Bailey
This sweet lady is Herd Queen! She is also my oldest goat. She was born in March 2015. We have had her from the very beginning of our goat journey!
She's so fun to have around. She loves to follow me around the farm and rub her head on me. Although she can still have babies, she doesn't produce as much milk as she used to. Therefore, she is currently not being milked.
Cotton
Cotton is my very best milker! She was born in 2017. She and Candy are twins!
Cotton is so calm and mild mannered. She is the best goat to demonstrate milking! She will even tolerate children learning to milk with her.
Candy
Candy is such a gentle goat. Born in 2017 and twin to Cotton, she is another great milker!
She is a calm and patient goat. She tends to wait for the other goats to milk before she comes up to milk.
EllieMae
EllieMae likes to be in charge. She was born in 2020. She might appear small in this picture, but she is mighty! And she has LOTS of milk too.
BJ (Bailey Jr)
BJ is Bailey's daughter, born in 2020. BJ is super kind and sweet. She is more patient than most of the other goats... I think she gets that from her mama!
She is a wonderful mom to her babies and gives us lots of wonderful milk.
Jane Doe
Jane Doe came to live with us in 2023. She was born in 2021 and is a registered Nubian. Her milk is so rich and thick! But she has been voted "Most likely to step in the milk pail"... so I have to be really careful and attentive to her when milking. But we still love her so much!
Jane has the most beautiful babies!
Spot
Spot is Cotton's Granddaughter. She is a first freshener this year, meaning she had a baby for the first time. Spot was born in 2022.
Spot loves to have her neck rubbed! She is such a sweet goat, but she means business on the milking stand! She is ready to milk each morning, pushing her way to the front of the line.
Reece
Reece is Cotton's daughter! She is half Saanen, half Nubian. Her milk is very rich and thick.
She is a first freshener this year, as she was born in 2023. She is doing quite well on the stand and fights her way to the front of the line. (Usually Spot and Reece are the two rushing to be the next one milked, lol)
Reba
Reba is BJ's daughter, born in 2023. Reba loves to be around people!
She is a first freshener this year, and had the cutest baby! She struggled on the milking stand initially, but now she is milking like a champ!
