Milking season is done

Well the 2010 milking season is done. The girls overall did very well, only a few didn't do as well as I would have liked. I had 68 does average 235 days with 1684 pounds of milk. 26 of those 68 were first time milkers. My highest producer again this year is Sunny. Sunny milked 296 days and produced 3534 pounds of milk. Dawn came in a close second, 306 days with 3504 pounds, Dotty came in third with 263 days and 3305 pounds. I also had 20 that produced over 2000 pounds of milk which is absolutely wonderful. That's just how it is supposed to happen. Each year you keep getting better.

Jason and I are looking forward to a great kidding season. Hopefully the really cold weather is happening now and February and March will be moderate.

As you can see in the store I have been busy making scarves. I am just about done with number six and will probably work on a small blanket next.

Stay warm.
