    Hey! I was wondering about your opinions about the stress a doe gets when she's kept with a buck. If we got a doe and a buck, we'd put an apron on him to block breeding, but if he mounted, he'd still stress her out.. I'm just wondering how severe this stress would be, If the doe had horns, and...

    Hey, Anyone have any tips on keeping goats safe? Just read a thread about someone catching this person trying to steal an animal. That reality hit hard.
