On a Nubian you should be getting close to a gallon a day milking twice a day. Don't feed the baby whole milk from the store it is not good for them. They need colostrum for the first couple days and then she needs formula for goats sold at your local ag shop or online. Hope more milk starts...

Wow I think she looks great but she doesn't look big. We just had this experience and our goat was large around the belly and back end. I look forward to seeing your new baby!

Thank you perfect answer great stuff

My goat just gave birth and her udder was formed about 1 to 2 months in so I would expect a kid next month!!!

How long after the babies born can I start milking the doe? I just built a nice milking station and am ordering milking supplies. Super excited about the milk!!!

Thanks all for the help great experience with the baby. Now to start milking her is the next step!!

Thanks everyone for all the good feedback. It is a blessing to get this little baby today considering it is my birthday also!! On a serious note we think there might be another baby in there is it possible for there births to be spaced out a day or two? It would seem that would be the case but...

Thank you so much for the enthusiasm as soon as I get more I will share them!

The Nubians sound great with the mentor and the quantity/quality of the milk. We just got a few Nigerian Dwarfs cause they are less to feed since they are bit smaller. I have been reading that they are great for milking but they do give less milk but surprising for there size. Good luck sounds...

Great Forum thanks for the info. I am also a newbie and I am seeing there is so much info to learn, great stuff though loving it! :)

Love your little goat she is so cute. I just got two more nigerian dwarfs and I love em. Thanks for sharing. I am actually in the same boat as you trying to identify my goats breed. I can't post links or pics yet though. Thanks again for sharing!
