I think I've broken my foot, am sat here with it tightly bandaged trying to avoid a&e. and trying not to swear between my tears how can I be such a muppet to do this 5 days before my goats due date and when I have 3 bottle fed 10 day old lambs to look after
There must be something in the air, my usually very well behaved tup managed to knock me sideways butting my knee, fortunately I fell against the gate and so was not on the ground. not broken or anything, although there was a strange sound when it popped out (and then back in again), and I can just about bend it again (thanks to double-doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen).... that means I am terribly late with my heptavac for the sheep, as I can only do it this coming weekend... I am now also using a stick when going into the boys field.... oh and two goats due to kid in the next two weeks...
Re male goats/wethers - it would be very unlikely that you would get someone to take them on as pets longterm, unless it is a farm park or similar (that's where my two GG boys went last year, but they were meant for the freezer...). You could try and sell them to someone for meat later, even if you wouldn't be eating them. But that is very difficult too.... so really I don't know what advice I could give you, other than that you are between a rock and a very hard place.... with only one goat to kid chances of only male offspring are quite high...
another possibilty would be to bring in another female kid (and bottle feed her), if you only have males, and sell your male kids as planned... - JUST DON'T GIVE THEM NAMES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
Hope your foot is getting sorted!
