Yes, them being used to milking will help a lot!
We have a bottlefed Nubian 8 week old, so we’re hoping she’ll be easy to milk. I need to read up on how to get them to be calm in the milk stand.
It’s raining here. Happy for the rain. It seems like it’s been way less humid here compared to...
I know some people milk Nigerian Dwarfs by hand but after milking a Nubian by hand I will never milk a ND by hand. I will get a milker for that 😂
I recently sold a Nigerian Dwarf in milk and warned that her teets were pretty tiny and that I recommended a milker. I figured they had one since...
My oldest dog is still pretty young, 8 years old. But he’s a strictly outside dog, like my other two. so I doubt I’ll notice when he can’t control his bladder. But I hope he ages gracefully. I don’t think I’d be able to put him down due to old age. But with inside dogs I can see how someone...
We have a mix of a lot of goats.
We’re trying to move toward mostly Nubians since we like goat meat and goat milk (well I do anyway).

In total I have 11 females and 11 males. But a lot of the males will be...
Is the dog sick or just old?
My husband’s Nana put down her 14+ year old chihuahua since he was just peeing and pooping with zero bladder control inside the house and had a limp leg and was just falling apart. He was spoiled rotten and lived an awesome life compared to most dogs.
Made cottage cheese with 2 month old gallon of goat milk and some expired buttermilk. It was for the dogs. I didn’t dare try it 😂
I’m saving the whey to portion out for the dogs for the next 5 days to a week. I really wish my hubby hadn’t let our Nubian go dry. But hopefully she got...
Here’s my wedding ring. My hubby’s nana gave it to me. It was her first wedding band and engagement ring when they were poor and could only afford this. She now has a fancier one. It now only fits my pinky when before kids it fit on my ring finger. Maybe if I lose these 50 lbs I’ll be able...
I’ll go look for some rings now. I don’t wear a wedding ring since pregnancy made my fingers too fat. I went from a size 4 ring size to a size 6 I think. It’s an heirloom so I don’t want to resize it since I didn’t have to resize it when I received it.
gonna catch up on the thread then take a...
