Pregnant goats have a protective plug in their teat canal, which helps prevent bacteria from entering the udder and causing infection. Squeezing or milking a pregnant goat's teats can dislodge this plug and increase the risk of mastitis.

It's essential to handle pregnant goats with care and avoid any unnecessary manipulation of their teats to ensure their udder health and reduce the risk of complications during kidding.

Boer goats are notorious browsers, and they love to forage for leaves, twigs, and other tasty treats. They're agile and curious, always looking for their next snack. Their ability to browse and adapt to different environments makes them a popular choice for farmers.
