Response to lambs?

Patty, try to get them as young as you can. Do you keep extra goat colostrum? That is how we raise any young stock (we are the ones the game wardens call when there is a young deer found in the woods) we raise these babies on colostrum, trying to get at least 16 ounces down them. We then use our goats milk, which I will supplement with Purina Kid Goat milk replacer (the only one we use). 3 bottles, 16 ounces 3 times a day. Use your goat knowledge, and get Pipestones Catalog pipevet.com.. Don't forget to immediatly start using a cocidia prevention the day you get them, Corid or something, syringe in mouth don't put in bottle, to make sure they get it all. (Worming too! These guys are going to be severly stressed). I am a firm believer in vacinating, it is just too inexpensive to not use this prevention, especially Tetanus..Good luck, Vicki McGaugh
