Well all the baby's are growing well. I am picking up some"drop" baby's, as the breeder calls them. She runs a raw goat milk dairy and this time of year needs the milk much, much more then she needs to feed kids. So I have purchased some of them and will bottle them and re sell. The down side is my 3 does in milk cant produce enough milk for 16 kids! So I am using a replacer and mixing that with the does milk. So far its working well wnough until more does kid out.
Madonna is driving me nuts. This doe really should be milking. Her last kidding she raised trips on her own. And they grew very,very well.
But right now she is a nervous mess. Not eating much and losing weight. Her production is sadly lacking. Hopefully she will settle down soon. as our first milk test is just around the corner.
Rodeo has adopted on of those "drop" Baby's. An itty bitty girl who REFUSED to take a bottle. What an awesome doe!
At this time Cachet is out milking all of them. Did weights this morning and she did 5.5 Lbs. Go Cachet!
Rodeo, who is nursing 1 kid that we lock up over night did 3.51
and Madonna only did 3.2 :( have to find some way to get this doe "happy"
