True.
I always have to try, even if it ends up being a loss anyway. I can't just watch it die...

I know, sometimes the mama goat just is silly or confused and the baby ends up being just fine bottle fed. I guess it depends. My goats are good, experienced mothers at this point, and they always take good care of their young, only 3 babies abandoned over these few years, and every time, they died no matter how hard we tried. Which makes me think that they knew something was wrong. But who knows...
