INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Most breeds of goat don't make enough cream for butter since it is more naturally homogenized than cows milk. It makes great yogurt, cheese, etc. You can share milk with the kids and then milk once a day still after weaning. I have a doe that is a gallon plus a day milker, but I choose not to take it all taking a little less progressively until she is where I want her around 4-5 cups. I then freeze any extra for cooking later, or like right now I am saving milk for next year's babies since I have a doe that haschad udder problems and I may need the milk to bottle feed. I can milk her a couple of months into her pregnancy so I should be able to store a bunch.
You can even go to every other day with your milking, but when it gets real hot or towards breeding season they may dry up.

Hi Dax.....

Bubba is good. I got new earrings for DD, could you hear her screaming when I changed them? It was traumatic for everyone. :/ Both her backs were grown in.. I'd never had that happen, so it was to something I was looking for or expecting. She got the piercings last December so they're not even new.

poor girl never fun, which ones did I go with?

The perils of being busy, I guess.

Hi!!!

I fed the broody and candled all 9 of her eggs; 8 of them look great! One looked murky and felt cold. They should hatch Sunday-Monday.

Hope you all had a good day today.... I went to the doctors. Looks like I need to make some big changes sooner than later.

howdy..... No not great news..... I've been bordeline Diabetic for years.... A1C was 7.8 looks like I'm going on Meds now.......have to watch my diet now. One good thing is looks like I'm gonna get allergy shots for the dog and cat allergies....

Gotta get that down it's tough, cinnamon pills help to decrease spikes a N such pm me if you'd like more info

Pipped in the wrong spot! What do I do?

Leave it for now, listen to chaos

My paternal grandmother was diabetic; so was my mother. My brother and one sister are. Doc told me years ago I'm borderline...no meds, just watch the sugar intake. I quit sodas years ago, taken my coffee black for 50 years, very seldom eat a candy bar. I dearly love iced green tea with a taste of sugar (half the regular amount), but I've even replaced that, for now, with ice water, in an effort to lose a few pounds. Its working. I also like my cookies and ice cream. I should limit myself more, but likely won't, unless forced into it. So far, so good

keep an eye on yourself, it's harder as you get older unfortunately

Quote: I need to learn a lot more before I get to that point. Roxie HATES being handled, so the milk I got from her was full of hair. I also don't know what I'm doing, so we're both suffering. When I sell the second baby I'll have to milk her a little to relieve pressure while she dries up? That's what my neighbor said.
Could you put a head gate on the milking bench, and strain her milk through a cloth?

I have a 24 weeker, who's supposed to "have asthma" we are watching him closely for signs.... the doctor would have us just give the meds with out signs, but the meds affect bone density and all sorts of crap. I'd rather not give it, if he doesn't need it.


i also take metformin, though i'm not diabetic, I have PCOS, so I take it for infertility issues.
