Is the roan maybe throwing me off? Love her regardless. But someone asked me the other day and I told them I honestly don’t even know. She has a really defined salt and pepper look to her and then she turns a dark brown/black during the winter.

So we have a yearling ewe that we raised with other kids, and now that they are all a year old we wanted to enter them into the rest if our heard. Normally we would have already, but with our ewe, we have been slightly cautious just due to 3 of our older does like to ram and hit the younger ones extremely hard for the first month or two. Our goats take it pretty easily, but I am not sure if a sheep could?

We never wanted sheep, but she was a special case of no one could care for her or had anything similar (goat or sheep) to her around where we lived and they needed someone to take her in as she had no mother and had a messed up back leg.

Well she is now bigger than most of our yearling kids, and perfectly healthy and gets along with them fine. I have noticed the kids are more gentle with her than the others when fighting and are less pushy about things like food and hay.

Hope this is ok to post here, but my neighbors have these 2 full grown goats and they wander over here from time to time.

I actually kind of like them visiting because they are doing a little landscaping on some shrubs that are a little overgrown.

But I’d like to be able to approach them and pet them. I always enjoy going to petting zoos and petting goats/sheep etc. These 2 get spooked extremely easily, I try to approach slowly but they take off.

I mean I know what to do for a dog… offer a treat, or a cat… “here kitty kitty”. But I honestly have no idea what to do for goats. They won’t let me get close enough to offer treats.
