key to grafting a kid onto a doe get HER milk thru its system the doe must smell the kids poop as her own milk....that is the most normal smell she is searching for. they sniff the butts of the kids for their own milk scent to "know who is their kid and who isn't"

what keeps a buck off you----whack the top of his horns with a pipe they can not stand the vibrations. it will keep him off you and yes they learn......my big boer buck was a pain. he would wham my knees etc. I told Tony I couldn't stand it and he said, duh, whack him. I said yea right...
