My oldest Dam is 4 years old and pregnant. She got a really pretty light undercoat (curly and wooly looking) this winter, and she's shedding that now. How much shedding is normal for winter coat loss, and how much might make you concerned there are other issues?
- She was wormed about 1+ months ago.
- She has access to minerals free choice.
- She has access to good hay and alfalfa free choice.
- She gets about 1/2 cup goat mix grains a day.
Her coat doesn't seem different other than she's got a thick winter coat that's shedding. My other goat doesn't seem to be shedding at all. She's still a furry ball of -1year old goat hair. She didn't get the wooly undercoat that my older goat got. (her previous owner says she always gets a curly wooly winter undercoat, so that's not different.)
I'm just trying to be sure I'm not missing something I should be catching...
