She sucked down nearly a half bucket of molasses water. As of a few hrs ago kids hadn't found teats.
Syringed colostrum down them, going out to check in a few.
Had to get a kid out from under her twice already the numbskull.
Congratulations on an early Christmas surprise. I had a doeling kid born one year that I had to feed with a syringe for a bit. She just seemed to not be able to get the idea about the teat...... but she did figure it out eventually, thank goodness. All the best.
