So umm Amethyst when were you going to tell me you had a BEAUTIFUL mammary?! I am shocked. If only she wasn’t so dang flighty. This is about 12-14 hours and her first fill ever. Daughter of Orion and Obsidian. She was not a fan of being milked but I’m sure with time, patience and love she’ll come around, I managed to save around 4 cups before she decided it was enough. 🫠 She’s a first freshener feeding triplets.. Excited to see her mature more as she’s still got a fair amount of edema.

🚨Friends I need your help! 🚨

It’s probably not wise or probable but if you were to last minute go to a goat show next weekend which 2 of the 3 yr olds would you bring and why? PS. They were not very cooperative so they do look nicer when they want to be, dang Ornery Nigerians 😒🙄
*I’ll likely do a separate post with my Yearlings.*

Ignore my sloppy handwriting but this is how many cups my current milk string gives me. Mind you most of these ladies are at least 8 weeks into lactation, based on 12ish hour fills, and are only getting milked once a day in the morning.

Sweetie:9yr 8F 2 wks fresh on 12 hours = 4Cups

Peanut: 7yr 4F 9wks fresh on 12hours = 3.5Cups

Sid: 3yr 3F 5.5wks fresh on 12 hours = 2 2/3 Cups

Tiny: 3yr 2F 8.5wks fresh on 12hours = 2.5Cups

Velvet: 3yr 2F 5.5wks fresh on 12hours = 3Cups

Vienna: 3yr 2F 8.5wks fresh on 12hours = 3Cups

Clover: 2yr 2F 8wks fresh on 12hours = 2 2/3 Cups(She was producing 4 cups but then she had a mild bout of something that caused her to significantly drop production, but she’s regaining now and is doing fantastic!)

Are you truly a farm kid if you haven’t taken a nap during chores and snuck a sip or two or fresh fresh milk? 😂🤪❤️

For those who saw the story and are wondering what that was all about, Our last doe of the year has kidded, with a single Buckling. Momma and baby are healthy and doing very well considering he was born 6 days early. Bug was due 5/27/26 yet last night I noticed ligaments are practically gone and her udder is tighter than it was. So after a few minutes of musical stalls, she was put in a stall. This morning as I was finishing milking; around 8:25, she quietly unassisted delivered a perfectly positioned Silver Buckskin Buckling, while I was hoping for no 🥜 I’m very grateful this little boy is as vigorous and strong as he is being a premie. Bug is a very attentive and protective momma but not so convinced at letting her baby nurse, but give credit where it’s due, she’s young and her first time and is being a great mom! He will be available as a wether sometime in July after weaning.

Well, at least we don’t have to worry about our farm critters being well socialized around people especially kids! ❤️

Amethyst had her babies yesterday! As I suspected she had triplets sired by Mycroft, however not the ratio I ordered🙃😅 But I really can’t complain because she’s been such a fantastic mom and her 2bucks and 1 doe are perfect and healthy! Once the first kid was out the next two rocketed out and she was done within half an hour max🤯 At first she had no idea what just happened but quickly took to mothering! And her prefresh udder 😅 *chefs kiss* I can’t wait for her first overnight fill! All of her kids are available; her bucklings will be wethered.
