Emery has become an amazing barn manager. In this short video, he talks about how he cares for the goats between breeding and kidding seasons.
Because each goat is an individual, he has to watch them carefully to make sure that one goat isn’t “stealing” all the food and getting too fat, while another goat is not getting enough food. An overweight goat is more likely to have a difficult kidding with extra large kids, so it is something he carefully monitors.
Did you realize that taking care of goats was so much work?
