OK, so the time came to separate my two kids as we had a doe and a buck. Poor Michael - now to live his lonely, lonely life as a buck. But that is another tale....

So, Sarah is 5 months old. Bottle fed; long weaned. We put her in the paddock with her mother, Pricilla whom we are milking and her sister Abigail. Abigail is Pricilla's from her last litter (is litter correct?) So after about two weeks in Sarah starts nursing again. This is not good for our milking....I have no earthly clue why. She is well fed. Has plenty of hay and gets some grain twice a day. Plus apples and carrots as "goat treat." Did I mention I spoil my goats?

They are very scheduled as to when they go into and out of the barn for milking, etc.

Abigail is not very fond of Sarah. We have bred Abigail and hope she is pregnant. She is a year old.

We bought an udder harness from Hoeger's for Pricilla to try and keep Sarah from nursing.

Any other suggestions? And any ideas why this is happening?

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all!
Thank you!
