Life kinda got crazy so I haven’t milked Lillie since she was 10 days fresh. She is now 4 weeks fresh and her milk has doubled. At 10 days she gave 1.5cups with a 12 hour fill today she gave 3 cups with a 12 hour fill
I have a feeling I’m really going to enjoy it, especially with ff does.
The instructions had said to set it at 12hg but I will definitely be trying it lower next time
Thank you! @frustratedearthmother
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
I didn’t use the easy milker, I used a simple pulse machine. It’s a pain in the butt to hook up the hoses to the machine(just needs “broken in”) and she squatted so I had to hold the inflations but yes it was fast. Took from hook up to done about 6 mins with about 5 mins of cleaning the...
Thank you! So excited to see her doeling from last year freshen! Trying to decide on when I want a bunch of first fresheners lol (I have 4 that I’m wanting to breed that haven’t kidded before) do I want fall/early winter kids or wait for spring kids...hmm... lol
Thank you! It’s really weird, when Lillie was pregnant with them I only felt them move a handful of times maybe because she was full to capacity? Lol
Yeah Lillie used to be really stand offish but isn't to bad now.
I actually got a deposit on Lillie’s doeling yesterday (pick up end of May)...
Little guys temp went to 101.5 and he was a HUNGRY little guy so out to his mom he went! We are keeping an eye on all 3 to make sure they stay warmbuckbuck

Thanks! One of the little buckling is shivering and his temp is only 99.7 I’ve asked a few of my goat raising friend on what to do besides bringing him in and setting him on a heating pad. He seems healthy otherwise!
On a side note, I think Bella is definitely bred(haven’t had a chance to pull...
She had quads! First set born here, unfortunately one doeling was doa so the count is 2 bucks one doe.
Get this 2 buckskins(the bucks) and 2 red (does)
Photos to come!
So it is looking like she will kid today! You can tell where she “lost” her ligs just by looking(photo included) she is Super needy(if I’m not petting her she is screaming) and SUPER talkative
If she kids today it will be on the coolest day from last week and this coming week...yesterday’s high (along with most of the week) was 80*+... today’s high is 57 and rainy
Sitting out here with her now(2nd check of the morning), I can NOT feel her ligs but to me it doesn’t look like she has dropped(?) there is no discharge for her and she is acting normal...
Is it possible for her to not appear to drop IF she has a lot of kids in there?her leg was farther back in...
