So I just milked my nigerian goat for the first time. She put up a huge fight but I ended up getting about 5 oz of milk. I probably would have gotten more but one of her babies got out and got to her first. After I milked I went inside and strained it through one of those wire mesh coffee filters and then dumped it into a mason jar and stuck it in the freezer. I am hoping to use this milk to help feed my bottle baby. One thing that I realized I forgot to do is squirt the first couple squirts on the ground. I forgot all about it. All I did was wipe her down with a clorox wipe and started milking. My question is, will this be ok since I am just using the milk for the bottle baby? I can understand it probably wouldn't be ok if I was going to drink it. Also how long will the milk last if I leave it in the freezer? What about if I leave it in the refrigerator?
It is fine if for a bottle baby. Good for up to a year in the freezer. Good for about 2 weeks in the fridge.
