This is what sold me on the breed. I've always loved them (and those tiny little babies!) when I've seen them at the fair and when I found out that they are actually great little milk goats the deal was sealed. I was especially excited to hear how good their milk is for cheesemaking as that's been something I've been dying to start doing! When we're ready I'm looking at getting two does which I'll breed 6 months apart. I'm pretty sure that will keep our family of two (with weekend visits by the two kids) in milk all year long.
REALLY????!!!! DH and I started to consider milking goats but didn't want to have to continually breed them, twice a year isn't too bad... Are you planning on having a buck or just using stud services? I actually have a local mini farm that offers stud goats I'm just not sure which breed. Ok, question for all the goat experts, what do you do with the babies? Sell them?
Apparently so... the ones I've seen born at Pelican Acres this week are already for sale on their website. http://www.freewebs.com/pelicanacres/forsale.htm
