We ended up with a 1/2 gallon of gorgeous, relatively clean goat milk (in other words there were only a few goat hairs in the bucket by the time we were finished) today! And I can proudly say that more milk ended up in the bucket than on the floor (hey, I think I'm doing pretty good for a "city slicker" who has never milked anything before). We are beginning to get the hang of this milking thing! And, guess what? The milk actually tastes GOOD -- I mean, no "goaty" flavor. Apparently, goat milk only begins to taste goaty after having "aged" a bit ... so we are off the races and already counting up our savings at the grocery store! -- signing off, "Farm Hand" Gigi
