Do goat mom’s know which kids are theirs? A resounding yes! Will they let other kids nurse? Nope! Not unless the kids are super sneaky. Thistle’s three boys are just a couple days old so she was very intent on keeping track of them when all the kids were out this morning while their mom’s ate breakfast. She fairly politely pushed away kids that did not belong to her and kept her three close. They are beginning to hop but they are no match for the kids who are at least 2 weeks old now who almost seem like they can fly! The newborn triplets were very tired out once I finally sent the rest of the kids out to pasture with their moms!
