Longing for Male Companionship....... ?

This is the third day in a row that Jasmine has bawled none stop. She stands on top of her rock and cries and cries and cries. What on earth is her malfunction!? She cries more now than when she first arrived here almost a year ago.

I think it is even getting on Jessica's nerves. Jessica has put distance between her and Jasmine. Before the girls would be inseparable in the pasture. So inseparable,  that we have often wondered if they were sharing the same blade of grass! Now Jessica (the kid sister) will even go in the barn all by herself, leaving  Jasmine out in the pasture to cry.

 I have been kind of concerned. At first I thought it was because of the cold spell. My goats do not like extreme temperatures but Jessica the sensitive one, hasn't been crying like that!  Then I thought maybe she had hurt herself. After I gave her a check up, I decided that there wasn't anything physically wrong.  What a mystery this is!

But still my poor little goat longingly looks off to the distance and cries out.... Is she crying out for a beau!? Does she dream of the day of a handsome buck coming to whisk her off her hooves?

I haven't noticed any tail flapping but it does make me wonder...

What do you think? Does this look like the face of a doe pining for a lover???

  2. My vet told me a cat might yowl 10 days or so, or until bred, if she's in the mood. Got some racing earplugs!!?!?

  3. Maybe she just needs some good-lookin' travelin' man to tell her that she's his hearts desire!

  4. Funny photo. I think Jasmine is a romantic person trapped inside a goat. Or are we goats trapped inside people? (Cue Twilight Zone music.)

  5. She's probably cycling. Has she cycled before? LOL, it's soooo much fun to have a lovesick doe on your hands isn't it? Star came in at 6 months and I swear she has the most plaintive bleat when she's in heat.........

    She's beautiful by the way!

  7. I am pretty sure she is in heat. I have been looking for a fella but that is proving fairly difficult... Maybe next time Jas.

  9. My twin female goats used to cry whenever they were apart, but this one sounds like she is longing for her own true love. Perhaps she is calling "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo??!!" in goatspeak.
