Goats

Blackberry kidded with two doelings on March 2. Carmel had two bucklings on March 18th. I allowed both does to raise their own kids. The kids have all been weaned and sold to good homes. That means I am milking three goats now - Blackberry, Carmel and Lollipop. I milked Lollipop all through the winter, and she is still giving me over a gallon of milk each day. That is about the amount that I get from the older goats also. Most of the milk goes to the lambs. I keep about a gallon a day and I use it in cooking or eating and to make cheese with. I got a cheese press for Christmas that allows me to make cheddar cheese now.
