As per Ferrier1987: You are supposed to post pictures when you post about your baby goats. Its a rule here. I just made it up as a rule, but its now part of the forum rules I have decided.

That is lucky! They're a real pain when you have a lot of sheep and pasture fields scattered with it....

I also forgot to mention that if you make cheese, you can feed the whey back to the ewes and a bit to the poultry too. Once they get a taste for it they love it and its good for them. Good way of dealing with the whey.

It makes really nice soap because of the higher fat content.
I haven't made much butter from it but would skim the lactic cheese before it was ladled of the cultured cream on top and male that into butter, mmmmmm!
