Visitors from another planet…I mean state!

Thinking Calvin and Hobbs here.  oh wait that’s weirdo’s from another planet.  Cathie and Mitch visit from PA are in KS for some art conventions in KS City.  Well when city folk come to the farm you have to teach them about milking!!!

Mitch watched with some interest and Cathie gave it a try and got some milk sooner than I did.  Being photographers we had to document the occasion!  The cheese was a hit.

This first goat is Barbie, she has so much milk and such large “teets” that you have to squeeze really hard!  Baarbie is on lone as we needed some extra milk before we got Alice.

Alice is much easier to milk.  She is a Nubian/ Alpine goat with rich white creamy milk and I’m not sure how but it is just easier to get it out of her.  She gives us almost a gallon a day.
