We've adopted a bottle fed hermaphrodite goat. What special needs do they have?
Dosen't matter if it is getting horns or not, both female and male goats get horns. they are dehorned 3-5 days after birth or when you see the horn buds grow in. We dehorned my doe too late so she has horns.Nat pees like a girl but is getting horns. Was bred to be a milking goat.
Bingo! Some breeds of goats both the does and bucks have horns! This is/was one of my biggest pet peeves with people regarding dairy cattle when we had our dairy farm, you wouldn't believe how many people thought the ones with horns were male and those withour horns were females.. So wrong! ALL of our calves were dehorned (holsteins are naturally horned) for safety reasons (both for us humans and the other cattle) no matter what sex they were..QUOTE(yankee_minis @ Apr 16 2008, 06:27 PM)

honeslty tracy your little one didn't look hermphridite to me from what I saw. it looked like her vulva was swollen/distended but she didn't have any "male" parts otherwise. Might want to see if you guys can find out what breed she is (or combination there of) and find out of they are polled ect.
there's an article in one of the recent horse magazines- Equus, I think, from last month? About a rescue mare who was actually a hermaphrodite. Apparently horses aren't true hermaphrodites... they explained it in the article. It was interesting, actually.honeslty tracy your little one didn't look hermphridite to me from what I saw. it looked like her vulva was swollen/distended but she didn't have any "male" parts otherwise.

[SIZE=12pt]I had a hermaphrodite Arabian horse years ago. I had the brand inspector come out to do paperwork when he was given to me and he wrote him down as a mare, til we had him do another checkHe looked like a mare when you lifted his tail, until he got excited then the penis came out from the vulva. He also had teats. Don't know anything about goats, but on that stallion you didn't see male parts unless he was "happy"[/SIZE]
