Whatever i read sometimes on the Internet!
On "pikabu" (entertainment gossip resource) today:

An animal shelter near of Sumshina (any town).
A car pulls up, a lady gets out and says:
- There was a husky running along the road. Probably, the owners abandoned her, a little sad and therefore a little aggressive. But still, it's a pity. For a long time I chased the poor dog across the field. Barely caught. Take her with you, please.
The vet opens the car and see there a big WOLF (not dog).
This woman, with bare hands, in field. Caught and put an adult wolf in the car!!! Because he seemed a little sad to her!!!

I was forced to change my policy in the barn. I am doing something wrong. The fact is that the herd liv hues together, the room is not cramped, but they often crowd. The elders walk, absolutely not looking under their feet, lie where they want, and this led to the fact that one adult goat accidentally lay down on a very small goat and strangled him (!). At one time I tried to make places where kids could hide and sleep safely, but they often come out and go to bed anywhere where adults can accidentally step on them. I thought about it and decided to take the kids and grow them on my own to a size where their presence in the barn would not be dangerous.
It's hard to say if it would be worth giving the pregnant goats separate rooms, but it would add a lot of feeding and maintenance work. In general, I decided to keep the little kids separately in another paddock, and feed them there, using special feeders and buckets with nipples.
In the meantime... While I don't have this pen, I just took the new kids to my bedroom. It's warm there, and it's convenient for me to feed them there.
But I can't teach them to suck from a nipple, and I have them drink from a regular glass, which I hold so that the milk does not flow too quickly and they do not choke. As I understand it, calves cannot do this if they swallow a lot - there is a risk of dangerous problems with a young stomach, but goats do not seem to have this, they drink and do not get sick. The photo is a little old, now they have grown up.
Their mother is quite alive, but I go to milk her. This added work, but I don't have any other ideas yet.

I'm psure you know what's best in your situation. How many kids goats did you have so far this year? It's still early

I hope this woman never runs across a sad looking grisly bear.

We have two that are 12 years old. We did socialize them as young dogs and they never turned into ankle biters. We also din't allow them to be mean. They were allowed to be watch dogs and they were also allowed to have their space, but we never allowed them to be mean, there were too many children in our lives during that time. There were two boys that misused the male when he was six months old and he never forgot them. He has hated them ever since. Three years later, the abuser boys tried to become "friends" with him, but he would have none of it, we did not try to make the dog like them. It was a good lesson to the boys to treat all animals kindly.
