Lol, Marie
MTchick, I would name it Jesus, cause thats what I was aiming for, but, its a girl!! I had decided to call it Mary OR Miracle, byt the first choice out of my mouth was Mary!
I personally don't think goats are hard to raise either, I have never had to trim hooves or anything yet, I have pieces of concrete in there for them to jump on and that must be working pretty well. I have only had two sick, and I have had them for about 4 years now.The one time I got the momma better, this last time, I did not suceed, even with the help of a vet. Even the vet wasn't sure what was the matter with her, he prescribed me to worm her, gave me Pen-G to give her, increase her feed to Equine senior, she was REALLY thin. She also had sores on her teats and lost both kids. Vet thought she might had mastitis, which is why he gave me the Pen -G. We still ended up losing her. All the rest of the 4 years we havent had any problems with the goats. I have more problems with sick chickens than goats! LOL.
