This is "Daisy" who we hope will eventually be our milk goat.
You'll have to pardon her fur, as she was licking herself and was not notified that we would be having a photo shoot. Before we can milk her, a few things will need to happen, but it looks like the process may have already began!
THE "PROCESS"
The process itself is rather simple:
- Impregnate
- Nurse
- Wean
- Milk
Technically, you can even skip step number three, as a mother goat can be milked while she is still nursing. Part of the reason that we also have a young buckling with Daisy is that we were hoping one day they would get married and have kids. Here is a picture of the young buck who is currently penned with her.
He is quite a bit younger and smaller than Daisy, but this may not matter much. Interestingly enough, bucklings can "get the job done" and sire the next generation even as young as three to four months old! Although we haven't "caught them in the act" we speculate that Daisy may already be pregnant. Some farmers have been surprised when they realized that a young buckling bred their whole herd!
She has been putting on some weight lately and growing out around the middle in a potentially beneficial way that could indicate pregnancy. We will keep an eye on her moving forward, but if she is already pregnant, then the process has already started! We are still making friends with her, but she is definitely warming up to us.
Hopefully we will have some good news to share later on, and some cute photos of some kids too. This was not only good news for us, but also for
