thanks for that. yes, 3 of my does are milk does. we do not allow them to bond with their mothers, or nurse from their mother. we use goats milk on a day to day basis. next year we will have more milk does that will not get to keep their babies either. we have 2 more milk does to kid, one that is with in the next 2 weeks and the other is not due for a few months.

my nigerians are allowed to raise their kids, as is my other doe tink.

aww they are so cute! I bet they get to be real pets being bottle fed that way. Thanks for sharing those pics. I had baby goats about 20 yrs ago and I miss it. Dh doesn't like goats now so I can only get my baby goat fix this way.

Do you ever put your milk goat babies on your nigerians or on Tink? I knew a guy that would go buy bucket calves cheap and put them on his mama goats to nurse.

we havent done that yet no, but maybe someday.

thats another plus , since we are keeping these does and they will be bred for future milkers, bottle feeding them will make them super friendly :)
