Next time I say I had a bowl of Cap'n Crunch, y'all are gonna be giving me grief asking if I ate my baby goatie girl...

Ah, but won't it be fun in a year or so when you are milking her to say that you had Cap'n Crunch on your Cap'n Crunch??

I gotta say, my taste for such super sweet cereals waned years ago.

OK... got milk? yup! This morning I milked Dot out almost completely... Like maybe 85-90%.

I'm sure I could have squeezed out a little more but she was indicating that she had had enough and it was time for breakfast. (I grain them all after milking) I'm pretty sure I could have filled the pint jar if I'd wanted to. So that means she's doing (or can do) just about 3 quarts a day. Her teats and orifices are really good. Her udder is soft like a leather glove. She now just stands there chewing cud while I milk. What a good doe!

I haven't had any myself yet as I haven't really collected enough extra above what Crunchy is drinking. Hope fully I can sample some of this take. She now drinks about 16-18oz each feeding. She drank 3 times yesterday but only took about 10-12 oz at lunch. She's up and moving/exploring about 50% of the time. The rest she's sleeping and trying to hide from Dot who constantly paws at her to get her up and moving. Dot has been a really good mom so far. Went to take more pics but the camera disk was full. I've now emptied it and will try again a little later.

I'm with you Bruce! Sweet cereals just don't appeal to me. In fact, even syrup on pancakes doesn't appeal - especially knowing how hungry & awful I will feel about an hour later. Beside, I'd much rather have salty than sweet any day!

I happen to know that LS has a penchant for both salty & sweet!

Way to go LS!! I know you can't wait to start drinking that milk yourself. That was the plan wasn't it? Sounds to me that you are becoming a real FARMER!

Yes, way to go, LS!!! That's awesome!!! Sorry, I got distracted by Bruce's comment about Captain Crunch cereal.

Actually waiting, to drink your girl's milk, may not be such bad thing. From what I understand, the first month, or so of milk, still has colostrum in it, and that can give it a bit of an off taste. I kept spooning a tablespoon into a cup, and tasting it, until it tasted sweet and creamy. For my two girls it was about 3-1/2 or 4 weeks.

Sounds like ya just gonna have to get a phone...if for nothing but a camera-in-the-pocket....

My cell phone is old fashioned and doesn't even take pictures.

 

[Baymule]

Get an I-Phone, they're nice!

Teresa has a smart phone. When I worked I worked in a classified space and we weren't allowed to have anything wireless in there so the basic phone is all I needed. Now I'm getting to where I don't need a phone of any kind.

@Latestarter Congratulations on the increase in yield.
