Chillin' with the herd
I pen breed my 3 does for 45 days, give or take a few of them. Since removing the buck about 30 days ago my once docile, lowest on the goat pole has turned into a royal pain in the others behinds. The other two does were purchased together and one has always been the head of the small herd so why now has the dynamics changed?
One doe refused to go in to the goat hut and it is brutally frigid here. I put a spare doghouse in their pen with hay and wood chips in it and that's where she slept last night. I hate to lock all 3 up together. There is no room in the barn as I have a momma and 2 babies in there and momma does not take to anything new or different.
This doe was not close to any of the others and has always been a loner since I got her. Could this be hormonal and do you think the dynamics will change later?
