Goat Advice

[2doordad]

Nutshell-I used my brothers buck to breed my dairy goat. He wanted the kid if it was a doe. that was fine i really didn't want another goat, so. Fast forward we had twins (does, yea) and they will be two weeks old on Monday. He is coming tomorrow to get his doe and I want to be able to give him the best info to keep her heathly. They of course are going to bottle feed it out and they have goats, but I still would like to give him some info on how often to feed her, etc.

CaliannG sent me this:

0-2 weeks- 4 bottles a day minimum, however much they will drink at a time.
2-4 weeks-- 3 bottles a day, mine drank about 16-20 ounces at a time.
1 month - 2-months -- 2 bottles a day.
2-months onward-- 1 bottle a day.
