Udderly Fabulous



Phoebe freshened with the prettiest udder. I just started locking Ike away from her at night so I can milk her. I got a bit more than a quart this morning. I didn't strip her dry so Ike could have some breakfast.




Onyx is milking great for me too. Her girls are so pitiful crying for her in the morning. It breaks my heart. She decided to move in this picture so her right side is a little smooshed against her leg. I'll have to get a better picture.

I love having milk! I have been making cheese. I have been filling my cereal bowl to the brim. I can't wait to try some yogurt.

  1. I've had to milk my girl every day since she kidded. Her teats would leak milk like a faucet and her udder was huge. I'm getting a little less now since little man has started eating better. I'm going to make soap today ☺
