So I just milked my nigerian goat for the first time. She put up a huge fight but I ended up getting about 5 oz of milk. I probably would have gotten more but one of her babies got out and got to her first. After I milked I went inside and strained it through one of those wire mesh coffee...

I just bought two Nigerian Dwarf does yesterday. The woman I bought them from claims that they should be bred. If they are, they should be due June 5 and the 18th.
