Yesterday, we began our goat milking program with Sarah Lee, a Pygmy/ND mixed doe who weaned her doeling, Betty, on Friday. I wasn't planning to milk her when I bought her, but she has a very nice udder with good attachments and decently sized teats. She has, obviously, never been milked and hasn't been the most cooperative subject, but it's getting better. In three milkings, we've gotten 1 1/2 pints from her. It's YUMMY stuff, basically tastes just like cows milk but a tish sweeter. (I'd never had goat's milk before). DH has built my stanchion (he didn't like the holding job, LOL) and that has made the goings much easier.
Time to go get cheese making supplies!
