So I finally talked DH into getting goats...

Not a problem! And it's a slow process, still alot of figuring out to do!

Ok, I think I know what breed I'm getting; nigerians. I have 3 breeders somewhat local to very local and a friend who has goats just informed me the other day he has a good registered nigi buck and said I could use him whenever I wanted. Now all I have to do is build my structure and a fence! Yay! So excited!!

Cool! There are a lot of Nigis down here in CT so probably up by you too!
I'm going to meet some Nubians, hopefully next week!

OK, I admit that I have never milked a Nigerian.....however, I am currently working with a first-freshener with itty-bitties and all I can say is...



And she is a perfect little angel on the stand....

I use the Udderly EZ Milker on my nigerians. I have big hands and wrist problems, and Ness is good on the stand to an extent, and if I'm not done by the time she's ready I better hurry it up, so the milker is a life saver! It comes with 2 sizes to get the best fit for the teat. I do know gals that hand milk their nigis though so it can be done.
