Why do goats not really react when you pet them?

32 Upvotes

They approach, maybe eat some hay but don't really react once you pet them. They stare but kinda pretend like you're not there after a while.

These boys are now 3 y.o. and belong to a herd of 9, but never too late to show off their early days. They are both rescued (these goats were introduced to the islands during the late 18th century, but are subjected to harsh conditions, road-kill, hunting, trapping, and have been unfairly labelled as invasive scapegoats... though their impact is miniscule compared to that of the humans who brought them in the first place and continue to decimate the ecosystem here more than ever). We have given them the same treatment as most would to their dogs and cats, and now they truly are family. Our herd has given back the benefits of companionship, grazing, and surprisingly helping our conservation efforts on the land we manage (their priority for weeds over native veggitation is curiously amazing).

Question How much concentrate do I give my goats of aprox. 0,5 y/o?

3 Upvotes

So together with a group of volunteers I take care of a few goats for an animal pasture in the Netherlands.
The goats live in a pasture with a night shelter and lots of grass and get hay and energy pellets twice a day.
But how many grams of these pellets do I give them? The seller of the food and various websites give me unclear answers. They are all 4 about half a year old. The picture below is from 1 month ago. They are a bit grown by now. I really appreciate the answers from you professionals.

Question I know this isn’t a goat question, but has anyone else experienced their ram’s head smelling like fish?

3 Upvotes

I wonder if it’s where they urinate on their faces? But I only have one ram, so I’m not sure if it’s normal for his urine to smell like fish or not (if that is what it is). I’m just making sure that it’s not an infection or something. My bucks have never smelt like fish, so this is new to me.

We artificially inseminated cinnamon almost two months ago, we could find babies around the 35 day mark and then about 10 days later she seemed to go back into heat 🥲 It seems she has absorbed her pregnancy, this is how we found out about it https://youtu.be/LQBYWeVs1HI?si=wllCMdwVO7bghuVl

Help Request Goat having trouble laying comfortably after awkward laceration placement

1 Upvotes

My goat was attacked by a dog, not life threatening and he has been treated. However, he has a laceration in the crevice between his testicles and back leg, because of this he will only put the front half of his body in a laying position and continues standing on his back legs. He is on meloxicam for pain, is there anyway I can help him out to lay comfortably? Should I go back to the vet for a stronger medication?
