do you milk your goat herd?

Not yet but this is the plan. Most of my herd is actually not yet breeding age. Plus my daughter went to school... well all four are now. So we plan to get a milking stand and give it a try... things just havent fallen together yet. Ive only had this large of a herd for a small amount of time.



It all started when we fell inlove with our stud at a flea market. He was a few days old lol

Tisk! That's how we started, too (well omit the flea market)...DH wanted a goat...so we went to a breeder and bought a wee little buckling.

The rest, as they say, is history

I really want to milk ! If you start you will have the makings of quite a large dairy and could go into milk or cheese or soap buisness if you wanted to ! your herd is wonderful when I get my own place (I am only 16) I plan on having a heard of Alpine or Toggenburg goats I love their attitude and also look.

Here's a site that has Wonderful Dairy Goat info: http://fiascofarm.com/goats/index.htm

Here's their instructions & info on a Goat Milking stand, a little down lower on the page there's a downloadable .pdf file you can download with the pics & plans:

We'll be making a stand in the spring. It'll be a great help from milking to hoof trimmings.
