Nigel is definitely all boy. He is very curious, very vocal, very into everything!

Finally - I have both the camera and charged battery in the same place at the same time! Toby is the brown and Nigel is the black.

She got distracted, but I managed to get one shot of Nigel hanging out the dish towels after breakfast.

Ok - before I get any more distracted, I am going to find the charger right now! :) Been busy dehydrating a couple BIG bags of carrots, and making applesauce ... among everything else. Looking right now ... :P

Well, we have been going with three feedings a day, and offering twenty ounces at each feeding. They have been taking 16-20 ounces, so I have been happy with that. This morning, both little guys drank their full bottles, then played outside with us for a while. However, Toby (my little guy)...

Thanks for the information! The formula I picked up is actually the milk replacement, same thing as their current owner is using. I was mostly concerned about store-bought milk. I believe the reason the current owner is using a combination of milk and milk replacer is to cut down on cost. I...

Hi! I am a new member here, and a new goat "parent!" Tomorrow, we are getting two Nubian bucks that are two weeks old. Their current mom has been bottle feeding them a mixture of vitamin D milk and powdered goat formula (mixed with water) three times a day. Now, I have already picked up a...
