Bitter Aftertaste?
We are drying up Andy since she got bred to early and we want her to finish growing, but we got a little bit of milk from her! I was really excited to actually get some milk from my sweet little goat, but it was terribly bitter! As far as I know we did everything right, I washed my hands and her udder, and used a just-cleaned milking machine. We even filtered it through a paper towel afterwards! (Since we don't have coffee filters) Did we do something wrong, or is it just the way her milk is? If it helps she is Alpine LaMancha and a year and a few months old. There aren't really any weeds in her pen, could it have been the hay? I remember something about someone having goats that just natually gave bitter milk due to something with the chemicals or something like that, do you think that is it? *Edited to Add* The dogs had no problems with it whatsoever!
In other news, we found a replacment for Caris! She's Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, and it looks like there's some Saanen in the woodpile there too... I know there's the rule, but I don't have any pictures of her! But she looks full Alpine! She's kind of a pretty buff red color! She's so friendly, too! She will actually play with you, unlike Andy and Tommy! BTW her name's Rain!
