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

[Hens and Roos]

The last couple of days we have made progress on getting the fence put up- as of this morning just have to make the gate and we can take the goats out there!

Milking Obie has only gotten a little better- DH has been helping me and we are only milking her in the morning for right now.

I have noticed that when I milk Coco(she is also a FF) her milk is really frothy and when we milk Obie-her milk doesn't have that. Is this related to cream content or?

Here is an updated picture of Maggie(June 30th is day 150)-she's as wide as she is tall

I think that the color on your kids would be chamoisee and a broken chamoisee. Not sure about the frothy milk as I milk by machine now days and never see the milk.

I am wondering if the one is broken buckskin?

Chamoisee is what we were thinking their color is based on the one website that we were looking at and the explanations given under each color.

Thinking that the difference in the milk might be due to the rate at which they milk out- Coco milks out fast compared to Obie.

When I used to hand milk I used to get the foam sometimes but never really thouhgt about why. Now you have me curious what the difference is. HMMMM ?

I know that Rascal- our 1st kid is a broken buckskin guess he looks pretty much like his sire

Oh my word, yes, the Udderly EZ is great. I've been using it for going on 5 years now and find milking goes easier and my hands don't hurt as much. I milk Nigerian Dwarfs so I can feel your pain with the itty bitty teats. The girls don't seem to have any complaints on the milker outside of it occasionally catches a hair and pulls... but the so do my hands. Whole hearted unpaid recommendation. www.udderlyez.com for more info.

is this the one you use? Udderly EZ ™ Goat & Nigerian Goat Milker #EZ002

@animalmom - kind of a "smaller/lesser" version of the big milking machines.
Heard of this yet?
