Loving the herd life
Just went out to feed the goats and retrieve feed bowls from their shelter as fed them yesterday in there because of rain, and I got a yellow jacket sting while getting the bowls out of the shelter. I noticed that our young buckling, Waldo, was scratching places on his leg and Ginger, a doe, was holding her leg up and doing lots of tongue movements in her mouth. I'm pretty sure they were stung too, and worried about anaphylatic reactions. Does that kind of thing happen with goats, like it does with humans? Ginger wouldn't come out of the shelter as I think it scared her, but I didn't see the wasps any longer. Looked around and couldn't find a nest anywhere. It's almost like they were mirauding wasps. If I hadn't gotten stung I wouldn't know what was happening with them, or notice why they were acting funny. Any thing I should worry about?
