She had trouble last year and with the trouble ihav ehad this year with others I am getting nervous as she gets bigger and bigger! She just keeps plodding along!!!<BR/> I usually let moms raise their babies But this year I pulled the set of triplets just born and am going to milk mom and bottle feed babies.. I thought I woul dsee if it helped mom with her condition. She tends to put everything into the bucket and babies and gets skin and bones!! SO we will see! Its good practice for my girls to help with the bottle babies too!

Sleep is a good thing!<BR/><BR/>Shellmo - Their mom nurses them as long as they want, or until she gets sick of them. If they were bottle fed they'd be weaned at 2 to 3 months, depending on how well they're eating other foods, but mom will let them nurse a little longer. We'll dry her up ourselves to give her a 2 to 3 month rest before she kids again in the spring.Sandy@American Way Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386748022630293500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079241958848206339.post-89976878253207352892009-02-12T11:23:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:23:00.000-05:00Oh, they are so adorable!!!I just love baby animal...Oh, they are so adorable!!!<BR/>I just love baby animals.<BR/>Life is just amazing.

I try to milk early morning then let the kids have the milk all day and then I get a little milk in the evening. I think kids grow better nursing their mom.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467921308987979013noreply@blogger.com
