So, little background since I'm new to the forum.
We had meat goats when I was a kid, now I have my own mixed bag herd of dairy/dual purpose girls. Nubians, nubian crosses, sables, and a lamancha. All of course in medium to large size. I was completely and totally fine with that, and then I went to go pick up a nubian bottle doeling for a friend, and what do I find when I get there? The most ADORABLE little ND doe I have ever seen. So I get home, and keep hearing the siren song of tiny goats, and keep trying to resist. Fail epicly at that, and start doing some reading and research on the breed and see the average butterfat content of the milk for the breed a d now find myself seriously considering adding a small group of little midgets. If you have stuck with me this long then YAY! XD
Now for my questions. How common are dystocias with these little girls? Is it always a c-section situation, or no? What absolutely for sure warrants a cesarean? Any other bad and ugly things I should know?
Many thanks in advance for all information and advice. ^-^
