[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4713616, member: 348"] The mention of goats reminds me.... a Dutch friend once told me that he kept a small flock of pigmy goats to rear his cades. Apparently they just carry on milking, and will let all and sundry suckle. IIRC he was keeping a load of them in a pen, then just dropping the cades in once they’d learnt how to suckle a ewe. Certainly a cheaper option than milk machines & powder, if it works as reliably as he said. I did look into it once, but was put off by the difficulty sourcing CAE free goats, which could apparently spread mv quite well, or at least fail the blood test for mv. [/QUOTE]
