We’ve raised bottle baby goats and lambs because they were rejected by their birth mothers. They are placed in a pen and fed regularly and become quite bonded with us. You have to start feeding them hay in a month so their stomachs can start to function properly. They will eat dog food if you don’t keep it away from them but the dog is usually good about policing his own dish.

Had an Aunt that was nearly killed by a former 4H project of my cousins (her children).

She spent some time in the hospital, the critter trampled her, badly. She said, once it knocked her down, it was trampling her and very difficult to get up.
Born, raised, and died many years later on the land my cousins still farm.

They later felt it was a mistake in the way they returned it to the flock after grooming it for show.

She was a very tough woman.
