Before we go any further, I want to make it clear that she is NOT aggressive toward people, only other goats. She is also not my goat. A few years ago, I sold a doeling (Sonja) to a friend of mine as one of her first goats. She was one of those doelings that is just born to be queen, from the...

I just got done taking a shower. Here's why! I was peacefully milking my Artemis (FF Nubian doe). My bucket had about a quarter of a quart in it. Suddenly, she kicks, and the milk bucket goes flying-on top of my head. Have you ever felt warm goat's milk drip down your face and shirt? Not...

Sometimes she spat it out, others she kept chewing. She is very distressed and keeps calling for her mom. What on...
