About 15 yrs ago, then I sold them because I went through a divorce and everyone thought it was not a good thing. Maybe at that time, it was a good thing, they needed more than just feed and water. But it didn't take long, life is not life without goats--when I moved into my little mobile home, we were fixing it up and my brother airbrushed a Nubian goat on my cupboard doors so I could look at goats even if they weren't real. LOL So I guess I have had real goats for about 13 or 14 yrs. I didn't know anything about milking when I started, but jumped in full force and for a few years milked at least 12 goats year around. Now we are breeding for year around milking again, but now I have help Milking year around 2 times a day is a real commitment. We are going to stay at about 10 to 12 milkers, no more than 15. We pull kids so that is more commitment. Next to my grandchildren, my goats are my life --my children are all old enough to do their own thing. .
