NEW BABY!!!! *new pics 9/29*

[dwbonfire]

thanks all! she is doing great, she is soo much fun to sit and watch hopping around like a big white cricket!! lol just love her so much already!

my son loves to play with her and i thought maybe she could be "his goat" (shh, my way to justify keeping her!) so i would really prefer she doesnt have horns. i think just today i felt two little spots that havent surfaced yet. i also saw at TSC some dehorning paste.. i dont know much about it all but i assume once the horns break the surface, do you put dehorning paste on them to keep them from growing? will this be painful at all or is it not a good idea? i dont want to do it if its frowned apon, but i would feel safer if she didnt have horns around my son.

ive got to figure out how to post videos from my phone, i got some real cute ones of her jumping up on cynder blocks!

This is just the sweetest looking baby ever! Any new pics? Is she a bottle baby?

And...my newbie question...do you pull kids away from Momma at night so you can milk in the morning, like calves?

 

[dwbonfire]

nope shes not a bottle baby, and she really does have the sweetest face and expression, i cant seem to capture that with a picture as well.. shes a little trouble maker tho for sure!! i have a ton of pictures of her on my phone, it is like jammed up since shes been born lol i will get some on the computer and post them soon!
and for your question- i am also a newbie so maybe someone else will chime in on that..

Everything I have read says dehorning paste is a bad idea. If another goat gets it on them, licks it, it gets in someone's eye etc. Personnaly, we do not disbud our goats, but if we did I would not use the paste. Either banding or the iron seems the best two options.
