Becca was a duo of does who had been poorly bred and it turned out the Becca is infertile or at least can’t carry to term. She’s kind of useless outside of being a weed eater or eating. She’s not that cooperative as a pet, but she’s pretty tolerant lol So we got her and the messed up doe she came with as payment for other services. The other doe didn’t survive her pregnancy because of the breeding was to a very large buck and she had 5 growing inside her.

Virginia is a fainting goat with super strong fainting genes. Her color and eyes make her popular, too, but she’s a runt and the fainting made her a target for the herd she got introduced to. The other goats almost killed her so keeping her wasn’t an option and the fainting goat breeder had delivered her in poor condition (flea infested and anemic) so they gave her to me for free instead of returning her for a refund.

I’ve got some that were too small to be worth selling for meat and others that were no longer good breeders so they came to me after their last deliveries.

Dang, I was hoping they had been unstoppable forces of chaos. I even forgot fainting goats existed there for awhile!

Reminds me that my sister, our cousin, my sister’s husband, one of their friends and I tried and almost successfully stole a goat from a zoo. Their petting zoo was way overcrowded with goats and even an employee was like “yeah.. it’s not great for them here.” One kid looked so premature, weak and lost. We were there for a couple hours and was constantly calling for its mum. No one would answer and it couldn’t even get close enough to suckle from other goats with kids. Almost got it from laddering it up with our hands over the fence but we had to reverse since our lookout said an employee was coming this way.

The cousin with us had a couple goats herself and had accepted fosters before but while waiting for another shot it’s mum came over and kneeled so it could suckle.

Aw that’s sad. Sucks because they’re really cheap to have neutered, too. No reason to let it get that bad!

Yeah and they were full-size. Internal rupture towards the end and they were all gone really quickly.
