I noticed the other day that one side of Cinnamon’s udder looked quite full. She was also kind of talking to me in a demanding voice, so I milked her out.
Now she’s decided that it’s an everyday thing. She’s weaning Norm so she can go in to be milked.
Well, in all fairness, he’s old enough to be weaned.
It still hasn’t been long enough since they were wormed for me to use the milk, so it’s going to the freezer for future bottle kids.
Because Cinnamon insists on being milked, I have Dolly, Haley and Stormy lining up to be milked too. They, however, are not weaning their kids.
Stormy’s teats are usually wet and slimy from Ghost having just nursed when she comes in.
I’m going to have to figure out how to wean some kids, so I can start milking in earnest. I have the feeling I’m going to need it soon to help with some June triplets.
I also have a Cutie Pie who must remember me telling her she’d get to be a milking girl when she grew up.
I must have forgot to mention the whole having a baby first part because she’s as insistent as Cinnamon that she needs to come into the milk room and eat some sweet feed. I guess I’ll call it training.
I do hope you’ll come back tomorrow for Friday’s Hunt. I have this week’s items listed at the top of my side bar.
The look on Cinnamon’s face is priceless
I love that each goat has a very different character.
Awww – such adorable shots.
They are all so sweet! Wonderful series of photos!
Have a happy day and weekend!
I loved the whole story and the pictures!! 🙂 Cinnamon and Cutie Pie, as well as the other ladies are just too funny!
A milker-in-training! Love it.
