It happens! We are glad you were able to correct the problems and help them out! Thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to leave a message!

Thank you very much! We appreciate your support and we appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind comment. We fixed her up the best we could for now. We are hopefull her feet will begin to correct themselves.

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. You are correct, a lot of people just don’t know. Hopefully this helps some folks out. Best wishes to you and your family this year. 😬

You are very welcome

Thank you! We do what we can. 👍🏻

I would agree. Sometimes you just do what you can. We have experienced some hooves that are very hard as well. Definitely makes trimming much more difficult. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

There was a time that we did this. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to screen people before purchasing. At one point in time we would bring “problem” animals here, help them, find a home for them, etc. as our presence grew online we were becoming inundated with these animals and had to stop. Every time we bring an animal like this to our farm, we take a significant risk at exposing our livestock to potential problems such as disease, parasites, etc. To sell her to a farm responsibly would need to require blood work, fecal egg count, etc. this is not to mention the things we cannot check for such as abortive bacteria, so on and so forth. So… it’s tough. We brought her on as a special case for a special person. With all this being said, we do our best to do what we can for the animals. For example, if we have a “problem” sheep or goat that needs to go we will reach out to our community to see if someone wants a pet or companion. We can do this because we know we aren’t going to place other livestock at risk by doing so. This kind of case makes things complicated because we don’t know enough to say, “this isn’t going to hurt your existing flock or herd”. If a when we take an animal to the auction, we let them know why the animal is there. We have a good auction house we deal with that will generally tell the customer. Unfortunately, what that customer chooses to do with the animal is another story. Long winded response to say, I hear you. We appreciate your attitude and concern for the wellbeing of the animal. Thank you for commenting and hopefully our response helped a little.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

It can. This process will potentially take years.

That is good! It is unfortunate that some people don't do it at all. Thank you for your comments and thank you for supporting our channel.

😂

Very cool! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and of course, than you for your support of our channel!

Ps - That knee trick helps me out big time!

By the looks of her horns she looks about 4poor baby should be at least 300lbs by now. She's Boer or mostly

Good job bud

I could cry for how much pain she must have been in. 😢

You could actually retrieve in about 3 days again 5hen you will see what your up against. Keep her and give her a chance. She's sweet. With proper care miracles do happen. She may end up a wonderful mother. If they didn't care for her feet they probabily didn't give her proper minerals and feed to make more milk. I've had does that seemed to be poor milkers but never had problems again. It's the food.

I had HALLELU- YAH BOERS. I DID HAVE 148 DOES UNTIL I GOT VERY ILL. HAD TO FIND THEM A GOOD HOME. FOUND C A 4H BOER LADY. I GAVE HER MY HERD. I STILL CRY .IM 74 I HATE GETTING OLD. BUT MY BUCKS WERE OUT OF SMARTY JONES AND ENOBLED MY BIGGEST BUCK WEIGHT WAS 586# BEAUTIFUL. VERY SWEET AND WOULDNT TOUCH THE DOELINGS IN HEAT. ONLY THE MOMMAS. THE 15 YEARS I HAD HIM IT WAS ALL JOY. NO FENCE PROBLEMS, NOT EVEN ONCE. NO FIGHTING WITH OTHER BUCKS. IT WAS HEAVEN. BUT HE LOBED DRINKING HOT COFFEE / W CREAM😅😅😅. I MISS HIM ❤

😂 we have seen some breeds that grow super fast as well. It happens! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience!

Agreed. Based on her size and overall condition, she was very poorly cared for.

This is true. People can definitely have a couple animals on their small farm/home but still need to do their best to learn how to care for them appropriately. As you mentioned, there are limited numbers of small ruminant vets out there and in many cases, individuals need to learn how to do basic vet care on their own. This can actually be an enjoyable part of having some livestock. If people don’t want to provide the care, they should avoid getting them.

​@@LinessaFarmsFurthermore, this gives small homesteaders/farmers a bad rap, and you will find other, non-homesteader, people advocating/lobbying for the governance/regulation of livestock on small farms - in the interest of both the animals and safety.. This pushes people away from becoming independent.
