Mother Refuses To Take Care Of Her Baby Boy!! We’re Going To Have To Save The Baby!!

[@davilynwentzel9551]

Thoughts from an experienced goat shepherdess: No matter who the mother is, the MOST important thing is to get some colostrum into the baby within two hours in order to prevent possible complications. Sooner, the better, as long as the kids temperature is normal. Colostrum provides essential stuff needed to live the first few months. Since you can’t find the afterbirth, and you were not present to see the birth, maybe another goat licked the little rejected kid off while Momma G was kidding baby 2. Once another doe licks the scent of the real momma’s birthing fluids off the kid, the momma will reject the kid. That’s the main reason that having limited number of goats together in one area is so important. We never had more than 10 does per penned area. Some mommas love stealing babies. Do you dogs clean up or lick off the newborns? 14:19 sometimes momma goats do not have much of a bag when they labor and deliver deliver. Even if a doe had numerous pregnancies and birthed multiples; their next pregnancies could be different; especially as the doe ages, birthing one kid is typical. One more. Even if a goat or sheep rejects their newborn, that’s rarely because the momma thinks there’s something physically wrong with her newborn. I hope this can help you. Just don’t ask me anything about chickens. I haven’t a clue on raising chickens.

I think you need more feeding troughs😊

[@paulbrown3391]

Guys put straw in the barn and let the babies and mom's go in to keep warm

[@vickispiers5813]

It looks like you need more feeding troughs for all those goats. Some can't get up to the food.

[@freddierose]

They are aware, they are saving up for more. FYI-they can be expensive.😊

@2:34 poor baby goat getting attacked by another big goat. So sad😢

[@maegardnermills4292]

Congratulations on having a thriving farm. You both are so loving to your animals.

[@kimvaverek]

The goat you thought was moma just head butted that tiny baby right when you walked away to go in the pen. It's right at the beginning of your video 😢

[@Flower3394]

No sucking reflex means the baby is too cold. You need to warm him up before you feed him. Im sure baby goats is simular to lambs. I watch Sandi Brock up in ontario canada. She has a routine for her lambs. Its so sad when mama rejects their babies. It goes for all animals. How can a mama reject a cute baby. 😢 Sleeperdude has goats foo. And granny had her baby. They chose to feed her baby with a bottle because of grannys age. They slapped a diaper on it and brought the baby inside. Its the sweetest thing.

You should never walk away from an unclaimed baby, it's dangerous for the baby goat to be left.

[@joycedellinger2528]

Praying for the baby goat's survival. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents had a few goats and sometimes the mama rejected one. It was bottle fed until it got older, and I got to help feed it. I've bottle-fed goats, calves, lambs, baby rabbits, and puppies.

The baby can't suckle when it's cold...

One goat was hitting the baby, did you see that? :(

[@MaryWimsatt]

Congrats! So cute!

[@wandakranz997]

Happy to hear your family had a nice Christmas. I still can't understand why kids need a tv in every room. My son-in-law did the same thing. They spend way too much time with their phones and tablets. I wish kids their time outside. It's so wonderful that your kids help out on the farm.

[@sherrysmith9820]

Hello Stephanie it's great seeing you can't wait to see the new baby's

I agree that little baby needs warmth and colostrum right now or it won't survive plz help that little baby the mama is not going to accept it

[@julieobee3229]

You should probably get some bottles and milk for just in case of any rejection. You’re aware of birthing times of the goats.

[@tonyaboyd2856]

Aww such sweet babies. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathywifall6844]

The babies are beautiful. Sad how Mama G will not accept the little black baby. Farm life. Good luck with taking care of the littles.

[@carriemarshall6635]

If there temp drops, they will not drink much. Check their temp and try and get it back up. Then check and see if it's sucking power has started more

[@Sshellyd]

Y'all either need less goats or another feeder or move it away from the fence so they can go around it? Haha what a problem to have, no problem at all!! There's nothing cuter than baby goats!! Y'all sure have learned and taught a lot!!

[@nancywalders6038]

He seems smaller than the female. If he has nursed already, it could just be that he’s cold and too small to keep up with his mama and the other baby. It’s probably more important to get him warm right away so he doesn’t end up with pneumonia. Just my opinion. The first few hours after they’re born can be pretty important in determining whether they’ll live or die.

Is it not better to go and get goat baby formula!!! So you have it on hand!!! Why do you put hay in the kids kidding barn right now and puts the warming lights on!!! Do not delay!!! Please ❤❤❤❤❤

[@connieshea388]

They wait to give mama and baby chance to bond.

[@marlamork7350]

You didn’t watch the video because…. Brandon just said They have formula at the house The office area in the house they can put shavings down so the babies can stay warm He’s going to Tractor Supply for shavings for the goat barn And then he will bring the heat lamps and get them up hanging

[@pamskyland4444]

That baby has no chance in the rain of warming up. Which is the reason it doesn’t have good sucking reflexes right now. It needs to get warm and nurse now to have a chance. Why r u weighting and it’s raining. Asking for trouble to weight. U want out of the rain what do u think about that baby. ❤

[@jeanettec6212]

Are you sure that one with the brown spot isnt that goats with the white and black that keeps following it? It looks just like it. I dont think its mamma g’s. I noticed she wouldnt even come to eat because she wouldnt leave it.

if it body temp is down it wont suckel to it warms up

I think the same as the others. If the baby doesn't have a sucking reflex it needs warming up. Also u really shouldn't have left it, the big goats could kill it. I also watch Sandi Brock a lot. Xx
