Bottle Rack

Bottle feeding three hungry kids with only two hands. . . . Drop a bottle. Kids tug so HARD at the nipples! Drop two bottles. Scoop 'em up. Drop ALL THREE bottles. Pick 'em up, wipe 'em off, continue to feed. All the while, fending off nibbles and nuzzles and jump-on-moms from all the other goats, each vying for individual attention. What a job! Fun, but can make a person a little bit whacky.

Yesterday I received the four-bottle rack I'd ordered on Weds. Used it for the first time yesterday AM. Snap in three bottles, close rack, hold rack over the gate. Kids suck & bump. Bottles stay IN PLACE. No mutilation of the nursemaid from all the other goaties. THAT THING IS THE BOMB.

Now I wish I'd gotten one a long time ago.

If you got the one from Hoegger supply, it is great I have had mine for 3-4 years and don't know what I would do without it! Now it will be a pleasure to feed the kids without getting mould!

Yep! That's the one, JR. It was a little spendy, but well worth it.
