Milking the goats
 This morning my dad took me up to the barn to milk with him and I brought the camera to show you how we milk. Betty and Cookie Doe are the best milk goats we had ever had, Wilma,a goat we will start milking soon when we do something with all the other milk we have. Anyway, here are the pictures I took of me and my dad milking the goats, Enjoy!:)

Here is Cookie Doe up and ready to get milked!

  

 Here is Betty, she cant wait to eat all her oats!

First we wipe the udder so dirt wont fall into the milk bucket.

...Then we sanitize our hands so we don't get germs on her and make her sick.

                                                  

Then we milk some milk into a cup (this is called a strip cup). and make sure there is no clumps in it 

                                                 

Now it is time to milk cookie doe!

Now Betty needs milked also.

                                                

Now we spray fight bac on her so she doesn't get a disease .

Now Cookie Doe needs to get sprayed. p.s. the thing around her legs are hobbles to keep her from putting her foot in the milk bucket. 

Now we cool the milk down and filter it into jars and enjoy a big glass of healthy goat milk!
