Baby goats usually don't have to be bottle fed. Sometimes, though, a mother goat will reject a kid for reasons that only Mother Nature understands. If a doe has not accepted a kid within 24 hours, you can count on bottle feeding the kid to help it survive. Plan on at least eight w...
This involves leaving the babies on the mama goat to raise. If you are short on time and unable to provide a baby with a bottle every 4-6 hours, then this might be the best option for you. You won't have to milk the doe to feed the milk back to the baby every few hours, and...

.We feed our goatsa nightly scoop of alfalfa pellets (which is basically hay in pellet form), along with a flake of alfalfa hay at night and in the morning we let them out to the pasture. Our milking goats get a handful of grain at the milking stand, but no treats other than ...
much like you would test a baby bottle, on your wrist would probably work too. When it feels hot and not just warm I add the yogurt starter. I use a small container of plain yogurt that I buy at the store, divided between the two pots. I stir that in and check my temperature agai...
