Just when I thought I had everything figured out and everything was going great...
My three first time bred yearling does all have loose teeth and are about to freshen.
One, the oldest by two months isn't too bad. One hasn't lost any teeth but they all spread out really wide. One lost some teeth, some are very crooked. I can't remember the last time I checked their teeth, though I think I checked around once a month for most of their lives and they were never like that until I noticed this morning.
I started a mineral mix about one month ago and they were all looking very good, low in worms and they look great on the outside, all developed well, are larger than their mothers. I fed a lot of kelp, good
hay a redmond's salt block and about a handful of organic soaked oats or barley. I read that I
should offer free choice kelp from the book I got my mineral mix from, but I thought I fed a lot, like one handful per goat at a time (I have very large hands).
I took them off the mineral mix now and on as much kelp as they want, I don't know what to do, any suggestions?
People told me that human mothers sometimes get loose teeth and sometimes braces when they are pregnant.
My kids are about to freshen in the next week, gotta watch.
Perhaps a good solution would be to take them out of the scrubby areas and put them on this really great spring grass? We have amazing
dairy pastures here...
Out of time.
Plz PM if you have any information!
