Ok and finally got decent pictures of buck. big and handsome I love his hoofs my doe daisy hoofs are the worst but I love his big and easy to see anything able normalnand trim he also mostly sweet unless he feeling his oats which he was today it took five times of pinning him for him to get it that he isn't as big or as bad as the 160 pound female lol dont tell him that he out weighs me lol.
The kids had fun they normal are not in there with me. . Josiah liked petting daisy and Lilly lol as soon as I took the picture the food was gone he tired to eat some lol. The other two are learning not to chase every animal lucy loves to hold everything so far the kids (goat) aren't big fans of it but they are warming up.
Ok does anyone less suffer from a pregnant doe refusing to jump on milking stand ??? Lilly getting close to giving birth and refuses to jump one the milksstan by beIN close I guess a week to a few days yesterday she jumped up fine today I had to pick her up and oh my goodness is she heavy!!lol I put her o the stand for grain and to check her over from hoofs to ect. I can no believe she would not jump the brat lol her ligaments are still the she starting to get really loose like daisy did and she had goo but only clear and nothing to say she Poppin today
I don't know from experience but would guess she must be getting close to delivery and doesn't like being up off the "ground" right now. I mean really... is there some terribly important reason that she absolutely needed to be up there right now? Couldn't it wait a few days or more till she's delivered? I wouldn't want to be carrying a pregnant goat around... Not good for me and prob not good for her and the kid(s) either...
As she gets closer to delivery and ligaments start loosening she bacially becomes more unstable. The ligaments that you feel for delivery indication aren't the only ligaments that loosen. She may feel that she's physically not able to make that jump right now - or she may just be a brat!
Mostly because she won let m look at her hoofs other wise and I needed to check to make sure she dIdn have the same issue as her sister .if I tie them anywhere but the milk stand they freak out but she mostly was hall way on she just would finish getting her back feet up there
