I have finally figured out how early I have to get up to be able to finish all of my morning chores and get to work on time. 5:00 am seems to be the magic number which means I need to go to bed earlier than 10:00 pm. I need my beauty sleep to be able to function.
My new Saanen doe, Companeros Kojack Patty, is just milking more and more. It even takes the milk machine forever (it seems) to milk her out. I can't imagine trying to hand milk her. She is sweet too but gets antsy towards the end and wants to go back outside.
Only one more mature doe to breed then I will take a break and wait a month or so to breed the 2012 doelings. I am thinking about holding one LaMancha junior back since she seems small. She can be my dry yearling for next year's shows.
