I have 2 Jacobs - ram & ewe, about 4 months old pastured together at the moment. Earlier this week I brought home a 2 month old Pygmy doe kid. When I first saw her she was about a week old, so when I went back to pick her up this week was very surprised at how tiny she still is. I'd say she is half the size of my young Jacobs, maybe even less than half!

As of now she is safe in a nicely bedded stall, but I think she's lonely since being taken directly from her flock. I'd really like to pasture her out with the Jacobs as soon as possible. However, my lamb ram already has a lovely 4 horn set........ I'm just afraid of a chance they won't accept the doe. Can anyone advise me of precautions I should take? Thank you for the advice!
