How much milk are you getting from them?

Buttercup is giving 2-3 cups per milking and I just started milking Almondine again yesterday and I haven't measured it yet.

I separated Buttercup's kids from her overnight (they got a bottle evening and morning) and she milked 5 CUPS after a 12 hr fill!!!!!

I like the goat in the background of the first pic trying really hard to reach the branches!

Sharp eyes @NH homesteader! I had to make it bigger to see that and still wouldn't have had you not pointed it out.

I missed it too! Had to really look to find it.

@Green Acres Farm live all the pics, always nice to have hard working does! That the daddy is who you want it to be

I did have to chuckle at a goat living in Florida wearing a sweater!

So how the heck did your boy loose a leg?!

It has actually been really cold the last few days - down to the 40s!

Prince Charming got his leg pretty much chewed off after a dog attack. Muscles chewed away in chunks from his hoof to his thigh. The vet was surprised he didn't bleed to death with a big artery where he got chewed and unbelievably was able to amputate it. He lost all his weight for awhile after surgery, but is doing great now and filling out. I can't catch him if he doesn't want to be caught! We weren't sure if he would be able to breed, but we know he was the sire of an accidental breeding and hopefully Almondine's kid. He needs to contribute to his huge vet bill.
