What breed goat did you get? Do you have to let them get pregnant every so often to keep them as milk goats?

Have you sent their pictures to former President Bush? (Shameless “My Pet Goat” reference.)

We had an opportunity to buy Alpines. They are sooo funny and sooo loving, it was the right choice for us. Plus, their milk almost has a sweet taste to it.

One girl has twins on her now. The other one is being milked and has been for about a year and a half. Late this summer we will dry the one girl up, rest and breed her for kids in the spring. The momma goat will have the kids taken off and she will be the milk goat for a while.
