I had 100 goats at one point. So yeah, I have bought young ones that needed bottle feeding and adults. View attachment 2743130

They are so cute! What do you feed them when you bring them home? Raw goat milk or powdered goat milk?

 

[CapricornFarm]

I need to find a buck for them.
Of course goat milk is preferable, fresh or powdered. But if I can't find any, I feed 3 parts whole cows milk to one part cream.

I’ve heard people say that they produce great tasting milk.

Goat milk is good. I have not had milk from these yet.

Any tips for raising goats? Do you breed them? One of our neighbors do…but he breeds meat goats…

Do you raise your own bucks for breeding or find studs?

They were scared to death and had several problems when I got them. One ran away for 5 days, right through the fence. She nearly died. But I started her on bottle feeding and now she's the friendliest one. They were supposed to be weaned when I got them.
