@Southern by choice I was told not to freeze my sample of milk. Doesn't mean it was right but that is what CAFHS told me.

I will be getting the vials in the mail with instructions. This isn't our normal test stuff. Rollins said to just keep cold if we are dropping it off. IDK
Dairy One is the one that said to freeze. Hmmm I will have to wait til the instructions come. Maybe I got something mixed up.

Maybe it depends on how long you have to hold it before shipping. I just used a red top tube and did a clean catch and shipped it off the next day. I clean the teat with alcohol and just aim a squirt for that 1/2" opening. LOL.

@Wehner Homestead We mostly clipped Mariah down, we still have feet, legs (bottom) and udder do but wanted to get a few pics of her. We clipped her with a 10 so she can grow out a bit and be nice and shiny! 
We can't get a full udder pic as there isn't any light at pm milking. So here she has a few hours to go, but it's the best we could do. She was being sos so about pics because she thought she was going to get milked and all she wanted to do was run to the stand.
Thought you might want to see how Cece's momma is looking.

Funny story.
A while back I had someone that saw pics of some of my goats on FB. The person sent a message, we messaged back and forth a bit. I wasn't even advertising.
Person wants a colorful, registered, blue eyed buck.
Doesn't want to milk, show, LA, milktest, etc.
Wants the buck to wear a buck apron and live with the does.
Um... NO WAY! Not sending my goat to that environment.
Well this person was livid that I wouldn't sell them a buck.
She was almost stalking me on FB and messaging me constantly, not understanding why I cared so much because "bucks don't make milk!".
I didn't ask, but why do you breed dairy goats if you don't milk them?
Unfortunately there are Nigerian Dwarf goat "mills".
Sorry but I want my goats to go were they will be used as they are bred to do.
Not someone pumping out colorful kids for the $.
Apparently this person has a deposit on a polled, blue eyed, flashy buck.
The person is already listed him on FB because she "changed" plans so is going to flip him rather then forfeit the deposit.... So she will pick the goat up from the breeder, and re-sell him immediately.
Yeah. This is why I didn't sell to you
ETA: I was always very kind and nice. I deserve a pat on the back LOL

LOL thanks.
This person was a real riot. Constant messages and kept trying to convince me that I was being unreasonable.
