    Kyle, Texas, Pet Goats Must Go

    My 9 y.o. daughter and I have had our 2 girls for a year now.

    Sounds Like a Pig

    Barbie, my 6 month old Spanish-Boer (was a bottle baby) sounds like a pig when she breaths. (I can think of no other way to describe it:P except maybe if you were pretending to snore) She eats, sleeps, plays, poops, etc. normally, but her breathing just doesn't sound normal. It certainly is...

    My uncle gave me a boer/spanish mixed doe who was rejected by her mom at birth (she had twins). She is 6 weeks old now and has been bottle fed. She seems to be thriving but I'm worried about her being lonely. Most of the time she stays in her pen. We do let her out when we're in the yard...
