Giving Billy Shakespeare a Bottle

I got Billy Shakespeare 3 days before he was 1 month old.  The breeder had been giving him a 16 ounce bottle twice a day.  I bottle feed the girls 3 times a day.  It is probably better to do it 3 times.  Before long Shakespeare was drinking 20 ounces. The breeder said she bottle feeds her goats until they are 8 weeks. But I have read that 12 weeks is better. Besides I like bottle feeding them and think it's better for bonding.  This week and next week will be his last bottle feedings, because next week he will be 12 weeks old.  He is eating hay and goat pellets well.  He is only getting 22 ounces once a day.  Kennedy has been helping with the feeding.

  1. She did good! I can't believe she stayed focused as long as she did! She is just like you! :-)I hope you are making her a video journal with all of these videos! What a great gift that would be for when she has children one day!
