Congrats! I am so jealous though. I have to wait until Thursday for my Bottle babies! Enjoy, and I can't wait for pics!

They are a cross between Alpine, Saanen, and Lamancha mainly according to the dairy. But really the breed doesn't matter that much to me, lol.

rotfl, they'd have to be contained in at least a box, i don't it would probably be safe to drive with them hopping around the car:P

Guess it wasn't crazy to think of putting them in the minivan then rotfl. Probably going to be the minivan then, I don't have a xl dog crate, just an xl dog house hee hee.

We will be bringing a few home, but I am not sure what to pick them up with. Its a 2 hr drive. I have a truck with a topper, but maybe thats overkill? A big box in the back of the minivan??? They are full sized goat babies and age ranges from 2-5 weeks old. I am just having a hard time...

We will be getting some babies from the Amaltheia Dairy on Thursday and these are some pics of some of their goats! I am so excited! Lol Just had to share:D

:weee :love

Adorable!

That would be a good thought, maybe a nutrient that she gets more in the summer. I hope you are able to figure it all out. I wonder if an allergy could make it worse too. We had a cat that had seizures when she had catnip. Took a while to figure out because you would assume all cats can have...

I don't have any experience with the goat aspect of this but we did have a dog that did have a similar problem. Her episodes progressively got worse over several years and then she never did come out of one and we had to have her put down. It was terribly sad, it was like the lights were on...

Thanks for the info! A wether wouldn't be totally useless because during the summer we need lots of weeds/grass mowed around the ranch. And we might just use the cart thing:)

We will be going to a dairy to look at some babies and I wanted to see if you all had opinions on what we should get. Our options are bucklings, which we would have wethered or doelings. At first I thought just the wethers would be fine for pets for the kids/weed control, but then I thought if...

Great suggestions. They are on bottles and I will talk with the dairy and see what they are using. I can't wait to share pics!

Thanks,it looks the we will be getting babies that are either 1-2 weeks or 3-5 weeks old. I am so excited! Now I need to decide what to get the 1-2 week old males are free the 3-5 wk old males are 10 and the females are 50. I am almost thinking spend the money on the females just in case in...

Still looking:)

We are looking at getting some bottle babies and I would like to know what we need. Such as brands/kind of milk replacer/bottles/feeding schedule? Just general info is fine, I just need an idea what to expect. Thanks! Christine

I think if I can find some writers it will be fabulous!

We are looking for a couple. Mainly as grass/weed control pets and for the kids. We would love to get a couple of bottle babies and raise them from babies but that seems to be easier said than done. We are in SW Montana. Thanks!

My mom and I are trying to put a week of guest writers together for our blog The Hermity Farmer-Women. While we are anxiously waiting for the weather to warm up to get chicks and goats and such we are looking for several people who would like to share information about their herds. In particular...

Unless she was bred to an enormous bull, she will probably be just fine. Uterine prolapse after the birth would be the only thing I would worry about with her being that young, but if she is monitored carefully after the birth that can be fixed as well. If the calf is too big and the vet can...
