I pulled her yesterday and yesterday she slept almost all day and had a horrible time with the nipple. Today is a different story, she gobbled the milk right down and her brother and sister are also doing much better with the momma. They are jumping all over the place in the barn and their...
Thanks, dh is at the small local market now getting whole milk, I just read this on a different thread. She is about half the size so in the house she comes.
Thanks! I had some Land O' Lakes kid replacer in the freezer from when I had the baby lambs and I mixed some up and she happily drank a little. I am going out to see if she is half the size of the other two and if she is I am going to pull her. I will be picking up some BOSS though as soon as...

My husband just asked where you live and I told him I didn't know. I also told him you were kidding! We can't believe how fast these babies are getting new homes.
Wow, thanks for all the compliments. If all of you think she is that cute, I guess she is a keeper. I am glad to hear that because I really want to keep her.
I really don't think it is frostbite while it was cold and she kidded outside in the goat shed full of warm straw I found them and moved them up to the kidding area with the heat lamp within a half an hour.
Cmjust, coming from you I am taking that as a compliment, thanks! I love reading your...
