WildersMilkMaid
Overrun with beasties
I have a 3*M ND doe who kidded unexpectedly (previous owner gave me wrong breed date) on Saturday while I was away from home and one of her two kids did not make it.
I am relying on her as a big part of my home milking and I want to know how to best maintain her supply between now and the two week mark when I’ll start milking once a day.
I assume bottle feeding the baby is the best way, but I have never done it and have a young toddler of my own who makes things a little difficult. Any advice for this newbie? Thanks! (PS Handsome little dude isn’t he? I’ve got him up on craigslist hoping someone wants him as a bottle baby... good idea?)
