These goats really work. I use the milk for cheese and soap, and other things. I milk by hand and expect lots of good tasting milk and nice manners on the stanchion.

17 kids born!

We had 17 goat kids born on Double D Ranch this year kidding season. I have sold everyone except one buckling, and have even sold 2 does. It seems the mini Nubians are just so darn popular. I had lovely kids and the girls are giving lots of creamy milk. I am making soap, feta, chevre, and cheddar cheese almost every day- oh yes, and gallons of raw milk kefir...and of course there's the beautiful mason jars of rich milk in the fridge just to drink. Love it!

As soon as I have some free time I'll post pictures of the girls and some of the kids they had. I'll  include the bucks, and announce the new 5th generation mini Nubian buck coming to live here soon.
