ABSOLUTELY!!! :D

Ya know, when you do all the work involved, and only get 1 or 2 cups, it can be discouraging. :th :eek:

But this morning was actually FUN!!! :celebrate
Sounds like my first time milking. Lol! Except I dumped the whole bucket of milk on accident, squirted my dad, Naomi sat on me... It wasn't too fun first time milking. I have learned since!

Girl, don't I know it!!! :th

The last time I milked, before I decided to let the kids have all the milk until I could separate them at night, I only got 2 cups --- and then Ruby put her back foot in the bucket!
:ep :barnie :th :barnie :he

That batch, of milk went into the compost pile!!! :hit

I had lots of feet in the bucket moments with my darling Lilly when I started milking. Fortunately we have pigs and chickens to take care of milk that has been goat-footed! Lol
DH has started tying the girls back legs to the milk stand, with soft ropes. That really helps! It keeps the feet apart, so I can fit the bucket under their udder, and the can't kick it now. :p

Maybe, Naomi and your goat are twins!

WooHoo - isn't it awesome when it all comes together!?!

Pretty soon you're gonna be in the same boat I'm in - floating in milk, lol. I've been making chevre, yogurt and today made cottage cheese - yum! Maybe tomorrow I'll make cajeta...maybe. Guess I need to get some more kefir grains. We do love our kefir!

Ooooh!!! I can hardly wait! :celebrate @goatgurl asked me what I was going to do with all that milk. I said, Hmmmm . . . maybe make some yogurt, and . . . oh yeah! DRINK IT! I love milk, and haven't really had a chance to drink much of our goat's milk. Once I get the craving out of my system, I want to start making Chevre, Mozzarella, and Kefir. Eventually, I want to get a cream separator & make butter & sour cream. :drool
