So, because he’s a baby they should ignore his herd instincts and keep him isolated for as long as possible or continue to do what they’re doing for his overall benefit and not make judgments just because he’s a cute baby 🙄🤦🏻♀️

I have to agree. Don't rush the weaning, he will do it on his own. You have pallets so build him a crib feeder. Put his food in there and the big goats can't eat Spruce 's food. You can monitor what he is eating and cut back on one bottle at a time accordingly. I would always feed a bottle the first thing in the morning.

Normally when a mother weans her babies, it is done over a period of time. Spruce does not have a natural mother so Kyle&Shannon have to perform this substitution of nature for him. If left up to Spruce, he would take a bottle for many months and never learn to drink from a bowl or container. Ask any one who is experienced with animal husbandry, babies in most cases do not wean themselves.

Have you thought about possibly installing a bottle holder and just putting his bottle in it at feeding time? I think that doing that will be very helpful. First you are creating a little distance between you and Spruce and start weaning him from you, he will gradually not see you as the food source. You can start out being right next to it the increase the distance. Also put a bowl with a bit of milk in one side and water in the other, right next to the bottle feeder. Secondly you will be able to get other things done while he is eating. Right now the world revolves around him and this will teach him to be more independent. Set it up in the pen you have for him and just leave him for a while. Of course he will throw a tantrum but all kids do at weaning time. You are great goat parents, just land the helicopter, he is growing up and doesn’t need quite as much attention, just give him space. Another idea is to maybe get some more electric fencing and put the animals and Herc in it and move it every day or two…I have no idea how expensive it is. The Eddy Family used to do that, it’s a lot of work but it’s easier to clear the land and you don’t have to stand guard. You also ought to get a donkey, goose or llama to help Herc. My favorite of the three would be a donkey…hit up Daniel Arms. I absolutely love your channel, it’s one of my favorites. I’ve subscribed to a lot of homesteading channels and don’t watch some of them often because they grow a little “arrogant” and are always promoting whatever product that hits them up which is ok but some are just not affordable for the everyday person. You guys are so down to earth and funny without having to try to be, you’re an absolute joy to watch. I am so glad that Chad gave you Spruce so I’ve been watching every video now. 💕
