It's a girl. We named her shaker because her mom was Pepper. Gf get confused too because only our boys are gray, all our girls are black and white. We are stantioning oreo during feeding time hoping milk get through her system. Thanks

We tried to graft Shaker to Oreo after 1st milking colostrum then milk. Even tried stantioning her. She did not want it and 1. would not let her milk down or 2. dried up. Not the last option as we had Eclair with a baby. Stantioned her and tried that for a couple days. Did not work and made her very mad, which is out of character for her. We have a wonderful bottle baby in the kitchen and Oreo is happy back with the herd.

Your goats must be like mine...so very not into sharing.

Thanks for the update! Glad the kid is doing well with bottle feeding!
