Just hate it when folks don't use a name :) Great pick up Drouthed Out! Picking kids by width between the front legs, is an excellent manangement tool. Makes for a much more robust adult also.
.............. She does have four teats which I guess is the Nubian influence...............Gary boers gave her the extra teats period!!
Anyway she may also carry the C6S gene, not all kids born to a doe can carry this, it also makes for a slow moving animal from heart probelms. Was she sick at all when young, pnemonia or diarrhea? Diarrhea forever ruins the lining of the gut, making absorption of the same amount of minerals and supplements in another healthy growing goats, impossible for this animal. Scar tissue in the lungs from CL or pnemonia is forever present also. This is why kid health is the most important aspect of goating, otherwise sell of the kid stock and buy adults from somebody with better kid skills than you. This is actually advice I give to 99% of my goat customers! Don't buy kids, and sell your first kids, raise some wethers to experiment on, but the money you can get for infant kids, sell them and purchase more grown stock. Oh and gary if you get a chance go over to countrysidemag.com they have a neat thread going on about Kudsu, did you know you can eat this stuff. The thread says something like "a new food source for your stock and you" Vicki
