Mama goat that is not wanting to feed her baby's! help please

[TAH]

She is eating and drinking fine. She doesn't seem to have any cuts or scratch's. She will let them nurse in the stanchion when she has grain. She did this last time. We are going to take the kids off in about 10 days to bottle feed them, so we can have the milk.

I think I would go ahead and pull them at night when they reach a week or so, then milk first thing in the AM. That way you can start the babies on bottles with Mom's milk and slowly switch to cow's milk or formula, whichever you plan to do. Don't pay too much attention to me, though, since I'm a noob. Didn't you say this is her 2nd time around? She wasn't like this before, was she?

She was like this before just not with nursing thing. She is feeding them know with know help.

What BEAUTIES! I love tri-colors. One of the does Jaeger has a "date" with is tri-color, so I can't wait to see the outcome.
