I pulled my 4 kids off theirs moms a month and a half ago to wean them. They were in my spare stall in my horse barn. I now need that stall so I brought them back up to the goat pen (they are 4 months old) - I suspected that one of my does would let her kids nurse again but it isn't too big a deal because she doesn't really like being milked and due to past poor management from a previous owner she is not a really big milker, however both does are letting their kids nurse - when I milked tonight I got about 1 tablespoon from my good milker and nothing from the other doe... Grrrrr...
Someone on here mentioned taping the does teats to keep the kids from nursing. Can someone explain how to do it? What kind of tape do you use? Is there a risk of the kids pulling the tape off and swallowing it? Does it bother the does? Pictures please?
