Hey, what kind of goats you got? I'm getting two Nig. Dwarf dairy's this weekend. I used to have milk goats growing up, and once for a year about 10 years ago, but she was alone and unhappy. I wisely bought two when I got one this time. One is in milk, (weans Sunday morning, after nursing quads for 2 months) and we pick her up 2 hours away on Sunday, and on the way back from there, just outside of town, we're also picking up an 8 month old who's been with a buck for 2 months, so they will be buddies. Both from dairy lines, though, so there ought to be just enough milk for my family of 4.

What kind do you have? Do you milk? I'm guessing so, since your bottle feeding kids (aka piranhas)

we have 1 lamacha (a mean broad -_-) a alpine (a sweety) 4 nig, 2 are a doe, one of the does is still on the bottle (she is related to my weather, which is looking for a home!) a weather, who i just stated is looking for a home, and a buck (still on the bottle) right now all our nig are grade (but the babies can become grade papered, which we are planning to do)

and none are in milk (hopefully next year!)

Great! Mine are all in 3 registries, so I loved that.

My lone goat (the one who was not very bright) was a gopher ear LaMancha too, but a sweet one. Shes gone now. I used to milk Sanaans and Nubians. The Sannans were awesome, and the nubian was nuts. LOL. She was a bottle baby, and I spoiled her too much. Held her in my lap. Years after, she's escape her pen, and come running looking for me. Nothing like have a full grown Nubian sprint 100 yards and jump into your lap in a lawnchair. (I can't even count the times she tumbled me over backwards in this fashion) She was a very charming rascal.

our babies (the bottle doe for sure) if you sit down, be ready to have a goat on your lap.

 

[Marty1876]

Ah yes, how I remember. I've never since that nubian, held a single kid (goat kid) in my lap to give a bottle. Never ever. However, a freind of mine always puts her girl kids she's going to keep on the milkstand to feed them, so they will always love the milkstand, and can't wait for any opportunity to jump up and get their heads into it. She keeps giving them snacks there every week or two, and by first freshoning, its all easy.

Nanny the Nubian (creative name, eh?) was always much too interested in me to be a good milker. I kept after it for a couple of years, but by year 3, she was offical kid mama, and I ceased fighting her on the milk stand. Turns out a spoiled rotten goat is as back in a milkstand as a wild goat.

 

[miss heny]

our young does are getting use to the milk stand, and the babies are not feed in the lap any more
