I will be getting two Nubian milk goats in April. I was thinking of putting them in the field with my mother-in-law's sheep. This sheep has a continuously runny nose though. I'm wondering if that could be passed to the baby goats. My mother-in-law is working to clear up the sheep's cold but it's just hanging on.

Yes, it could be passed to the goats, and depending what it is, could be deadly to the baby goats since they will be stressed from the move to begin with.

Also if she has a fan it could try to breed the goats as well.

Fan? What's the fan for? I really don't get it. Does that have a connection about the sheep?

My phone likes to change all my words.
I was saying if you put you goats in with sheep and there a ram. The ram would mate the female goats and make offspring that doesn't normal survive also makes you unable to breed them to a buck of your choosing.
