Great, sounds like you're on your way to a nice herd!They are not around their own mother, we bought them at day 3 and bottle fed them bc she had her bag stomped off by a horse. they are separated by a chain link fence. they are around their full blood sisters, but can't get to them. long story how we ended up with them full brother sister. but we were going to start a second " flock ( or whatever)" with Billy and soon to be weathered timmy, with these goats we are gonna buy soon
