I feel you on the milking/feeding in the rain issue... I CAN milk inside their shelter if it comes right down to it but it's very inconvenient/cramped/uncomfortable for all concerned. Before I added 10 (now 8 left) growing kids to the equation, I could feed them their grain in there as well. No where near enough room in there for feeding them in there now. They all fit inside when they want out of the rain though.

Not a fan of raw tomatoes, but those shrooms look amazing. :drool:celebrate

I just binge-read all 160 pages of this thread over the course of the last week. It was fascinating going through the past year's worth of kids and does! I've had goats on the brain so much this past month that I had a dream, one night, that I had 4 does but kept forgetting to milk them. One dream goat was squirting milk all over the place! Woke up, groggy, thinking, "I can't believe I slept in so late! I need to milk the goats!"

And then I remembered. I don't have any goats. :lol:

Yet. I'm working towards that dream. And rest assured, when I get'em, they WILL be milked!

Anyway, loved reading through all your goat adventures, H&R!

well extra $$$ always make things work better :D, time is the biggest issue for us...DH has been working 10-12 hour days and we have several units that we are getting ready for July 1st...one unit has the bathroom and kitchen completely ripped out due to being an old building with leaky pipes(had to convince the landlord that it needed to be fixed :rolleyes:)

DD made another batch of Mozzarella cheese- we got a set of gloves that are insulated to use for working in the hot whey bath...she said they worked much better!
