:lol:Baymule!!!!! Enabler, enabler -- you even give them a location!:eek:.......I milk my goat(s) and STILL want the cow.
What I really want is the top cream. Found a guy who has a Jersey, sells the milk (ssshhhh! ) and I think I'm just gonna get a couple gal from him every month or so -- to make my butter. :cool:

Steve, I don't see the problem either!! My kids sometimes "mention" I should get rid of some (something?). I quickly tell them that I own the farm, buy the feed, do the milking, collect the eggs, do the feeding, fence mending, grass mowing, bought the tractor, mower, attachments, pay my own bills and wonder why they complain when they get all the free eggs they want -- and have never paid rent for living on my farm over the years AND use MY equipment!!! Geesh.

It isn't the ANIMALS that need to go.........:hide:smack

I go thru phases of "downsizing" but, normally it's seasonal to sell off some goat kids ( don't allow horses to breed anymore) or sometimes some chickens. I'm working at raising a "few" chicks just for resale -- maybe. :lol: They are no problem for me to be selling...or the bucklings. I'm getting ready to put a sign at front "eggs for sale".

I might as well join this thread. I think my mom would like to get goats in the future and I'm interested in about them.

And what kind of cow will you be getting? I have seen ads on Craigslist for Jersey and Guernsey cows in Crockett, somebody there is raising them and selling them. I was buying raw Guernsey milk from a local dairy and it was fantastic! I would say get one if you can find one. The local dairy sells calves, you can probably find them on facebook. Waldo's Way Dairy in Mineola, Tx.

I'd love a Dexter to milk someday. For ME. I had been telling my daughter I'd think about it when I had the machine. Well,I do now LOL. Unless I happened to find one someone has been milking or bottle raised I'd probably have to bottle raise one to make sure it was tame enough to milk. I've heard that 2 gallons a day would be easy to get from one without lots of input and that would be just perfect, IMO. Right now my excuse is I'd need to fond someone local so I could get her bred to another Dexter every year.
