Milk Goat - crash course needed!

[Wildsky]

I got a call saying someone had said the babies weren't old enough!!!

My neighbor couldn't remember when they were born, LUCKY for us she posted on Facebook when the babies were born, so I looked.

They were born on March 18th, so they're well over two months, and pretty close to three months old.

SO we're on again!

Mine were born 4/7 and they've been here two weeks today!
Glad you're back on!

She said the babies are eating and stuff just fine, but someone didn't think they looked old enough.

I told her if things don't look good she can always come back and get mom, we live like 5 minutes apart!

They are PLENTY old enough! I think she is going to miss the doe and is having normal regrets. It will all be just fine.

Her name is Molly. She gave about a cup of milk, she was NOT happy about it, kicked her legs and just was naughty!

I'm just hoping she'll settle down and get used to the routine, this is all new to her as well.
Sadly I got the giggles while trying to milk her, it just all seemed so damn funny to me! And she pooped twice, probably to express her disapointment in my giggling!

I could only get one pic before my memory was full, I have to delete some and go back out and take more.

Molly is having a BLAST eating weeds, when my daughter and I went back out there - she made the cutiest little noise on seeing us!

Bucky, our other goat is being a typical boy, he ramed the fence a few times with his horns, and she jumped up on her hind legs and returned the favor, I think they're playing with each other.

Now I just need a goat expert to tell me what kind of goat she is. She was given to the folks that gave her to me, when she was a baby, she apparently had a broken leg and they didn't think she'd survive so gave her away.

GOOF BALL!

awww!!! look at her. She seems to like you!

I did not realize you had another goat. This should be easy for you to incorporate. No? Have you milked before?

Good luck!!

Good looking goat! Alpine maybe? Or something crossed with an Alpine.
