Goat Mania
Chillin' with the herd
Hi everyone,
I tried using search and couldnt find answers to these so im posting them here:
1) I have a pregnant Saanen/ Alpine doe who has suddenly become weak, her coat has become coarse and eyes puffy and anemic. Ive lost a doe previously due to this as well. Any suggestions on a cure and why this happens?
2) One of my boer bucks is completely healthy but he lacks in fertility (doesnt go into rut much). He is about 14 months old. Plus one of his legs is shorter than the other one. Is this due to inbreeding and will he throw this to his kids?
3) I have 2 boer bucklings almost 2 months old. Both their testicles have descended but the scrotal sac isnt full. Its like half way filling the sac. At what age do the testicles descend fully and cover the sac?
Thanks in advance!
