And four yearlings will probably yield a decent amt. of milk for you...just be glad you aren't getting four four-year-olds because my goodness you'd be swimming in the stuff. And indeed, good idea on the "pet milk" sale as that's what I do, albeit I usually sell the stuff as products (kefir, yogurt mainly; chevre as the other, hard/cultured cheeses less often but at a much higher price). Our one doe produces soooo much more than we could personally consume. Even with a fine love of cheese, 2 gals/day in the high season and 3 qts/low is, er, lots of milk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-48729794312665386432010-12-09T16:16:33.993-05:002010-12-09T16:16:33.993-05:00PS: yes, bottlefed doelings.

I'm a bit wary of the big leap, but my main man Christopher is a goat lover with mad milk goat experience...and he will be the one in charge, with me standing by as assistant milkperson. <br /><br />He has a mind to sell raw goat milk "for pet consumption" next year, one of the many strategies to bring in the proverbial bacon since Christopher quit his job earlier this year to be a full-time farmer...<br /><br />Of course, we may be crazy.Milkweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358496166576984299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-639085040482080012010-12-09T15:34:31.042-05:002010-12-09T15:34:31.042-05:00FOUR does knocked up Milkweedy?

Are they all doelings too (i.e., never kidded, never been milked)? <br /><br />I think you will really love milking and making cheese etc. It is a wonderful way of rounding out the table as well as finding a lot of new friends! And goats are delightful animals. My husband was all set to HATE my goat but instead is the biggest sap for both of them. (That doesn't mean he'll milk them, though, but he's great with hoof trimming and barn mucking. It's all right. They love him too.) <br /><br />Keep us posted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
