INFERTILE GOAT? Nigerian Dwarf doe Diagnosis & Treatment

How can you tell if your goat is infertile? Can it be treated, and what are your options?

One of our Nigerian Dwarf does has been in with our buck for 6 months and has not settled (been impregnated) yet. Though it is incredibly uncommon for a female Nigerian Dwarf to be infertile it is possible, but there are other factors that could be affecting her fertility.

While at the vet we took three of our bucklings (Kayce, Oscar, and Kash) in for disbudding. We were here for this purpose with two other kids only a few weeks ago but all three boys were slow developing horn buds; we brought them in today so we won’t have to worry about that going forward.

To close Megan talks about our doeling, Jolene, who died late last week. Jolene had been struggling for a time and was unable to pull through. It’s upsetting but animals come with problems and while we do our best to care and provide for them sometimes it just isn’t enough.

Thank you all so much for watching this video, and if you want to see more on our goat herd be sure to subscribe to the channel. We have more goat kids coming in a few week and when we get Annie sorted out (positive thoughts!) we’ll have even more coming later in the year. Even without babies being born there’s no shortage of things to do around here and we hope you’ll join us on our journey. See y’all soon!
