Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

it's currently raining here...waiting for a break in it to get the goats fed and milked....my does melt if they get rained on and we milk outside

I feel you on the milking/feeding in the rain issue... I CAN milk inside their shelter if it comes right down to it but it's very inconvenient/cramped/uncomfortable for all concerned. Before I added 10 (now 8 left) growing kids to the equation, I could feed them their grain in there as well. No where near enough room in there for feeding them in there now. They all fit inside when they want out of the rain though.

Not a fan of raw tomatoes, but those shrooms look amazing.

ours all fit inside but it would be impossible for me to milk....think lots of extra helpers

I just binge-read all 160 pages of this thread over the course of the last week. It was fascinating going through the past year's worth of kids and does! I've had goats on the brain so much this past month that I had a dream, one night, that I had 4 does but kept forgetting to milk them. One dream goat was squirting milk all over the place! Woke up, groggy, thinking, "I can't believe I slept in so late! I need to milk the goats!"

And then I remembered. I don't have any goats.

Yet. I'm working towards that dream. And rest assured, when I get'em, they WILL be milked!

Anyway, loved reading through all your goat adventures, H&R!

@Genipher that is funny! Obviously you need goats!

@Hens and Roos your goat cheese goodies look delicious.

Yep, your subconscious is working on you.

Sounds like @Hens and Roos and @Latestarter both need to build a milking room/shed.

not sure that will happen any time soon...not super high on the priority list.

I'll get an indoors milking area/milk room when I get the barn structure completed. Until then, I'm gonna have to make do. Barn is still ~1 year away. $$$ issues of course.

well extra $$$ always make things work better , time is the biggest issue for us...DH has been working 10-12 hour days and we have several units that we are getting ready for July 1st...one unit has the bathroom and kitchen completely ripped out due to being an old building with leaky pipes(had to convince the landlord that it needed to be fixed )

DD made another batch of Mozzarella cheese- we got a set of gloves that are insulated to use for working in the hot whey bath...she said they worked much better!

How cool is it that you are making cheese from your goats! Good food is much more that just good taste, good food is health.
