I've heard that you can get a gallon of milk or more out of milking one LaMancha once a day but I have yet to experience that. I can't wait to experience that one day! What's been your experience milking larger goats?

I love it when people who ACTUALLY love animals talk about both how their animals work for them and how well they take care of them. Animals were created for us to use, but not abuse. We take good care of them, and we know that their milk, meat, eggs, honey, etc are for us to use.β€

We have a rule around here: two is one, one is none. When you lose your only buck, you understand that. But it isn't just with goats or sheep. It's with turkey toms, roosters, etc.

My goats went almost 2 years fresh. I milked twice a day. Got almost a gallon each day β€

Wow! Youβre suggestion on keeping 6 Nigerian Dwarfs (4 does, 1 buck, and 1 wether) is exactly what we already did! We just got them last week and are really loving them already. Thanks for all the great info!

I had a pet goat at 2 different times. This meaning I only had one at time and never had any problem.

I get a full half gallon from one Saanen on her first breading, only milking once a day so far. But I think I am really lucky with her.

Thanks for another great and informative video!!! There are lots of logistics to consider before starting a herd no matter how small or large. I think you did a great job at covering the important points!! The babies are growing fast but still just as adorable!!! Stay safe!!

What about cattle or pig panels? I built a fence for our backyard out of cattle panels and zip tied chicken wire to the inside to keep my chickens from taking field trips, and it's worked great so far.πππ
