*The following photos and commentary are provided courtesy of TimberCove LaManchas** Not much of a frame when you think of the body our goats carry around! Proof if we don't breed goats with strength of top line, feet, legs and bone; they wouldn't be able to make it for the long haul.
Look at the ribs; this shows what "flat bone" really looks like.	Splayed toes/feet start with the bone structure! Note the stifle joint is not a "ball and socket", but two "balls" on top of each other, held together by ligaments. A reminder to support that stifle while trimming those back feet.	Showing that this doe was open in her shoulders; if she had lived to an old age she would probably been in pain from bone rubbing on bone.
