Nubian Goat Milking Routine | Milk Goats | Small Farm Dairy

A little over 2 years ago, we embarked on a wild journey with goats for the purpose of using their milk. I grew up with the mentality that goat's milk was disgusting. Our first goats were Nigerian Dwarves and we were thrilled at how sweet, creamy, and delicious their milk was!!! Thus, we started to grow our little dairy herd!

With two members of our family having dairy intolerances, we were beyond relieved to be able to have goat milk! It completely changed the game for cold cereal, baking, as well as homemade lattes....yum!

Love love loved this video!! Thank you for sharing. I’m so impressed with how well your goats behaved for you. I’m newer to goats. My two are just about 2yrs and first kids born. Getting ready to start milking. I’m so glad I found your channel!!

Hello from Michigan, i rasie Alpine dairy goats, we are on monthly DHI and they all earn their miking stars. They give on avg 4.7 % butter fat. We do raw herd shares. Its very important to be super clean and cooling milk as fast as you xan. I have four milkers and i tet 6 gallons a day. I breed for heavy long lasting milkers. Thank you for sharing till next time God Bless you all.

❤Watching again. OMG I love the Taxidermy collection in your home. I know some people have different views, but again from living in the north country, hunting season vital to the health cycle of the wildlife circle of life. My sister -in-law lives on Lac Megantic, Quebec. Not far from where we lived just over the border. We displayed many things on our wall as well. I retired n moved to Southwest Florida, so when I see video's n pictures of beautiful north country, I do miss it. ❤

This was a cool lesson. I never delt with goats, or the milking process, so I learned some great stuff. Love that you emphasize the cleanliness, and how things affect the flavor. Makes sense to me. Also, never would've thought of using the dry erase markers on my glass jars. Thanks for that tip!

Those babies are so stinkin" cute! I have heard that Toggenberg goats will produce sweeter tasting milk if they are given B12 injections. Can't remember why they don't have enough??? Also putting cobalt salt out for your goats will help improve the flavour of their milk.

I subscribed earlier today I thought..? Oh well, Subscribed now :) We have a little family farm homestead too.

I dont think you were being cruel to the goats at all. You were just looking out for them and not letting them escape. Very informative video. I want to keep goats now lol maybe one day when I retire 😊❤

Interesting on milking a goat 🐐 I actually learned something lol

I’m an old farmer retired now from farming. When I had goats I would milk them 2 times a day. Doing everything right to keep everything sanitized. The milk still had a little strong flavor.. I learned to wash under the tails of my milk goats at least once a month there’s like a pocket that the does have like a sent gland once I washed the area out the taste of the milk was good. I did not keep a Billy goat so the flavor was from the nanny. I raise alpine and saunas goats.

I'm going to be using breast milk freezer bags to freeze my milk. I haven't seen them made for goat's milk.

Extra milk will condition your soil in your pasture for better grass or hay.

@Liltroyerfarm Sorry if you've followed up on a different video, but how did putting the stainless steel ice cube balls (?) in the milk bucket go? I should be milking our first goat in the next week or so and this is something I have considered. Just wondering if it was worth the purchase. As always, love your videos!

Question for you: so after you put it in the freezer, are you waiting for the milk to actually be frozen solid before you remove it from the freezer or how do you know when to remove it from the freezer?

Zoom it
Show me how you do milking
How you squeeze goat udder properly

So the ND being your favourite milk for taste, why the Nubians? Are they higher yield and easier to milk?

[NatashaRachel]

strong flavor might just be great cheese :P
