervous, since I've never owned a goat. What advice can you all give me to prepare for the baby? It will be wethered, and dis-budded.
Any advice would be soooo much appreciated,
Sharon
