But, what about some Ithaca love? LOL!

Yeah, I know it’s all in the processing. That Cocoa Caradona is really tasty; not ‘goaty’ at all. I worked with a guy who had a goat farm and he smelled like GOAT all the time. Ugh! Boss had to send him home a time or two because of it.

My Aunt’s goats were particularly ornery and it was my job to milk them in the summers. I seem to remember about 6 of them. And it never failed - as soon as that bucket was full if milk, they’d kick it over! Grrr!

I was just a little City Kid, learning Farm Life, but it was still frustrating.

Thats why you train them while they are young to hop up on the milk stand can have their collars clipped while they eat. Never lost a drop of milk. Bucks smell so disgusting but we kept an old sock in a half pint canning jar. The breeder rubbed one of her bucks down with it. Sealed the jar good. If you doubted when your doe was in heat give them a whiff. We also watched backsides and kept track on a calendar. Hop into the hatchback when its time, drive about an hour and the goat hops out, and about 3 minutes later she is back in the car. Always hit it right.
