With my meat goats I just let the mama take care of it, but I'm going to be going into dairy (looking at one...probably getting her, this weekend) and have been trying to decide which I want to do also. Pull babies or leave them with mama. I'm personally leaning towards bottle feeding the kids...

This is my second year raising meat goats and last year, my first year, I didn't have this problem. Last fall I purchased a new Spanish/Boer buck that did not display folded ears, neither did his offspring (which I got to see). I'm assuming that he was the carrier of this trait, I no longer have...
