Can't Wait To Start Milking!

I'm so excited - my milking machine is coming tomorrow!!!

I wanted to wait to start milking to let everyone settle into the fact that I am the one who has the food etc. And now if they see me they get excited and have started letting me pet and touch them.

Our friend is building me a machine that will do up to 4 goats if I want but will be set up for 1 right now with the tubing for #2 which will just have to wait for my husband to build the 2nd milkng stand.

Can't wait for some milk!! Especially since I saw milk at the store for $3.74 a gallon!!

I'm right there with you...my machine should be coming soon. I just ordered one in the mail...but I'm sick and tired of hand milking 4 does already (has been a week). Doesn't help when two of them give over 10#/day.
