Fresh goat milk

Moved Tanner to the other side of the kidding barn yesterday, her 2 kids are draining her. They are plenty big enough to be weaned. I have been to busy with the garden to start milking, but I canned the last of the tomatoes last night and nothing is producing much in this heat, so it's time to start. Gave her a nice bath then a hoof trimming and sheared her. She was pretty dirty, finding any wet spot in the barn to wallow in to keep cool. The good thing about Tannner is she loves to be pampered, she is very good on the milking stand and even likes to be sheared. Since I had no bottle babies this year there will be plenty of fresh goat milk. Barnie and her kittens got to enjoy the first milking.
