Good morning,
I have a Nubien goat that is due to deliver in about 10 days. I have read lots of material, but still feel very unprepared. What due I need for supplies to be ready? Iodine? (for dipping naval?) Do I have to cut the imbilacal cord? I read that I should separate kids from mom asap and bottle feed yet others say to leave with mom for only three days? Others just put them out and it is what it is. Any info and support is greatly needed. I live in MAine. Still cold nights and some days. bring them in? I am stressed and feel helpless not knowing how to handle this situation. HELP PLEASE!
