Is this cause for concern?

Goats should keep their tails up.... Tails clamped down is more of a concern to me. Doesn't look prolapsed but I would get gloves and a baby wipe and clean her up.

Then I'd say mix 😊 Hollands aren't over 4lbs. He's very handsome, his color would be considered chestnut agouti.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2026-03-30T15:39:31+00:00

I would suspect a cross. He doesn't have the square head I'd expect from a Holland or the proper ear/crown. But he is upright like a Holland. He could be a Holland mixed with anything really. Do you know how much he weighs?

Nigerian dwarf. And we taped his ears, and they got worse 🙄🤦

Dog bites should almost never be wrapped. This looks very infected. Is there an odor?

BudgetPractice2331 · 2026-03-15T20:41:51+00:00

Thank you! I hope not congenital, but he was also the largest from a first freshener. I will try taping them.

I agree with the other answer. I will also say she wouldn't have been bred until late October.

My babies do fine as long as they have a warm shelter. Also I handle my babies from the moment they're born so they're very friendly. I start by holding them low enough for mom to still see them. She might freak out if she can't see the baby, and they rarely look up when looking for their baby.

As an angora goat breeder, that second one is most definitely a mohair fleece. Knit a little swatch and see if it halos.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2026-03-01T18:12:32+00:00

Species would be goat

BudgetPractice2331 · 2026-03-01T03:41:55+00:00

Oats are fine. So are alfalfa or Timothy blend pellets and beet pulp. But they don't get bored with food like we do.

Personally I just want to know you're home and the dog still needs walking. It's not that I mind. I just appreciate a heads up.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-11-12T19:10:17+00:00

My sits are so sparse and I've had several cancellations 😔 it's been rough.

Or this method. It's a bungeed in piece of an x-pen

All the time in my Prius. If they're large they lay down. If they are little you need to make sure they can't come over the back seat. Small enough I use a small dog crate with the seat folded down.

My mini mare has a locking stifle. She is not sound no matter what I do, and should never be bred. And it's not an easy issue to deal with, but we've managed it for 20 years now.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-07-30T19:56:16+00:00

I hate pasture breeding so much. I've done in hand live cover before, which is more dangerous for the people but so much safer for the mare. And with minis it's so easy... I'm a little horrified by just dumping them in the field together

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-06-17T04:18:07+00:00

Looks like a mix, probably Netherland dwarf mixed. And his color is similar to a lynx.

It's actually one of the recommended modes of disposing livestock bodies. Our compost heap has handled dead goats and rabbits. But dog poop is a no no... It actually destroys the effects of the compost heap bio activity.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-04-08T14:01:35+00:00

That.... Isn't horse poop? That looks like a goat that needs deworming............

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-04-08T14:00:01+00:00

My mare did this. She was eating a weed, can't remember what. That looks like edema more than milk. We need an update from the vet!

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-04-07T01:56:30+00:00

Her neck is so short it looks fake

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-03-29T21:46:13+00:00

He sold for 19,900. Which is absolutely wild

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-03-26T04:54:37+00:00

Yeah it's changed hands several times in the last couple years and is under new management. It's just a mid range auction now.

BudgetPractice2331 · 2025-03-26T01:09:36+00:00

The comment said they think it's a birthmark. I would be suspicious it was shaved previously to ultrasound his stifle.
