I started hand milking Primrose on Friday, I haven’t handed milk properly for a couple of years now so me fingers and wrists are really hurting. It’s nice though, her milk is really creamy and after about an hour in the fridge then the top of the milk is yellow with the cream. So next on my list to buy (when I get paid, as always) is a butter churn and we can have all our own butter as well as milk.

Last week I decided to sell/rehome all my AOV (any other verity) goats, I just have too many at the moment. I’m going to be sad to see them go but so long as they go somewhere nice then it will be ok. AnnieRose is the first going, next weekend, I found an ad for someone looking for a goat to keep their maiden milker company after their oldest goat died and they came to see her today. It sounds like a really nice home.
