I would definitely look for some New Zealands. A solid colored doe since your buck is broken. You can find them in all sorts of colors other than white!

They gotta make up for the smell that comes later lol

The one I went by said no more than 18oz in a day. It split the oz up unevenly so through the day they got less for chance of grazing solids. Breakfast and dinner were the larger oz.

I have the stay at home order too. But what's really essential and non essential? Oh I thought maybe you just took him home to bottle feed and your farm was somewhere different than your house. Good luck with the bucket. Mine would drink water from a bucket but not milk.

These are my kids from this year. There are 6 days difference in age. 1 is the bottle baby. She's been penned with them since I got her. She's more dog than goat and it really hurts her herd status.

Cut a bottle. Can you pen him with his siblings of the night? He definitely needs herd socialized. He may pick up on what they do.

I got a 4 week old bottle baby that wouldn't touch food. Only wanted the bottle. I put her with kids her own age and she's eating solids now and almost completely milk weaned at 9 weeks. I say almost because she's also learned the does have milk 😂🤣😂

I did that with my kids born in January. I brought them in of the nights for maybe 2 weeks. Enough for the temps to get above freezing at night (and for them to put on some weight) I took them back out in the morning after giving them a few ounces of milk each. And they still gladly latched on...

Another boy 😭 was hoping for a girl. She's passed the placenta so she's done but I thought for sure she had twins.

Rowena went from a tiny bag bump to a full blown bag. She's been restless all week, up, down, eating and repeat. One of her many "I can't get comfortable" poses. Dont worry she's up and eating right now. And still has ligs.

Currently I have 10 total. Selling 3 kids and buying 1

The smaller ones spent the first week and a half inside of the nights. Temps were below freezing, between 15-20F. During the day they were outside with their moms. We had snow and alot of rain while they were little so I shut the gate to keep them in a stall. Get them with the herd. Then go...

Nap in the sun!

Oh and did I mention I was only charged for a partial office visit. So $10 to ease my mind was well worth it.

The first time I cleaned it with iodine. I scrubbed the site and the scab lifted enough to drain a good bit of the infection out. I've done it 3x total. You don't want the infection trapped.

Just left the vet. He asked a bunch of questions. But said whatever I did helped and she looks good. And if something happens where she stops eating or starts acting off to call and he'd get antibiotics pulled up.

Its genetic yes. Id give him longer to be sure that it doesn't decend in time. But there is no way to tell on the dams side if it was passed through her. What about your new buck? Does he have both decended?

I'll find out today. He is usually really great and helpful. We haven't used him in a couple years, he is usually out on the farms doing calls.

Almost impossible with rambunctious kids lol I cleaned her head pretty good tonight. I'll get her again in the morning.
