[QUOTE="Keren, post: 550112, member: 3195"] Msscamp - just knots from where the collar has rubbed her skin raw - I know what you were thinking ;-) definitely not CL and she is negative for CAE as well. I wouldnt have her if she wasnt. That being said, the diseases arent as prevalent in Australia as they are in America. Fourstates - get some goats - you'll love them! Rangergirl - I agree - she is beautiful. ET will be one of the things on my list to try if I cannot get her to carry the pregnancy. But I am hoping to get one lot of kids out of her, and if there are does in the litter I will retire her from kidding but flush her a couple of times and put the embryos in my dairy cross goats. If she kids but only bucks I will try for a second pregnancy. Bigbull, she most likely wasnt that thin when she was on the dairy. What happened was the dairy couldnt get her to rebreed so they sold her as a pet, and the next owner had her for about 12 months and in that time she has gotten real thin because they didnt give her any decent feed.
