Don't judge me.. but I want more

It's nice when a Boer has enough milk to share, especially a first timer. I wonder how long the lactation will be...can they go the distance?

Lilly has a HUGE udder ... almost made me want to keep her cute kid...

But she's got a third nipple. So off to the market her kids go. I'll add her genes to the freezer pool.

I love her to much to sell her.

That justifies me buying another doe without telling the husband, right?

Well.... the goats bought another goat.

@Ferguson K What kind of goat is Lilly? And Boer in the genes?

She's a commercial Boer from registered stock.

@Ferguson K You do know that multiple teats are allowed as long as they aren't a fishtail? I have seen does with 3 on each side, very very common and acceptable.

@babsbag

I have only ever shown wethers in Boer. Lilly is a permanent fixture here, but, I'll likely not be keeping her doeling.

That would not be a fault so sell her for breeding and not auction, you might get more money.

Agreed, @babsbag when can I come frolic on the farm



I don't need that much milk. I don't know if I even like it

Try it, you'll like it! Actually you'll probably never want to drink milk from the grocery store again.

babs - what is the fishtail in reference to teats that you mentioned. I'm assuming the 3rd teat would be split?

And this is another reason why I'm never on. Can only get on at work. Have been slipping on early before anyone arrives but I had to do a quick check in today. This thread has me struggling to keep from and makes it very hard to maintain the illusion of working.
Peeing on beard. I was holding our week old babies yesterday and (because it's already firmly established, no question, that we're keeping both of them) and commented to hubby that it's hard to imagine the little 5 pound cuddle grown and peeing on his beard.

And on that train if thought, our mid-20's single son had a bottle of some very expensive cologne. (Very expensive apparently = very smelly.) He kept asking his dad if he wanted some and my husband kept saying no. Finally he just sprayed him anyway and it soaked into his jacket. We had to drop son off at a friend's house so the car was filled with men reeking of "very expensive" cologne. As soon as we got him out of the car my hubby said "I've got to get home and get out of this jacket. I feel like Max smells when he's peed on his beard."
