A word for all you new goat parents

That's a lambar. Has nipples that attach to tubes on the inside that go down to the bottom of the bucket. Feeds up to ten kids (or however many nipples it has and however big it is...they come in different shapes and sizes) and they suck it out like through straws. I got one last year and thought it was the greatest thing ever invented! No more knocking plastic bottles out of your hands, or arguing over who gets fed first (one person can only hold so many bottles at a time, you know). With the lambar, heat up the milk, dump it in the bucket and get out of the way!! If you don't have the handy-dandy stand like is pictured here, you'll have to hang onto the bucket so they don't knock it over, though. We used a small-ish tire and plunked the bucket inside the tire itself to hold it steady.

That is really cool!!

What she said! Lambars are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
