Vet said very light worm load to recheck in April.But now there may be another issue I noticed on Wednesday that she was limping a little. I checked her hooves and it looked like they hadn't been trimmed in quite a while. So I trimmed them up and sprayed some antiseptic on them. The one she had...

I now have a Mini Nubian whose name is Toasted Marshmallow. I've been calling her Mellow cause she's so sweet and calm.

So, after a couple months of milking I've found I prefer hand milking. :/

So, after a couple months of milking I've found I prefer hand milking anyway. :/

Thank you so much for your help.

Here's some new pics. Does she look pregnant to you?

It's really not much different than a breast pump. It has a pressure release trigger as to not apply constant pressure.

I used a break bleeding hand vacuum pump. Seems to work well so far. I used it on my ND doe. You can find videos on youtube on how to make one. It was only $35.

You can see the 6CC syringe on the end. It fits nicely over her teat. That is the only thing that didn't come with the kit.

I took about half a cup of milk from my ND today, filtered it and got it ice cold. I normally buy 2% so getting adjusted to whole milk is going to be an adjustment of its own. To me it tasted like cows milk but with a bit of a bite and slight herbally taste.

It comes with all the tubing and a 120 cc cup with airtight lid. I used one of the adapters to attach a 6 cc syringes that fits over her teat. I'm on my way to work right now but will take pics tomorrow when I milk her again. There are videos on YouTube of other ppl that have made them.

I milked my first goat today! I went to auto zone and got a brake bleeding vacuum pump kit. It didn't take more that 5 psi and I didn't keep the pressure constant. It sucked her teat down a little but way less than mine did when I was using a breast pump with my daughter. It came with everything...

I have some ND does and was thinking about getting a mini Nubian to go with. Does anyone know of any breeders around the Muncie/Gaston area?

I have a white ND with blue eyes named Heavenly cause sue looks so angelic.. A buckskin named Abigail cause I love the Beatles and already have a dog named Abbey. a gold doe who I call Miss Sue cause she was already named Tiramisu when I got her. And a new baby who I'm leaning toward Cocoa cause...

So, I had my babies disbudded yesterday. I held while the pro burned. I wanted to cry and throw up at the same time. My question is what do I do for after care? She said something about picking off the scab later so new hair will grow and la200 if there is a lot of swelling. What do you do...

I use a dog crate in the back of my crossover. Last one I got was too wide to fit thru the door. So, we had to make her "suck it in". She is a thick girl. Luckily it was only about a five mile trip.

It was like when chicks have pasty butt. It's normal for their to be big globs like that?

Silly non goat people said that's probably why she was free because she was pregnant. Yeah cause who wants a registered female who is pregnant by a registered male. And who just gave birth to two doelings for free?

I've has her about three months. And she was really big then. The woman who gave her to me said she has always been fat but it was possible she may be pregnant.. Oh and they are both little girls. Still don't have pics yet. I'm a little concerned tho. When I went to check on them today they had...
