I'm new to this blog and to goats. We live outside Nashville. Cameo and Sweetie (old Nigerian Dwarfs) joined our family this August at 3 months. We also have 11 children (only 2 boys left at home now), 3 miniature horses, two prys, 3 barn cats and 2 house kittens. I'm thinking of getting a couple of Neubians next spring for milk (I heard its hard to milk the tiny girls). Looking forward to talking goats with you all. Robin http://heartowisdom.com/heartathome
First of all ... WELCOME TO TGS !!! Those girls are really pretty nd's ! luv em !! 11 kids !!! Wowza !! Love the pic with the mini & cart !! love all your pics ! can't wait to see more !
welcome from Idaho Glad that you found us!! About the milking - I have milked my Alping cross (standard) and my Nigerians - and yes, to me the Alpine was definately "easier" but I got really good milk production from my Nigerian. It is just a time thing for me! Can't wait to "see" you around the boards! Allison
Hi Robin and welcome....pretty little nigi's! And you are truly BLESSED to have such a large family....the mini horse is adorable! I milk my mini's and though it does take some getting used to with smaller teats, practice makes perfect! I milked 3 does 2x a day for 4 months this past year and all 3 with the basics only took me 20 minutes.....and the milk is awesome! I was getting just over 2 quarts a day from my nigi and just under from my pygmy/nigi crosses. Can't wait to see "more ' of you....hope you enjoy being here.
Welcome, Welcome from AL!! Those are some VERY pretty girls! Glad to have you and your crew with us! :stars:
