@onetweetygirl71 Look into goat shares. It may work for you.
Thankfulness for sharing this video with us. Does teat size make a difference to you? I am wondering if it’s a lot harder if the girl has smaller teats to milk? The second goat, was that Eleanor? Anyway her teats looked smaller than the white goat. Does it make a difference to you? Is it more hard to milk?
wow, never would have plotting that. i wonder why? well, i guess i will have to figure out something else. do you know if Michigan can sell it? i am right on the border and it wouldnt take much to zoom over there. thank you very much for the info.
@onetweetygirl71 Thankfulness for your observations. It is illegal to sell goat milk in Ohio so you’ll have to find another source of protein for your family. Annie
thank you so much for this video. My hubby & i have been wanting goats for a very long time. once we get a nice place with some land we want a few goats. do you know anywhere in the Toledo and serounding areas were i can buy goats milk. i make soap & want to use it in all my soaps as well as want to give it to my girls. they also have a problem with cows milk & i have been told goats milk is as close to human milk as you can get. dont know for sure, but that is what i have heard. thankfulness.
thank you!! Your’s is the best by far on milking…very informative…I will be being paid a few does in the near future…neather of my grandchildren digest cow’s milk..they lack the protien, my grandson really breaks out in rashes–from cow’s milk BUT he can drink goats milk, and likes it. Goats milk is VERY expensive down here…5-8.00 a gallon…and we go thru it sweet quick in our house…Excellent video!!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I’m new to the whole thing (subdue after a year) but irrevocably I have two girls ready to pop any day now! Am really excited and quite nervous.
ty!
thankfulness for this video .i have never milked a goat before but we just got a prego mini and she just had a baby
Like your video, thankfulness for sharing!
No, the goat looks fine. Dairy cows look heavy, dairy goats must not.
That is a nice milking stand – I like the keyhole design for the goats head. Is the stand home made – some dimensions would be fantastic.
We’re located in southeast Ohio USA.
Where is this Blue Ridge Income Center? I’d like to visit your center and milk your goats. If you have a large number of goats I’d like to work at the center milking your goats. You don’t have to pay me any thing.
isn’t that goat a bit too thin? Just askin. M no expert.
Thank you for the wonderful information. The video was quite informative and a excellent lesson for my husband and myself. We’re excitedly anticipating the buy of our first milking goats and we’ve been researching equipment like this for a while but your video has been one of the better ones we’ve seen, that’s for sure!
thankfulness for the video. Approx how much mild does each goat provide?
your goat seemes pleased beter call p.e.t.a.
bedadine not alcohol
What wonderful animal husbandry skills you have, your charges seem very content and pleased, your goat’s milk must be tasty. Do you ever make cheese, yogurt, butter, soap, etc. from your milk?
Thankfulness for the cool video, I can tell you like your animals.
Like this!!! Excellent job, I want to be there one day with my goats.
