"You can't really tell that much from a pedigree like this. It doesn't include any milk records, and none of the goats are "famous." I personally ask for milk records and pictures of the doe's udder. I would never buy a goat…"

"Only milking does need grain. Do not feed grain to pregnant does who are not producing milk. The extra calories can to babies who will be too large for a safe birth. I made that mistake. Ironically, it was my breeder who told…"
"i don' know unless the vet was going to give her hormone shots or something. i have read that some have kept a doe in milk multiple years. just maybe, if she wanted kids so much that she let others nurse, she might come into milk when kids…"
"Silly! Not "jumped in" at all. That's what we are here for, to help each other. It's not unusual to leave out a bit of information (which I did!) that could be important. We learn from each other's…"
