Mahafakir (not very clever) - In case you hadn't noticed - they are SHEEP not goats!!

I can teach this Dairy in Tasmania to produce cleaner milk and milk more goats even after washing and stripping the teats. The girls do not take the trouble to do what is necessary to get the goats to release all the milk that is stored in the udders. The hormone that releases the milk would run out before the udder is empty because all the milk would get soaked back up after the hormone is gone. The goats would need to be taken to a second parlor in series to get them to release more milk.

Y is this man talking so much. His girls r dirty. They do not stimulate the udders n wash r strip the teats at the start n just stand there n stare at the udders n shake them to make them know they r there before applying the machines. The cheese they make is hard cheese like they make with cows milk. In America they don't process the cheese made from goat's cheese. n the man does the boring job of talking rather than squeezing the udders. n the interviewer does not see the udders at all.

U've 1 goat n u want to make cheese. But what is the problem? The only problem I see is that u won't have enough milk. to make cheese. To do it boil the milk n put some lemon juice and keep boiling n filter through a cloth. U've the cheese. Compress it to squeeze water n u've the feta cheese. It's not like u r going to make swiss cheese out of goats milk. My advice is to drink the milk straight from the udder of your goat. It's more fun that way n the goat will be pleased when u do it this way

We have a milk goat. We want to make cheese from the milk. The first attempt was a untasty failure. I admire what you are living.
