Baby goat weighs only ONE POUND! // Homesteading

Milk Dud the 1 lb baby Goat is a sassy girl. It was a banner week here on the homestead with kidding and lambing season kicking off with three doe kids being born to our Nigerian Dwarf goat Brenda Lee. One of the babies was especially tiny, weighing in under a pound at birth, and needed a lot of TLC to keep her thriving. Little Milk Dud is a fighter to say the least, and if she doesn't start growing soon, she might just be the world's smallest goat! If you like watching cute baby goats jumping and playing around the farm, stay tuned because this spring promises to be marked by all kinds of animal BABY FEVER, my milk cow Reba Milkentire is about to calf, we are expecting about 100 baby chicks, and we are bottle feeding the bummer lambs for Zack and his chew crew as well.

Hello

You never forget the little ones you save. Been a long time since I was raising pigs, I still remember them.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

They really do leave an impact. I've got another bottle baby this year and she is such a joy.

Milk Dud is just so darned cute. Fingers are crossed!

Milk Dud is so Cute. So glad she is doing so well. Glad their all doing well but especially Milk Dud. Congratulations on New Life on your New Farm. Can't wait to meet your Milk Cow and her Calf. You'll Love Bottle Feeding Lambs. They are so soft and cuddly. Peace Be With You ☮️

[@joelegrand5903]

This kind of thing is a life lessen, that you can not understand unless you live it. Watch & read about it is 2nd best, but not the understanding that losing sleep will teach you. Being raised on a farm & having children did so much to deepen the depth of my life & soul. If it had not happened, I would never have known what I missed. Thanks for sharing.

So cute to see what the milk duds prints where inspired by. She is so teeny and gorgeous! 💜 They all are!

Hi Anne, I live in a small village in the UK, my daughter helps out on a farm, mostly horses, but one year the owner decided she would try lambs. She got twelve sheep in kid, and they gave birth, but for some reason, the sheep all decided not to suckle their offspring so Donna (my daughter) phoned her mam, and she went off to help bottle-feed. The owner decided that she would put the lambs out in the field and if the mothers still would not feed them, nature would take over. As my wife had spent two days bottle feeding every two hours she said that it wasn't going to happen. I got up the next morning to find a lamb in a dog cage in the front room, we brought the lamb up with our two dogs, and she grew up like a dog. She was house-trained and went for walks with us and the dogs, but she was frightened by sheep! and wouldn't go near them she had a long and happy life, but she would eat my shoelaces every time she had a chance to get near my shoes. I bought a pair of slip-on shoes and you could see her trying to figure out where the laces were, it was hilarious. Our house was often the nursery for all sorts of animals but our sheep (Molly) has been the most entertaining and funny animal to date. People say that sheep are dumb animals, but it just goes to show that if they are given a chance they are as clever as any other animal, it is just that they are shoved into a field and have nothing to simulate their intelligence.

I don't know if you follow The Hairy Farmpit Girls on Facebook, but it's two women in Georgia who run a goat farm and make soap from the milk. The sagas from this past year regarding the breeding and kidding seasons were absolutely hilarious. The names they use are also wonderful, like Vincent van Goat and Baaathsheba.

Great looking goat

[@tgrif04]

Grew up on a dairy farm and raised chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigs, cats, dogs and horses. . we called the littlest of the litters the "runt". Mom would take it to the house and hand feed it until it was strong enough to stand on its own.
