LOUD wailing going down the road...

[Raftercat5]

If you heard it, then you must live in SC, and heard my goat riding in the back of the truck yesterday to go to the breeder's. OMG...she was soooooo loud!!! You'd think we were killing her! Nubians are known for being 'mouthy' I heard...but this one could've woke the dead! It was a 2-hr. ride and quite unnerving. When we came home without her, as she stayed at the breeder's for a few days, our other 2 goats were sooo upset! One is a milker, and she went off her feed. She cries and cries all day. I can't wait to get our goat back from the breeder's.

Well, there's your problem right there! She wanted to ride up front with you.

Actually, my girls were pretty quiet when I took them to the breeder last year - but they rode in the back seat. Ya know, ya may be a redneck if . . .

LOL! yep, we are pretty dang redneck... I imagine all of us! I once had 9 goats and 4 human kids in the back of a suburban going to and from a goat show....but even worse was transport calves in the back of the suburban, not in crates, but loose....I had a child holding a walmart bad under the tail saying 'if it pees or poops, keep that bag up under there!"....snow birds (yankees) from up north were traveling thru Texas in RVs at that time on the hwy getting a good look and nearly driving off the road!

I was wondering what that was! Mine must have been calling to yours, they wouldn't shut up all day! I think mine may have been trying to hitch a ride, Trixie's such a floozy.........

Oh man I took my new doe to the vet yesterday, tied in the back of the truck, on the way home (it's only 3 miles) We had the back window open, talking to her, well she pushed it open more and jumped in! My dd was screaming, no wonder there's a big GOAT in her lap. So I have to pull over and try to pull her back out. Well now the line is tangled around her legs, have to open the door and then she tries to run out the door. Push her back, then untangle her legs, go back, pull her out. All this while trying not to scare the goat, who had a 3 yr old screaming and crying next to her. Anyway now I know not to open the back window around a goat.

One of my little Saanan/Nubian crosses (born Good Friday and weighing in at all of 40 pounds) went into season. No way is this girl getting bred. You should hear hear her. You'd think by now she'd have a sore throat. And to make matters worse, the little escape artist managed to get out of the pen and stoll over to the bucks enclosure. Fortunatly she couldn't get (I love an electric fence) but it didn't prevent her from getting the bucks all excited. The joys of farm life.
