Jennie,
The best thing to do when raising an orphan foal is to get it to drink
the milk from a bucket as soon as possible. They take to this
surprisingly well and I have had many that preferred the bucket to the

Jennie I boarded a young orphan who had been taken over by a milk goat and
had done quite well and the owners added some extra milk once or twice a

Hi List,

greedily. She worried us some during the night because she was too tired to
eat or stand but now everything is A-OK. She had approximately 18 hours of

Sarah,
I think the concern was that they don't need that much grain generally, and
SWEET feed, with molasses, the extra sugar with the molasses, may be what
