I have been raising goats for over 11 years now, and Barbado sheep about 9 or so.
I'm 80 now, and have COPD, so cannot do as much as I used to.
I live in Imperial Texas, a small community in Pecos County.
My neighbor does most of the feeding for me now.
She loves animals also.
We had to raise a bottle baby last year, because her mama was young and refused to let her suckle.
I did manage to get a few tablespoons worh of Colostrum that we mixed with the milk replacer.
She has done well, and is out with the rest. Though she was penned away from the rest, she was not isolated from them.
I hope to not have to do that again.
