Tips for beginner goat owners?

[Chickkidz]

some good care tips is to always be checking their legs, teeth, and eyes.
Legs to make sure their isn't any swelling or the goat isn't limping.
Teeth to make sure the goat doesn't have malocclusion which is when the teeth are uneven or even broken.
Eyes to make sure the goat didn't injure and possibly blind it's self.

I hope this was helpful!

So I seperated the does (one month olds) from our buck (3months old). They share a fence. However our buck doesn't seem very happy about this. Tonight the girls some how found a tiny hole in the fence and got through I fixed the hole. However they were all extremely happy to be enclosed together again. I understand bucks can breed at three months and does also at three months. (I have Nubians). Will it make him aggressive or hard to handle. I can get him a buddy (another buck) but we really can't afford it in some ways. But we could do it. Or lettig him with the girls for supervised visit be enough till they are of age?

I personally haven't had any bucks breed before 5 months. Goat does usually start coming in heat about August to December. I think you are okay for a few months, before true separation is needed.
