Okay, I have a nigerian doe that just won't loose weight. She is 2 months pregnant. She is the biggest meanest goat ( to us she is a sweety) I have. About 3 months ago my goats were on the skinny side so I was supplementing hay with grain, she butts the other goats aside to eat the grain and she got fat. So now ( 3 months later) she is still fat and we are tying her up since 2 1/2 months ago so she can't get the grain when the others are eating. :GAAH: She will have a very small handful of grain about every 4 -5 days...Any suggestions? Thanks!
I am going through the exact same thing with a Nubian doe. The only other thing I can suggest, besides what you are already doing, is if there is a place that you can put her and watch her hay rations. If not, once she is getting close to kidding - don't grain her, and then if you can milk her - that will help her to loose the baby weight!
haha want to see my overweight pig? [attachment=0:hxpw6kpr]February 16th 010.jpg[/attachment:hxpw6kpr] she is pregnant - at last I hope! but only like 20 days pregnant in that picture :roll:
yep .....they are called easy keepers.... :wink: Most of my does are big(fat) , I give them grain only once in a while and they are still big. They just get the pasture and some roughage every once and a while.... It could be good genetics to...... :wink:
