Last week I milked Kendall for the first time, and believe me, she was a brat! She used her right hoof just as much as her left hoof to kick (usually with the other goats it's just the hoof closest to me, which is the left one). No matter how I tied her back legs she still found a way to kick successfully. She kicked the milk bucket (really the milk container, she's too short for my milk bucket - just like Penelope) once, spilling half of it's contents, but I think if she hadn't spilled it, I would've gotten about two cups.
When I milked her again yesterday and this morning, she did better, but I still had to rig up something to keep her legs out of reach of the milk container. Yesterday I got approximately 3 cups from her, about 2 cups from Penelope, and 3-3 1/2 cups from Clover. Today I got 6 cups from Kendall and Clover together.
Magnolia's udder is slowly filling, but her belly is very big. I think she'll have twins too. Pictures maybe later.
We sold Romeo today! He was the first goat we've ever sold.
Magnolia is still holding out (in, actually). She was pawing the ground (then laying down) a good bit yesterday, and we thought for sure that she would kid sometime in the night. She didn't.

Our cow, Ruby, had a beautiful heifer last night! She calved eleven days early.
