NEED HELP
Just got a dairy goat.
questions.
1. I know I should have gotten 2 but I got one.
newly weaned... missing herd... cried for hours last night in the garage and bleating a lot as soon as I go out of her site. Will this ever stop... neighbors are patient... BUT....
Can I get a loaner companion goat for a while.
Do I NEED to get another goat long term.
I'm SHORT on space but adequate for 1.
2. Where do i get hay in the e mem area... do I need go to Collierville.

I am not a total goat novice. Had them years ago but in a more rural setting and in a pair.... older does.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Kate
