We have two yearling does -a Togg and and a Sanaan. Irish kidded early Saturday morning. I had the baby monitor on next to my bed because I knew she was close, and went out at 5am to check on her and there was a cutie pie buckling. So THAT was easy (for me anyway.) He's a healthy little squirt and the cutest thing we've ever seen. He's togg/ boer cross.
Mom is doing well.
Trying to figure out a feeding schedule in the coming days. I milked the mom this morning and she nearly broke my nose while getting her up on the stand. But we got 7 oz for our baby boy Mose! Trial run- I have faith she'll do better as she gets used to us. She's a timid girl!
I don't want to bottle feed him. When should I separate him? When will he wean? I want to milk her twice a day if I can (with him still nursing.)
They are all in a large stall together but can be divided with a partition.
Thanks for any tips.
