We did basically the same things this morning. The first thing we did ( and probably will be the first thing we do every day ) was feed the baby goats. We rode Patches and Bella after that. Since only the boys chose forgery, all the girls got to ride both horses. I trotted on Bella, and I tried to trot on patches but it was hard to get her going. Allie showed Grace and me how to show your goat. The main things are squaring up the legs and keeping your goat still. We had a little free time afterward. Then we the boys and Stephen made ice cream while Allie sheared an Angora goat named Tumnus. Grace and I helped bag the wool. I got to lick something that from the ice cream machine that had ice cream all over it. Next we had lunch. There was a bit of free time before milking. Trig had 1.5 pounds of milk for me today. I might have gotten more but it started down pouring and I got soaked. Now I'm blogging and I'm about to make some lip balm.
It turns out that I milked Skittles and not Trig. They look similar so I got them mixed up.

Wow! Your goat was generous with the milk!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the goats don't care who feeds them. They're just grateful to see a hand holding a bottle.
I'm glad you had another fun-filled and educational day.

Can't wait to hear how you do showing the goat. I can remember only the cannon and the pole (oh, yeah, and the bladder;) Hope you stay dry tomorrow! Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you - I love the background colors and template. Very lively!
ReplyDeleteLove, Mom :)
