So thanks to everyone's help on my previous thread about 4-H questions and how to get started, I'm joining a club and am going to raise a goat (not a lamb) to show.
Exciting
Does anyone know (if I purchase a weaned baby) the requirements of showing goats? I want to get a bottle baby so I get the wonderful challenging experience that comes with it.
Do judges disqualify debudded goats? or wethers? Male, female, or wether? What breed is best to get for a beginner? I'm thinking a Nigerian Dwarf but I'm just not sure. (They are so darn cute!!)
&& Any other advice on raising and keeping goats.
Space requirement
Feed
Grooming
Training
Etc.
Thanks!
