SPAMS PAGE

Spam was my first goat. My husband bought him for me as a gift. I will never forget how tiny he looked, or how shocked i was, when my husband carried him into the house to surprise me.
Spams mom had gotten sick when he was born so he ended up a bottle baby and he was most certainly bound for the meat market. He also ripped his ear pretty bad before i got him so he has a big scar on one ear. Thinking back maybe i should have changed his name but now it fits him and another name just wouldn't suit him.
I wanted Spam to remain just as he was when i got him. I didn't want him castrated or dehorned because he was my baby and i couldn't stand to cause him pain. I've came along way since the beginning. I wasn't thinking about him stinking during rut or getting his horns caught in the fence or hurting another goat with them. Thankfully, he has a little Pygmy in him so he won't ever get as big as some goats or i would have been in alot of trouble.
He was very sick his first year. I learned almost everything i know about goats on him. More than once i had doubts that he would ever make it through winter. After i got his wormer and food and minerals on track he started to get healthier by the day. Winter came and went and Spam grew bigger and bigger.
I did finally realize that i would be doing both him and me a favor by getting him castrated. The vet said he was so sweet he almost hated to do it to him but after it was all said and done we're both alot happier for having it done. Now he can run and play with the new girls i have and he doesn't have to have his own pen. I waited to long for his horns but i would advise anyone to dehorn their goats. Little goats don't stay little and cute little horns can soon become dangerous weapons.
Spam has more personality than any other goat i have. He is always looking for trouble. If it can be tore up then hes the goat to do it. He will always be my favorite goat and he will live out his life here as the happy weed eater.
