Hi Cynthia Good for you--and goats are about the easiest animals to care for I've ever had. Be sure to vaccinate the baby goat against tetanus as soon as it's born. Make sure the baby/babies nurse as soon as they can. The first milk is full of colostrum, and it's essential. There's a lot of good goat info out there--let me know if you can't find any. The baby goats will become very tame if you bottle feed them--and it's great fun!
I'm also lactose-intolerant, and I find I can drink goat milk without the bellyache--although I do still get some gas sometimes. I can't drink cow's milk without being miserable.
Have you tried getting the information you need from the state university Extension Agent? They are usually wonderful... Best of luck to you in getting your education--look into financial aid!!!!
I went back to school when Annie was eligible to enroll in the community college's pre-school. Do not worry about how old you are--I went back to school when Annie was old enough to attend the college's pre-school. After the first day, I pulled out a few (then!) grey hairs... but I went back on the second day! |
