Thankfully my last doeling was polled. Why can't all goats be polled?

Born early this morning unassisted. Mom and baby are doing fine. I had two FF kid this year and each of them only had singles. This doe is a keeper for me. Mother and Father are both black. The color surprised me.

I woke up to a wonderful surprise Sunday morning. This little guy was almost dried off before I got there. She sure did surprise me on this one. I will have to count my days better next time. I thought I had more time and she showed no warning. At least I didn't think she showed any warning.

I have tried the black slip soda bottle nipples, and the Lamb Teat nipple. Tonight I am going to try a regular baby nipple but put 1/2 tsp white corn syrup in the milk. Anyone had success with that? The milk is being warmed to 100 degrees.

We just purchased 2 Alpine doelings this past weekend from a local farmer. The delings are currently feeding from their mother. They will be 1 month old when we pick them up. Am I safe using milk replacer or should we go with whole cows milk. We will have no access to goats milk. I have...

New to this site and goats with lots of questions. If you were just starting out raising goats for pets, whcih method would you choose: I could get a 2yr old bred Saanen doe due in March bred to a Toggenburg buck and hope for doeling kids, or I could wait and purchase Toggenbug doeling kids...
