Y'all can call them nannies. I'm a purist: I say ewes for sheep and
does for goats.

We also had a couple of "nurse" nannies
that were Sanaans and we would leave them with the kids during the night in
a separate barn. Seemed to keep the kids quiet. We milked mornings and
then turned the does out with the kids and separated them at night. The
only ones we took the kids off of were the kidlets show does.
