Hello from Ohio! I love the photo of your babies! My hubby and I plan to raise a goat or 2 when we move out to our farm. I've always wanted to make goat milk soap. Maybe you could give us some pointers!

I love your little kids, they are beautiful!
I raised two from day one when momma didn't have any milk for them - what a job, huh? I like your idea of using the bathtub, but how long before they jump over that? Maybe a baby gate a bit later on will keep them in there, but at least it is not a mess on the floor to clean up - I scrubbed daily - and fresh paper 5 times a day/ or more. But, in the end those little ones will not forget you- mine follow me all over - like pet dogs.... and I can lead them by a leash - no problem! Just lovely little creatures with their own personalities. Mine need a hug and kiss each day I go out to feed them, and they'll come running to the fence to get their hug and give me their kiss before I leave after each feeding, and then run back to their dishes to eat some more - I wind up with feed on my cheek more often than not! I don't think I could live without my goats!
