Honestly, I'm among the millennials, but my parents are both from Montana ranching families. Although I am not particularly good at it, if I had to I could milk a dairy animal. I've milked goats and horses a bit. Cows less, as we didn't get cows as much as a kid. Sometimes we got paid in animals. Bartering is awesome! I'm fairly strong, but I'm not a true blue ranch kid like my father. He still tosses bales like they are nothing, and he turns 60 this year! I did inherit the stamina, however, and I can work outside all day hot or cold. Still, I feel like a wuss compared to the real cowboys like my dad. I can toss bales with a decent pair of hooks, but not all day. Still, I suppose it's more than most young people these days. Montana is struggling to hold onto its youth for future ranchers and Farmers. Everyone goes to the city for easy money. I can't join my family on the ranch anymore now, since my husband became sick.

I'm a weakling lol and i started sweating just moving some stuff out of the new coop

I think for us, we may sell products made from the goat milk, and then it will be for our consumption........we currently have to purchase 5 gallons per week from the store........the only reason we don't buy 8 gallons per week, is because I refuse to........we could certainly drink that much in a week.

everyone in the family loves milk.....

You go through 5 gallons a week!?!?! Geez how many people do you have!?

But then again we probably go through 2 gallons a week which is a lot.

We used to go through more but my brother moved down the street and my other brother is in TX right now or in school when he's home. So it's just my parents and I right now but that's kind of a lot to go through with only 3 people. But we like cookies and stuff hahaha we go through more when we have cereal, I can eat A LOT of cereal in a day, but it's all stale right now. Speaking of which, gotta throw it out.

Maybe the chickens will eat it. If not, they will compost it

I thought of that but the problem is 3 boxes of it are cookie crisp, chocolate toast crunch, and cinnamon toast crunch so probably dangerous/kinds they can't have. Although looking at the boxes I realized there's a lot more raisin bran than I had thought, 3 boxes of it, so maybe I'll give them the raisin bran and compost the rest. Because btw by throw away i didnt really mean exclusively throw away, i said the wrong thing, i more meant get rid of it, whether that was in the trash or compost pile or wherever. I have also since realized how much chicken approved cereal there is.

And oh wow, that's a lot of people. That makes sense then. And milk used to be a staple here too but now I mostly drink water. But we still use it for cookies, crackers, etc. And coffee and stuff
