One of my friends in school had her baby when we were about 15 or 16. She nursed that baby until she was like 3 or something. Brook would actually bite her! Brook was talking in full sentences and would just go tell her mom she was ready to eat!

And lambs wouldn't bite, unless they were zombie lambs, right? So maybe they make muzzles not just for weaning, but also for rabid zombie lambs. =) Any other reason is unacceptable.Evergreen loves Kilroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072000071491941674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357558426691728441.post-9442189838008859742008-06-28T12:03:00.000-05:002008-06-28T12:03:00.000-05:00When I saw you had dogs and goats I had to stop by...When I saw you had dogs and goats I had to stop by. We have 15? maybe goats. I lose count. Rat terrier and chihuahua that was a dog abandoned in the middle of a country field. Also we have a yellow lab, and many cows and a couple of bulls.<BR/><BR/>I have pix of everything but the cows, on my blog.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380878537519726863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357558426691728441.post-74077938851116004992008-06-28T11:10:00.000-05:002008-06-28T11:10:00.000-05:00We don't do it with our goats but some people put ...We don't do it with our goats but some people put the muzzles on when they are weaning the babies from their moms. Keeps them from sucking. If they took the baby away from the mom both of them would cry loudly. I know cause thats how we do it. We take the kids away from the doe during the day and put them back at night. It gets real noisy around here. LOLPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467921308987979013noreply@blogger.com
