I have a pure Fainting goat Doe and a Nigerian Dwarf /Fainting goat wether.
No, no names yet...well, one buck is Walter, but we can’t decide on the rest. We’re waiting to see personalities. The best thing happened today...the mom, Busty..is nursing the triplets!! Yeah!! I was sooo happy to see them nursing! So I let them out of the kidding stall to play while I’m doing chores, but I’m keeping them locked up for a goooood long time so it doesn’t happen again when I’m not out there. We also have three mini pigs to name..all females...I’ve been looking up names on the internet.
I do. I’ve been milking like crazy lately. Fingers get sore!
will you sell the milk, make soap, etc? I didn’t care about the milk. I thought I’d just try it out. My goat stopped nursing her triplets because they got disbudded and smelled funny so I had to milk her out because she was painful. But, she’s back nursing now. I might milk again, just to make fudge or something, but it’s not on my agenda. The milk tastes very good...sweet.
Dolly, Wilma and Truffles for the pigs..
I didn’t know they were fainters.....lol...I have two...they are so funny. does the mixed one still faint? I’m planning to breed mine next year, but a buck fainter is hard to find around here, so I was curious how that would go.
