A goat is a great idea. Just when you think you have all the animals you want... right? Hope that it went well with locking them in together. Stay warm.

Congratulations! How is Valentine doing?

She's doing great and growing like a weed! She eats 2 gallons of milk a day right now... And we've had to go back to milking Daisy twice a day (we were doing only once), and still end up with only about a half gallon for the 6 of us.

Wow! 2 GALLONS?! Thats a lot of milk.
Sounds like everyone must fight over the milk in your house!

lol Yeah... And when we all thought we were never going to consider a goat...

Actually we didn't lock them in. Taffy got upset when we tried it, so we just decided to risk letting her stay out. She's still here and very happy. It was the steer who broke the fence... bad boy...

You can say that again! We barely have enough... It seems since we got her we haven't even had a glass of milk with cookies... Thinking about starting her either with milk replacer ($$$... :/) or the folks we got her from said they start their calves on grain at 2 weeks old... That's a bit young in my opinion... Maybe Calf Mana though.

They are so great to have! They are like a dog. I miss mine. Happy to hear that all went well with letting her stay out. Sorry to hear about the fence. Bad boy indeed.
