Possible free doeling??

ozark_jewels · #1 03/08/07, 09:27 PM

I have a very nice 3/4 Alpine, 1/4 Nubian doeling here who may need a more laid back home if she doesn't improve. My younger sister was feeding new kids this afternoon while I was in the barn delivering a set of triplets. Seems she stumbled and dropped this little girl about 2'. She landed wrongly on one front leg and cannot put any weight on it now. She still gets around and is eating just fine. She is one I planned on selling and with as busy as I am right now, it would be better for us both if she had another home to recuperate at if it is actually a cracked bone. I'm waiting till morning to see if she is putting more weight on it, if she isn't, she will be free to a good home where she can heal at her own pace and not have to keep up with the other 75 kids we are feeding right now. She is just a couple days old so will need bottlefed for at least three months. She is located near Mountain Grove, MO. She needs someone who knows about bottle kids and has raised them before.
She may be better come morning, it may be only a sprain, she may not need a new home at all. But just in case.......I'll know by morning anyway.

One of the sweetest does in my barn had a severe hip injury as a doeling and was given away. I bought her from that person and she had been bred. She freshened with an outstanding doeling. I'm looking for twins this year. She has absolutely no sign of ever having had a problem with her hip. I could easily show her and do just fine.

Sorry it took so long to update this thread, folks. Its been a *crazy* morning and I just got in the house to eat breakfast<yeah, I know its 3:30>. Loretta came and picked up the little doeling this morning, along with her brother for company. Thanks for all the interest.

Yes, I do. Qute a few in fact. It looks like we are cutting back further than originally planned so will have more kids for sale. More kids coming all the time.
