I think that the reason pygmy wethers seem so susceptable to UC is because they are "beloved and spoiled" pets. All to often when someone has told me about their wether getting stones I find out the goat has been fed incorrectly, usually way too much grain. One was even being fed dog food! I found your experiment interesting! I have long suspected that the age of castrating didn't have as much to do with UC as diet. Look how many overfed bucks get UC!
