Bottle Baby Goat Basics 

So cute!

My 4 hour old rejected baby is sleeping beside me on my bed while I watch this. Life is beautiful.

I raise the bottle babies for All the Boer goat farmers who have bottle babies. (Mom died, got rejected, triplet, ect.) I’ve done it for 4 years now (I’m 16 now) and I just love it! When they are weaned I either Give them back or Ill have the occasional “Foster fail” and keep him/her! I have my own little heard of bottle babies I’ve kept through the years I’ve been involved in this. They all are extremely imprinted on me, and quite honestly don’t act like goats at all. It’s funny because people are so shocked that they (sometimes lol) listen to me. They follow me everywhere and I go hiking with them in out woods pretty much Dailey. Wish I could add pictures! Great info

I love your video😍

Thank u som much i needed this we have a baby goat and and the mom doesn’t want her baby and she bites the baby so we keep the baby inside the house and I need this cause he dose not want to drink formula but thank you 🙏 ☺️

Can you give a mama goats milk to the baby?

Having bottle rasied more than 30 kids I can tell you this warms my heart to no end. And if I'm correct the little baby is a TOGGENBERG and she looks like one of alltime favorite babies that I raised, she being the runt of a quadruple birth. She had misinformed front legs so that she couldn't run around like the others. So I improvised a sled for her to ride on when we took the herd out to brush graze along the Buffalo River in NW Arkansas. Oh and her name was LOLA. Thank you for sharing. I needed these memories again.

I have a 2 week old NDG who is bottle fed. We are having a difficult time. How much milk should she be getting with each feed?

Omgoodness so Precious 🥰 So good to see you Kathryn, just as pretty as ever. Thank you for your continued, informative videos❤

GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR LOVE TO THESE MARVELOUS HIS CREATURES

Well said that emergency situations happen! I had 2 first time Nigerian girls kid this year. One had no problems at all,had twins she cared for beautiful! My second doe had to have an emergency c section. Her and her twins survived and are doing well,but she didnt know what to do with them. Had to bottle feed them.

Never mind you just answer my question

thanks for sharing nice video btw, but what is colostrum powder for? i heard they die if they dont get it ..

Right off the bat a first time mother throws triplets.

So this could have been a 30 second video.. good advice.. piss poor delivery

How much per feeding?

Is their a way to get a doe to adopt a kid that is not hers?

👍👍👍👍

So glad you aren’t using replacer! We switch to cold milk after a few days, we add whole butter milk to help gut function too but just whole milk works fine too

call her esfer

It is 37 with a high of 40. I brought 2 new born goats into the house to warn up from 20 degree early morning temps. Should I bottle feed or attempt to get them connected with momma?

We recently had to get rid of my puppy. I was so upset. So I ended up getting a goat!! My moms friend had a goat who was pregnant!!! So I wasn’t gonna get her until she was was weaned but her mama died so I got her at 4 days old she’s 6 days old now and I finally found a technique on how to feed her! But anyways thanks for the video it was helpful! She also is staying inside with me and sleeps on my bed with me I put diapers on her lol! Edit: also she’s a little doeling I feed her with a regular baby bottle because the goat nipples the one that your using she wouldn’t take I don’t know why Edit: it’s been like 4 weeks. My baby doeling know drinks on her own no forcing or nothing and she gets all pumped up when she sees her bottle 😅

I like your organge golden hair..i always like that color hair but it wouldn't fit my skintone..on Hispanic

How much do they eat? I have a little girl just like yours.

Thanks for the information, and advise. This is my 2nd season kidding goats.

I bottle feed a baby named stormi to

I know you probably named her by now, but she really looks like a Rita.

Hi, im a new goat owner. I just got to 3 week old pygmy goats. I dont like to take animals away from the mother bfore being weaned but the person I bought them from dont sale weaned goats. I read so much on care but now i got them home and its been a day and the half and they wont take the bottle. They hollar very loud when trying to bottle feed them. The minute i put them down they go to the water bowl and drink. When I got up this morning they had almost drank all of the water from the bowl. They will also nibble on hay and pellets but will not drink from the bottle. Im really worried and seller is not responding. They are running aound playing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Who else is watching this video while having a baby goat on their lap... I am struggling to feed her. She is so weak😣

Mine is only 3 days old and fights taking the bottle the woman who I bought her from gave me a nibble it seems like it comes out to quick it has like a x opening of the nipple but it really flies out my 2 year old human is still drinking a bottle cause he has some health issues but this would be to much for him. I think tomorrow I have to find a nipple that is slower. Is it suppose to run out fast Thanks first baby goat well I got 2

She's probably been named by now, but I'd probably have named her Feather or Whisp.

I got a baby goat that's 4 weeks old. He was nursing before I got him and I'm having a really hard time getting him to take a bottle. Any suggestions?

I know this is an old video, but I just got a bottle baby, the rut of a set of twins. Momma doesn’t like her. Anyway, thanks for this information. I sure was needing the help.

I have two baby goats

I just picked up a kid today. She is 6 and a half weeks old. I was wondering if I could give her a couple bottles of whole cow's milk? I'm new to the whole kid part of goats. I had a male that I picked up at like 5 yrs old. The people I got her from, said she was good to go from mama. So I'm just maybe needing help or advice please and thank you.

We have 3 baby goat and suddenly they mother died and we are using a bottle feed to our 3 new born baby goat...what is the best milk to feed them..they are only 3 days old.....please notice me?

I have 6 moms, six live kids. All six kids are nursing. The first four kids caught me by surprise, born in 5 degrees temps, and did not survive. Lessons learned. I put the 2 males out in the back 40. The mom's and kids are going to be limited to the barn and corral for a month or two. We have cyotes.

How much do we put in the bottle in the time

I would just name her Adorbs. ;) How sweet is she??

Ester

Cute as a bug! How about "patches". For the white patches on her head? Good luck with her and hope that she does okay.

Ok

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Nelly

ok i had some bottle fead goats but they died so i am so proud of you good luck

I am a bachelor, I found 2 of my new born kids shivering in the barn. Now they are in my bath tub. I am new to this.

Oh my God, she's so adorable and quiet, and she trusts so much you! Beautiful baby!

Would two week old babies be too old or hard to bottle feed?

Buttercup. She’s so cute.

How long do baby goats need to be on bottle. We bought 2 three week old goats from someone local that the momma wasnt making enough milk for them but we cant get them to take bottles
