Wishing you 'enough' this year

I Wish You Enough
By Bob Perks

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."

How we handle our milk-


Udder is washed & dried

Milker is placed on goat


Any hand milking is done in a stainless steel pail

Every 3 or 4 goats, milk is taken from the portable milker & poured into stainless steel totes. 
Then kept in a cooler with ice bath while rest of the goats are milked.
Temperture of a goat averages 102°.  The milk is already at 60°-64°
when milking is finished.
Milk is strain immediately into glass jars.

Placed in our 3 door cooler -

Stored in glass jars until needed.
