Oh... I was trying to find some pics... I looked through about 300 and thought wellllllllllllllll I have thousands of pics and they are not organized. If I come across one I'll post it.

Thanks so much I'm new to goats just going on 2 yrs since i got my first one so still learning a lot. Who knew they were a gateway animal... since my first i now have 7 goats 15 chickens and 2 Sebastopol geese.

So after adding the minerals and supplemented food to their diet and dusting them the hairloss seems to have stopped. I am thinking maybe she was itching and rubbing her hair off.. I am going to worm them all this weekend. I have checked everyones eyelids and they are all really pink and healthy looking. I am now thinking it was a mineral deficiency and possibly lice..... I haven't noticed the other goats rubbing either since I dusted them.... such a learning curve
