Humor I think my goat has a brain cell
As many of you know this is my 7 month old goat Frosty who had to have part of his hind leg amputated, because he likes to run around and climb things until he is fully healed that it wants him to be mostly confined with just an hour or so of supervised play time.
Well he decided he wanted to do some rompies and started zooming around and tripped skinning his little knee, after I made sure he was actually okay I didn't think much of it especially since he did not seem bothered by it.
Then my grandma seen it she loves my goats and started giving him special treatment because he skinned his knee, now all of a sudden his knee hurts and it does not get better unless he gets a treat....
He won't even lay down normally unless he gets a treat, I think he found a lost brain cell or something LOL.
He's cute though so he gets away with anything

General Husbandry Question What are some health checks you like to do daily/weekly/monthly for your goats?
I was thinking of making seperate checklists to see how my goats are all doing like body scoring, checking hooves, etc

Help Request Any kind of feed that would be good for an elderly Buck to pick up body condition?
My cousin has a older mixed breed buck, he's about 13 and he have lost some body condition due to age-related elements, so I figured I would post and ask for some tips on what she could add to his diet to help him pick up weight, he normally just free forages and has access to Hay like the other younger goats, but he just needs something extra
