But first a quick update on my own goats:
I thought it was time to put Jenny's Mom in with Jenny. They immediately got into a knock down, drag-out head-banger. Daphne is half Jenny's size, but she has been herd queen for years and she kept taking the high ground. Jenny wouldn't give up even though she fell down. I broke them up and took Daph out where she stood breathing hard for some minutes.
That means I probably will have to put one of the lesser does in with Jenny, but there is only one house and I don't think Jenny ever bunks with either one of the lesser does. And any of the wethers will most likely be able to beat Jenny up.
My other option is to start taking them on walks and letting her mix with everyone and see how that goes. She is not 100 percent yet as I could see in her bout with Daphne, but I don't like having to keep a goat separate.
Here are some more pics of Willow at the farm:

Love the pics!!! Especially the last one.. On putting the goat back in with everyone Can they sahre a fence line till she gets stronger? That would probably be all the company she needs right now. I hate keeping them separate too but sometimes is a necessary evil.
