Since I put Frodo up north, I decided I had to let Perdita out. She’s already going to have to have a shot to make sure Chunky Boy didn’t breed her before I sold him.
Perdita
As soon as she came out, she and Purl had to have a little fight. After all, they are goats.
Purl and Perdita
At least this one wasn’t too serious.
It didn’t take her long to see her maa, Astra.
Astra (Hera behind) and Perdita
You can pretty much guess what that means.
I swear this girl does not get the idea of being weaned. That is why I had to have her shut up north for sooooo long.
Basically, this means I’m done milking Astra (she was really getting dried up anyhow). I might see if I can get her to come in and bring Perdita for a bit of training too.
She looks pretty happy about it.
I am still filling my freezer; it is getting almost full.
I’m also freezing some pint bags for my use over the winter.
Since I’m still freezing and I had just weaned some other girls, guess who I invited in to see if she’d let me milk–Cupid!
Cupid
She was perfect. I wouldn’t have even had to use the collar. I’ll milk her for a while, just for training. As you can see, she was already weaning her boy and cutting back her production, but it never hurts to have them trained and willing to let me milk them.
