My friend has Nigerians and she says that they don't milk as much as a Nubian, BUT their butterfat in the milk is higher. Making it easier to make butters and that sort of thing. I think unless I had a professional butterfat separator, it would be nearly impossible to get enough butterfat from my Nubi's to make butter...Though it IS high in Nubians! I want to get a higher butter fat goat someday so I can make some extra things! Or a separator.... Not sure which yet... :)<br /><br />I just got a gallon from my 2 Nubians this morning. I don't milk them in the evening, because I let the babies nurse on the mamas all day... Keeps the babies healthy and keeps me from having to bottle feed everyone. Good trade off... But in another 3-4 weeks, babies will be weaned and we can have all of the milk! YAY!I love not having to buy store milk... I know my children are getting good milk when we have some from our goats.<br /><br />Blessings on getting your new goat girls! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220363100904875087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079272600732355470.post-91489720123425341852011-04-23T09:05:51.510-07:002011-04-23T09:05:51.510-07:00Deborah, I am so excited too for making milk produ...Deborah, I am so excited too for making milk products. I spent time a couple years ago practising making all sorts of dairy products, and kind of had a creamery going in my kitchen for a few months. <br /><br />We were buying raw jersey cow milk with lots of cream on the top. I made butter, cottage cheese, mozzarella, yogurt, and of course we all enjoyed drinking it. Goats milk is delicious if taken care of and properly chilled right away.<br />Enjoy the weekend!Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612234598453063687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079272600732355470.post-40895957266549332842011-04-17T17:33:51.538-07:002011-04-17T17:33:51.538-07:00Wow I cannot wait to hear all about milking and th...Wow I cannot wait to hear all about milking and the different uses for goat milk!
