Ashley and Mona

My niece is over tonight and wanted to help milk the goats, she did very well for a first time milker.  Afterwards she wanted to take Mona for a walk.

I am in the process of drying Mona off which is going to be long process.  Joyce warned me she was hard to dry off last year, before I started.  I have been milking her once a day for 2 weeks now and soon will start milking ever other day.  Plans for that this week we hope will have to wait and see how her production is in a couple of days.  Once Mona goes to every other day milking Rachel is going to twice a day.  Rachel is doing very well and is giving quite a bit more milk now than when I first got her.  I am hoping to breed Mona next month for Feb kids.  I was going to breed her to another Togg but found a lady very close with a full blood Boer and a Kiko, once I get a chance to see them I will pick which buck to breed her to.   God Bless Dustin
