[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1347359, member: 378"] :welcome: nice to have another Oregonian on the board. I don't think you would ever get a goat to nurse off a cow. Too many problems including different species, teat size would be a problem, stick with weaned goats if you must have some. Full disclosure, my wife has about 20 boar goats and I truly hate them. I have spent years trying to make their fence "goat proof" and have given up. They simply stand on the fence and it will soon fall over, might as well use field fencing to try to hold water in. Both my wife and I have said we'll never have goats again, but she's the type once you have an animal you don't sell. That's why the goats are hers and the cattle are mine. :lol: Also I would be curious to find out how clearing your scotch bloom goes, I don't have any on my place but there is a lot around. I have seen folks bush hog it but it seems to always come back. Are you able to get a long term control of yours? Is there a spray for it? Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
