Udder-ly Amazing

Since Charlotte kidded, she been producing lots of milk.  Many people wait to drink the milk until two weeks after kidding, but I couldn't wait!  It tastes so good!  I have been milking just in the mornings.  Just a few days after she freshened (gave birth), she milked a full 1/2 gallon (4 pounds!).  However, I think some little ornery buckling is drinking more than his share.  Frankincense will soon be separated from her at night so he stops taking all of the milk.

Enjoy this "Udder Update!'

Before kidding.  Yes, Charlotte was REALLY dry!

A few days after kidding.  Yes, Charlotte is really FULL!  She didn't choose to fill her udder until 24 hours before giving birth.  I was getting a little concerned, but she filled up in time to give little Frankincense lots of milk!

Edna a few weeks ago (tiny teats)!

Edna just a few days ago (you can see how her udder is forming and growing)!  Edna is a first freshener (this is her first year to have kids), so she is growing an udder for the first time.

I found this picture of Edna from back in December (right after she was bred).

She is now so pregnant!  She likes to just lay around and let her big belly rest!  She is due in just about a week and a half.  It will be great to have more baby goats around!  I am getting excited again!
