Breeding for Optimal Goat Milk Production

[@Ruben-od8sk]

I'm sending you my words of gratitude for the comprehensive materials that you've just provided us all with, in a coherent and professional way. May God stay with you all. Greetings from PL :)

Wow, thank you! I appreciate your generous comment!

[@traceydrost2159]

Thank you for a great video . We brought home our first goats last year and are preparing for our first breeding .

[@jennormsby3818]

I appreciate your videos so much. I send a link to your KZbin to all my new to goat customers ❤😊❤ I raise great quality Nigerian dwarfs and mini Nubians in north east Alabama.

That is awesome! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ And thank you again for the soap 🧼

Thank you so much for creating your Goat Binder!!!❤ I have been using it often, and it has probably saved some lives this week! So thank you 😊 💓 soooo much!

I think it is great you have emphasized proper confirmation and structure. I think it is important new goat owners find a knowledgeable mentor who can guide them in this. There are too many people breeding goats without any clue what they are doing and bringing poorly bred goats into the gene pool. Our goal should always be to improve the breed.

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

Yes! For sure! We always say this about breeding our horses too and get frustrated when we hear about people just breeding any mare that happens to be around. Breed with purpose and thought ❤️ Thank you for emphasizing this!

I had Alpine and Nubians and they gave enough milk for my family and enough to sell to a few people who needed it to treat ulcers. It would have been nice for me if I had a milk machine back then as I also had three boys and a full time job.

I got into goat herding because I felt led by the Holy Spirit to make food my medicine as God enables and equips me to overcome physical impairment issues from Fibromyalgia. I didn’t know that you must get a dairy specific goat to achieve this goal. I have 3 does and they blessed me with 5 beautiful bucklings in June. Three blue eyed like their dad Boots, a blue eyed Nigerian Dwarf , does are Rosey Nubian / Boer cross and Emerly and Zeevah are Nigerian/ Boer cross. There is no relation between Rosey and my other girls, but Zeevah and Emerly are half sisters. So we are banding Emerly’s buck baby, and keeping Zebadee in tact for Rosey and River in tact for the other girls. Will that be enough Dairy Goat lineage for greater supply and better fat content as well? I’m at the top of the waiting list for a Nubian doe for Spring 2025.

Can you tell me where to find these images that shows which picture is correct and which ones is not because its blurry on my end and I want to really know how to make the correct decisions for my herd. I enjoyed this content. Thanks in advance. God Bless

@@lindajohnson1035 it’s really hard to say until the goat is in milk. Their 2 or 3rd year will really show what they’re capable of. I have 3 does from the exact same breeding and all three of them are different and produce differently. So it really is hard to say before they are actually producing :) But exciting to think about!

[@lindajohnson1035]

Thank you for your very swift response Delci, I’m just now sitting long enough to watch another of your videos on Copper and thought I will check comments here and you had already responded. My current three does have beautiful well formed udders with no pockets. They are still nursing their bucklings so I haven’t begun milking them yet. My hope is the three of them will provide enough milk for my husband and I with hopes of making my own butter, yogurt, cream cheese and 0:02 sour cream. My Vet told me I should not wean the boys until they are four months and they will turn 3 months old 13th-15th this month.

[@lindajohnson1035]

P.S. do you think I could separate them at night starting this month, milk my girls some first thing in am and then let them be with their moms throughout the day without taking away from their needs too much? They already eat hay and the feed I give to their moms.

[@rachel4483]

Lol, the fainter.

[@jodelkrone4860]

Do u have to rub your goats teets when u milk them

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

The process of squeezing and gathering the milk is enough rubbing and stimulation for them to let down the milk for milking.

You are a very attractive lady, love the goat videos. I hope to meet a girl like you one day. Im 29 and the girls around are into clubbing, tiktok , drinking. Moden girl arnt made the same. Its kinda like diesel trucks, the older trucks is the ones you want, the newers ones brakedown alot, too many issues with epa nonsense, and heap plastic. Not that your an old truck, but that your generation was the last years producing women of quality. They just dont make them like the use too:(
