Related: About this forumWe have a baby goat! It is now 5 days old and appears it is going to live. The barn is heated and it
is very near the heater so the weather is not going to hurt it unless we lose power.

I love my goats with a passion, they are one of the most wonderful creatures I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
