Hi all,
My milker Petunia is VERY pregnant. She got prego in December and I'm pretty sure she is going to have twins.
I was just reading my book about goats and weaning. He recommends that you immediately take them from their mothers and milk them.
What do you do when you want a milking goat and hand raised kids?
This is our first time with having baby goats and I did it only because I want Petunia's milk.
Do we let them nurse for a day or so? Or is it best immediately to remove them?
What's the best thing to do?
Also I don't live on a farm so if the kids squeal a lot, that might pose a problem for us. In that case is it better to remove them immediately?
Need some good advice!
Thanks in advance.
