Thankful Thursday, #3
Today, I am thankful for...
...my beautiful Alpine doe, Madeline, and all the lovely milk she gives me every day! I always make sure I tell her "thank you" when we are finished milking and give her extra lovin'. This is the milk she gave me this morning.
Pretty girl... love goat milk. I'm gonna be sad when I have to dry off Tulip & Star, I'll have to do without my goat milk for a few months & get ready for babies :)

Oh, I love Alpines! One of my first goats was an Alpine--her name was Coffee and she was so gentle. She had big horns like your goat, just beautiful!
TWG,
She is a sweetie! :)
Julie,
I do love my Alpines, such good milkers!

Looks like Madeline deserves a nice treat once in a while. She is busy and a hard worker. That is a lot of milk.
Do you milk once a day or twice?
Robyn,
I only milk once a day. I could get more milk by milking twice a day but I'm not sure what I would do with even more! LOL!!
What big horns you have my dear!!!
What a good milker! I always thank my girls too. Except Helen, and her I saw, "Ha, I told you I'd milk you," because she's a brat. :-)
Ohhhhhhhh I am soooo jealous. What a good goat to provide such a blessing for you.
Nancy,
LOL!!
Teresa,
Madeline can be a brat when she is in full heat, I usually just skip milking that day!
Kristina,
She sure is a good milker! :)

Jennifer,
I hate being without my milk that's why I'm going to breed Abigail one year and Madeline the next! ;-)
She is a beautiful goat. :)
Kateri,
