I've been so crazy busy I never get a chance to update. I have been milking Luna once a day and have already made my first batch of "farmers cheese". It was so easy and good, I can't wait to make more cheese! I am also going to make some ice cream here soon! Luna is doing great on the milk stand and I am getting faster at milking.

I had a chance to buy another Kinder doe, it is the mom of the little doeling I bought in March! So I have 2 does and an unrelated buckling so I guess that means I have a Kinder herd! The doe is kind of bossy and set in her ways but I think she will have nice babies so I will keep her for a baby momma and see what we get. She is used to being milked so I am milking her too. She has been freshened since March. I would like to breed her this fall for another March due date.

I have converted my neighbors into goat people! They want to buy Stella my non-registered nubian and her blue eyed doeling so that is really GREAT! I get to see them all the time but don't have to pay to feed them!

What about Stella's buckling? Can you talk your neighbor into him too and have one big family together. Point out that it is good to have three... Congratulations!
Told my boer breeder if I survive the goats in winter/spring with heavy snow, I would be interested in getting couple more from her. I really would like a black dappled. I am interested in Alpine also. They just look so handsome!
My neighbor got her two nubians and will be teaching me how to milk. Maybe I'll get hooked?
So many goat to milk and to do things with the milk...you are amazing!

The neighbors don't want the buckling So I will band him here in a few weeks and either try to find him a home or he can hang out with my bucks and grow up and we may put him in the freezer. :/ I wish I had a dappled nubian or Kinder, I do love the spots! The lady I got my Kinders from has Alpines and they are really pretty goats, that is what my family had when I was a kid.

Well, Ducky and Eddie (Jazz's mom and brother) are driving my neighbor Kiersten crazy. At least Eddie is more quiet...as long as Ducky is with him. Each morning Ducky goes into the garage to be milked and Eddie just bleat and bleat and bleat. He makes funny noise...not your normal goat bleating.... Ducky is quiet during milking but bleat the rest of the DAY! Debbie said she is probably still sad about leaving the old herd. It's only been two weeks. Anyway, do nubian sound funny?? So far I haven't heard any nubian that I cam encounter with bleat the normal...blaaaaa or maaaaaa.... My two stick their tongue out and bleat Aaaaaa... or Maaaa.... like that. Ducky and Eddie don't even open their mouths!

BTW, your neighbor is so lucky to have you next door to her helping her with the goats! I wished any of you are next door to me!

If you don't have spots now...you will later.
