It's been nice having a few good days to do some things outside. My Dad has been able to be here during the wekk now that Shirley's restaurant is closed for the season. We have done some barn cleaning.
Today we put more round bales in the barn for the girls to eat. Guess what it's suppose to rain for the next couple days. again. It's suppose to be heavy at times on Friday.
Last Saturday I had a new milking system put in on a trial basis. It is a co-pulsation system. It is suppose to be easier on the goats mammary system and improve the quality of the milk. We will see if it helps for the last few weeks or if it will make a bigger difference next year.
Only a few more af the milking does left to have bred. Next weekend I will put Toby in with the younger girls to begin his "work".
Almost done with the scarf!!
Later.
a Nor'easter is headed our way, so I hope you and the goats stay dry.

I'll be really interested to hear more about the milking system. We haven't purchased one yet (we are just breeding our girls for the first time within the next month or so) but we will be looking to do so right after the first of the year. So please keep us posted about it- would love a Farmer John review!
