Had
a baby goat born to a Nubian goat I bought a few months ago. I am not sure the little guy is going to
make it, he is extremely weak, and I could not even get him to stand. I
milked his mother for some colostrum; it was quite a struggle. With the help of a bucket of food and my
husband Michael, I was able to get 1 oz. to feed him.
Try as I may I could get him to take no more than a few mouthfuls. He is sleeping out with his mother right
now. It makes me sad to think we might lose
such a cute baby. That is the sad part of life on a farm; it is always a battle
of life and death.
His
mother seems lost on what is happening, she still has not passed the after birth,
but I am keeping a close eye on them both.
I wish now I had sold her before the baby was born, but it is what it
is. I blessed him, and if he lives he will
be given to a poor family.
I
will post any changes as they take place.
Be
Blessed
