So I tattooed my goats last night, I rolled on the ink, did the actual tattooing, then rolled on more ink. Today there are no marks at all. What did I do wrong? One of them was a tail web, so there wasn't any hair, and the one that had her ears tattooed, I shaved her ears, so her hair wasn't a...

This is my Minuet. How would you describe her color and markings officially? The black spots on her back are frosted on the edges. [/img] Here are two pictures of my Tazzie, she is darker than cream, but lighter than caramel. She has white patches. What would you call her coloring?

I'd like to let my ram lamb graze with my 2 ewes this summer, but I don't want them bred until late fall. He's a bottle baby, so he's inside at this point, and I know it will be a few months before he'll be mature enough to breed anyway, but at that point I'd like to not have to separate him...

I have two ewe lambs that I would like to breed next fall. I don't have the space, or the desire for keeping a ram. From what I have heard, it often takes more than one 'try' for a ewe to actually 'take' so breeding out of hand isn't the best option. Neither, it seems is sending my girls to...
