No we do not have Ralph fixed. Been thinking about it though. Actually we thought we were going to have a huge problem with him several months back. It seems he picked out the goats that were not 100% and drug them off by their ears, leaving teeth marks, that drug across their whole ear and also broke the skin.

He did this to Nicholas when he had that bout w/the Cocci last July. We had to keep Nick seperated until he was better. Then he did this to another kid we had named Princess. She was a lot smaller than her twin, and weaker..after a few weeks her mother would not let her drink from her anymore either..Next thing you know..bite marks on her ears..We seperated her, and she seemed to have been doing ok, but she did die. We never really knew why.

He was "culling the herd" I guess, but at that time, we didn't know what to think or to do. But he has definatly grown ..although he still is a puppy. He is also obviously more aware of what is going on than I ever thought..I am glad we have him, and would be a nervous wreck without him.
