Response to (Goat kids) Triplets! Now what?

My family has been raising goats for many years now, and has had some encounters ourselves with triplets. We usually bottle feed all our kids, because we find it makes them freindlier and easier to handle. Although, we don't leave the kids with their mothers, it is entirely possible to leave all three with their mother, although they won't get as much milk that way. Leaving two with the mother and bottle feeding the other with replacer will make the bottle fed ones more healthy due to the natural milk. It will as a result make things harder to manage. I highly recomend going either way but keeping all three together if possible. Hope I Helped, MollyR.
