New goat owners

[karykim]

We are new goat owners. We have a lamancha doe named cupcake. We have a mom and daughter duo of toggs. We will be picking up a trio of toggs on Monday. The girls we get Monday are due to kid in March. So any advice on kidding and milking would be appreciated. Do you transfer the milk from the bucket to something else when you carry it to the house? Where do you get milking supplies? Do you have to teat dip? Any advice from experienced milk maids would be great.

Just be advised that tog milk is best for cheese making, and may be a bit more tangy than other breeds if you want to drink it straight. Your LaMancha milk should taste much better!
