My observations on milking a goat.....

[PamsPride]

WAHHH!! I want milk!! I got another goat yesterday off of a friend. She had started to wean the babies Wednesday and she was not milking because she had to much milk from her other goats already. Well I am getting LESS than a milk CAP full! My friend even came up today....in case I was doing something wrong....and she got even less than I did!
My two goaties are due July 27th and Aug 6th. So I still have a while to go yet.

They only need to be dry for 2 months prior to kidding!

Yes, keep milking until 8 weeks prior to kidding! They will come into heat just fine in milk.

That's what I thought I had read, but didn't want to say anything, b/c I didn'thave time to go back and check my source. So apparently my brain does retain useful information
