Wonderful that they have invented the eazy milker.

Too late for me, I have days that I couldn’t handle even that, and there is no way I could keep it clean.

Do let us know how you like it and more importantly, how the goat likes it.

when I milked up to 6 at a time, it was understood that that was my time, and people did not come to bug me.

LOL, the military was testing a space ship at the time and most evenings, at dusk while I was milking, I could watch it take off from the place it was stored and then fly right over me, to get on the bombing/test range.

The ducks and geese always came to talk to me, as they knew they would get the first milk.

If you ever have a bunch of ducks and geese, go out some night and sing to them.

Keep in mind that my singing voice is one that no one has ever asked to hear the second time.

One night, I had a lot of veg peelings for the geese, so went out about 9 pm, nice and dark and felt like singing and did so.

They loved it, acted like real people, paid attention, were quiet and when I stopped, would make sounds like “Ohh sing one more, please”.

Bill got worried about me and came to see what I was doing.

I did get him to go and play his harmonica for them a couple times and they did enjoy it.

Hard to guess how large the crowd was, at least 20 ducks and 10 or 15 geese.

Yes, please tell how this works as I *want* to get some goats and will have to learn all about everything from scratch. I'm storing all the knowledge I can get in the mean time.

What a cute story!
