[Freightman]

In the last 24 hours we have 13 new goats. I don't have to o anything but feed the nes who do the work. I am too crippled up but I can cook. My granddaughter and her mother have their hands full so I cook and keep my son and grandson in law fed. Not the end as their is 27 more pregnant ewes still to deliver.

Goats= Bucks and Does. Takes a couple weeks and those younguns run about 90 mph. They still do a lot of yellin and attracting attention. And get into all kinds of mess. Cold weather keeps the bugs at bay. Cold also keeps the undergrowth down and makes keeping an eye on them easier. Momma does are under stress and warrant supplemental feed and attention to condition.

Aw, baby goats are the best. A guy I know raises show goats, and the little ones are really fun. Full grown bucks...not so much sometimes, Thunderheart kept trying to take a piece off of me!

I know how you feel. We have around thirty that are ready to pop.

Friend has some goats. One is like a dog and will follow you all over the place wanting ear scratches and belly rubs. He occasionally mock fights but never hard head butts, he just touches you and stops.

Had baby goats once. Once. A ball of fun, in retrospect but a LOT of work at the time. Kudos!

I used to take care of the new kids that we were keeping for reproduction. From a very old age I fed them from a bottle. They were always eager and couldn’t wait, almost attacking. Once I went out to pee. That was a mistake! I got charged and just had time zip up.

What ya doing with those goats?

My brother used to raise goats. We had a big snow storm and it turned really cold and windy. He worked for the NCDOT and was running a snow plow when the kids stared bouncing off the snow. My wife and I spent all day getting all the new mama's and babies to the barn. It was a ruff day but we got it done.

The young one's are fun to watch. One goat had three at one whack, the mother rejected the smallest one. My Mom decided to adopt it and named her Penny, followed her around like a puppy. I think at one point he had close to a 100 goats.

Will do Goat guard duty, in exchange for goat milk ��!

Ewe goats? Are they aiming for the easter/passover market with the kids.

[waksupi]

We had goats on one of our farms. You did not park a vehicle under a tree, if you didn't want goats on top of said vehicle as they ate the leaves!

I milked goats from age 5 to 14. I was embarrassed to tell the 8th grade coach what workout I was doing for my forearms.
I liked them best when they were in a dutch oven.

About mid March I will be getting 2 young Buck goats
One will be called Easter Boy and the other I have not decided on a name

A guy I used to work with raises goats

My wife makes cheese that she sells at local markets.

[Freightman]

My granddauter and daughter in law sell milk and cheese from the goats there are now 27 and


just four bucks. Granddaughter said does are easer to sell. As far as the coyotes lot,s of guns here and a Anatoly Shepard weighs 140# they can handle a wolf .

One dog or two dogs? If to they can play the game of stretch the coyote! For some reason coyote do not like that game so much.

Maybe because the odds of winning are so long?
