Goat in shock

Thanks.

I spent some time with the goats today - the wethers all gathered around and cuddled, peering up into my face with worried expressions. Curly,the Toggenburg wether, tried to climb into my lap, but he's a bit big!

Ohh, she really was a Beauty! Poor baby.

She was one of the sweetest goats I've ever known. She gave kisses (she'd lick you half to death) and loved to have her head rubbed. She came to me a year ago last spring to retire from having kids - and I think she had a pretty good retirement. Ten acres to roam on, and lots of kids to babysit.

What a very nice photo of her. She had some very nice green grass to eat and lots of land to roam on. She was very lucky to have you as a owner.

Well, this whole thing makes me ill. If I'd placed her with you for her retirement, I'd be beyond livid. I'm unsubscribing from this thread now, as I can't stand it anymore.

Have a better holiday season, ok?

Excuse me? Beauty was with me for over a year and a half, with the same goats all this time, and there was never a problem. If I'd ever seen her being bullied, you can bet I would have moved her to another pen immediately - my BoerX doeling is separated with some other doelings because she was getting thumped.

I received an email from her owner who was sad that she was gone, but thanked me for letting her enjoy the last part of her life. He isn't upset with me - he understands that unfortunate things happen.

So sorry she was so cute! Pook you can have all my does that need a good home I don't know what is with Laura, but hey you gave her a good home for a year and half. We must all remeber she was old, and old goats can;t handle tons of stress like an older animal.

Laura, not a very nice thing to say. It's not like pooks meant for anything to happen. They are goats, and things happen sometimes. No one can farm forever and not have an animal die, it's just how it is.

I have personally met pooks and can vouch for her being a caring goat owner. She was very helpful with me when I was looking for a goat and took special care in bringing "Bambi" down to my farm. I can tell she does care for her goats.

pooks, I'm sorry you had to lose one of your "babies". Did you say most of your goats are descended from Beauty? Maybe my Bambi is one of them? In any case, she is a sweetie! I hope to keep that line going........

Take care,

DD
