One should cull problem goats before breeding.Does with chronic problems and poor body condition will not have kids with the best chances for living.These does will serve as a focus of infection for the herd and next generations.Cull does known to produce kids with problems.Cull poor producers and those with personality traits that make them a nuisance in the herd.Devote more time to your higher quality and best producing goats.Keep only as many does as can be fed and cared for properly.Undernourished goats in late pregnancy are likely to develop pregnancy toxemia,may deliver kids with poor livability,overnourished goats have a tendency to do the same thing.Always pay attention to the body condition of individual does.
