This video makes me laugh for personal reasons: I used to have to hand-pump my breast milk when nursing my babies was problematic. I know how that full udder feels, and how both painful it can be, yet what relief it is to get that milk out! Lucky for this goat, she has really good teats, unlike me. LOL!
Thank you for this awesome video. You not only showed how to milk a goat but you went a but further to show how you filtered the milk. This was so neat. I had a little bit of goats milk when I was 10-11 but that was a very long time ago. Giggle giggle.
Yes, as long as you keep milking, they keep producing it year round. And it tastes the same as cow's milk. But gotta make sure there are no males around. As soon as you introduce a male billy goat, they somehow change the smell, to a more wild tasting milk. I don't why, but from my experience thats what happens. Otherwise, you can't tell the difference at all between Wal Mart cow milk and goat's milk.
She milks one handed. There is a good reason Goats abd cows should be milked with both hands. When you stimulate the udder the animals produce a hormone that make the tissue in the udder contract and expand. That releases the milk. But the hormones stops production after a while and the milk flows back in to the tissue and you can't squeeze the milk any more. That is why the goats start acting up and the cows will kick. Yje girl herself said that the goats start acting up after a while. .
@fakir0005 I normally milk with both hands - I am milking with one hand here so people can see what I am doing. This video is to help people - not to show how fast I can milk a goat.
This is a great video. I am in the process of building my Nigerian Dwarf herd and have never milked before. Thanks so much for the information and helpful hints ;o)
Thank you so much. I hope to get a milking goat as well as a pygora (I knit/crochet/spin). I had some concerns about the Nigerians but I think they will be the perfect goats for our small urban space. I might pester you with questions later on.
Great video! I had no idea this was a video of Nigerian Dwarfs... I've been looking into purchasing two or three. Never had goats before, and I don't have much room for large goats, but Dwarfs should suit me nicely. Thanks again, I learned a lot!
The goat was getting ftdgety because she was being bored to death. Keep a bucket underneath her and milk her two handed and hold her teats firmly and squeeze so that the milk comes with force and she is done with.
Good video! I get the distinct feeling that in the future we'll all be learning to do things like this so we can afford food. I've already talked my mom into moving to somewhere less expensive than California, buying a small farm or house with land, and getting things like goats and chickens to supplement our food. She daydreams about getting a windmill to pump water from a well and living totally off the land as her retirement. Any ideas on good ways to generate electricity without gas?
