I took a pic of Falina on the milk stand this morning. It is so cute the way she has her tongue sticking out.

While I was milking Falina, DH got this shot of Ruby waiting for her turn on the stand. She's curled up on the ground watching us.

Always nice when your animals are cooperative!

 

[Devonviolet]

Yes! That's for sure! These girls are so easy to work with! They make it a real joy to spend time with them!

Hey @goatgurl! Look at how cute your Falina is looking these days!!!

How much longer before ya start drying them off?

 

[Baymule]

Are you going to dry them off or just keep milking them?

 

[Bruce]

Can't make cheese if you dry them off!

How much longer before ya start drying them off?

Since I never freshened a goat before, I didn't know. So I looked online & got several answers. But the consensus seems to be that you dry them off two months before they are due.

I have found someone, with a safe/clean farm, that will bring a buck, when they are in heat. So, I'm going to start watching for signs of heat.

Unless someone tells me I should dry off sooner, rather than later, I will keep milking in till 2 month before the due date.

From what I read on here, they scream bloody murder, so maybe it won't be so hard to tell.
