Milking Time

I thought you might like to see pictures of our very high-tech and sophisticated milking process…

1.  Open the gate and send the goats (and the cow) running.

Sorry, Gwenny, you have to wait till next year.

but we still love you

2. Guide in the stragglers who get lost along the way. 

They’ve only been milked in the same spot for over two months now, so it’s perfectly understandable that they forget where they’re supposed to go every now and then single night.

3.  Get the first two goats on the stands and ready for milking

While the others wait patiently (or not) for their turn

4.  Catch the babies and take them to the Baby Goat Playground for the night:

5.  Milk!

(We wouldn’t normally milk into plastic containers… this is Spats, who got wormed this week, so her milk is going to the cats.)

And there you have it!
