My poor husband....thank goodness he's the tolerant sort, eh?

Do you milk the goats to bring in a pay check in order to feed everyone? That's quite a crew of critters!

We milk the ones worth milking, even some of the boers, though I've found they have a much shorter lactation. What the bottle babies don't consume I make cheese, ice cream, fudge, and Coconut cream pie with.
I also work at a TSC so I can get the discounts, and try to barter for what I can (hay, etc.).

Even with the discounts and bartering that's a big crew to feed. I'm glad you are able to as it sounds like a lot of rescues! :thumbsup
