This is Penelope this morning. I put all 4 kids up in a stall last night so I could milk in the morning. Abby too. This is what Penelope looked like. I milked out almost a half gallon! And left some for the kids too. Very impressive for such a small doe and a first freshener too. Her teats go forward a bit but I don't mind at all. She is very easy to milk and pretty fast too.
And this is after milking. You can see her teats now.
Wow, you left a lot of milk for the kids. That's fantastic from a first freshener!
ReplyDeleteI know, she's still huge after. But her kids took care of that right away. They were happy to see her! I hope Penelope will keep this up.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Was her milk tasty?
ReplyDeleteWell, not quite there just yet. It usually takes my goats at least 3 weeks to have good milk. But I can tell it's going to be sweet and creamy.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly that's a big udder! Good for her!
ReplyDeleteI know. And she's not that big of a goat either. Her milk is still not quite the way I like it, but it's getting there.
