    Surprise!!!

    I feel it's up to the person doing the bottle feeding. I know Rolls Farm bottle feeds all their babies, whew, but I prefer to let the mothers do the work! Bottle kids are fun but only when I have to.... In my own humble opinion I think they are friendly enough with handling when on the mother...

    All the babies are doing well :) One of the Nigerian kids will be leaving tuesday for his new home as a bottle baby. fortheloveofgoats, I also raise Boers and do recommend them for meat goats but I also don't have any experience with any other meat breed.
