I think hair chewing is a sign that they need more protein in their diet? Other people will know more and me answering you will bump this thread back up to the top of the list.
Wiether pull hair
We have a 5 month old whether that pulls the hair out of another goat. The goat is 13 and at the end of his life with arthritis and getting thin other problems. Don't expect him to last more than a month or 2 but is a super friendly guy and so gentle.
This little wiether is just terrible by pulling his hair and eating it. It does not do this to anyone else. He has a brother that does not do this. Get plenty of good pasture, I give corn to also and access to minerals.
Is it just mean?
Thanks
