Busy… you nailed that one. lol
He’s getting around, eating… He’s just not straightening his back up or bouncing around like baby goats do.
I made a deal with my wife’s aunt. We now own the father of this little guy. He’s only ~ 1 1/2 years old and very gentle. He just has some MASSIVE horns and Eva’s aunt is an older woman. She is afraid to keep adult billies. So now I own him and she will bring her nannies down here to have them bred. It’s a win for both of us.
Of course, after bottle feeding this little guy, there’s absolutely no chance that he will be going anywhere. I’ll have two mature billies if he straightens out. If not, I’ll have one breeding billy and one wether (neutered male) billy to keep down the grass in the yard around the house. lol

Every time.
We’ve been doing rehab on him slowly. Like I said, he’s getting around better. The little guy can move faster than I can at times but if his back isn’t straightened out he can’t be a breeder. If I KNEW it was from an injury, maybe. But I don’t know for sure. If it’s genetic he should never breed anything. All his siblings are healthy goats so I’m still doubting if that could be the case.
I was given a link to a chat with a vet that specializes in goats. After I chat with her I’ll have a better idea what’s up and what to do about it.

There are a few people around here that rent out their herd to clear land that otherwise couldn’t be cleared. They train the critters to an electric fence because they can put one up in little time. After that they bring in the goats. It doesn’t take long to clear underbrush from a pretty good size section with a decent number of goats.

One of our neighbors tried using a goat tied with a long lead to a pole to clear an overgrown pasture and I was thinking about giving it a go as well. Unfortunately a bear got to it within a few days of it being put out in the pasture and I decided not to try it. I’d love to have more animals around but the bobcats, coyotes, fox and bear are fat enough around here without me feeding them our animals too.

And that is why we have seven livestock guardian dogs.
The bear population is growing fast around here.

Our other neighbor has a couple Great Pyrenees for that too. He has mini donkeys that are really cute. My wife wants one so bad but I’m not up to more chores right now. It’s fun to visit them though.

I like the Pyrenees but ours are crossed with Anatolian Shepard on the mothers side and the father is Polish Tatra Mountain Sheepdog. They average around 75-85 lbs and have a backbone a mile wide.
