Fenced pasture(s), a barn/shelter for protection from winter weather, fresh water 24/7, a place out of the rain to store extra hay, a place undercover to feed her the hay, a place to store extra grain, a sheltered milking area with a stanchion, lots of buckets (for grain, for milking into, for hot soapy wash water for her udder, etc.), a feeder with salt and mineral, misc. brushes (horse brushes work just fine, the rubber one with nubbies works well for dried mud and for removing the winter hair she sheds in the spring, a bristle brush works well to get bits of hay and dirt off her underbelly so that nothing falls in the milk while you're milking), small towels or large rags for washing her udder, something to strain the milk with (Wal-mart's polyester mens' handkerchiefs work very well, they're also cheap and can be washed and used again and again), lots of jugs/bottles to store the milk in, something to sit on while milking (I just use an upside down five gallon bucket)... Oh, and an extra fridge. You'll eventually want one. Everyone I know with a dairy cow or multiple dairy goats gets a "milk fridge" sooner or later.Thanks for the posts everybody, can someone give me a list of things I will need.
She looks good from what I can see. Do you have a better picture of her udder/teats?How does this one look, she is three years old and just had her second calf.
Yes, she does. Most of it is hidden behind her rear leg.I don't know I just found her online, does she have a utter?
