For the last week or so I have had the privilege to start my day out in the barn with the milk goats. I am up to about two quarts a day from them (I leave their kids on them the rest of the day) and am getting very excited about the first batch of cheese.
Thought I would share a bit about the two goats that are meeting me at the stanchion each morning. Lumpy is the goat that I milked last year. She has an amazingly easy going personality (as long as their is food involved). I did figure out today that she is not too fond of cats; when they slink around the corner she is ready to start kicking. The other goat, Suzie, could care less if a cat is at her feet; dogs on the other hand are another story. Suzie is a new milker for me this year and has turned out to be the more patient of the two when I finally get her up on the stanchion (she'll put up a bit of a struggle until she sees the grain).
