Hello Nanno
RE: Bottle Raised Kids versus Nanny raised kids.
You have some good points there.
From my Equine experience I imprint on all the foals I have, and then "mess" with them often.
Yet in "Effect" they are Dam raised, and prove to be very good disposition horses.
I can see that were the same "practice" I use with horses to imprint foals should work well on goats.
Like you say bottle feeding can be a pain. I have done it with calves, it is a pain.
In my "Goat" situation here I can go visit the neighbors herd , see Jet the Goat Guard Horse and their "Flop down Scratch Me LGD's.
Watch my two favorite BIG nanny's that are "pest" personality's
Yes , I have some intresting options here.
Happy Trails
