That's how it started. Lots of squeezing with nothing coming out.
Then she started to get the hang of it. The milk started to flow one squirt at a time.
My DIL is a gal that can take on a challenge and doesn't give up until she makes it happen. Most mornings she joined me for the milking and before too long she got her rhythm down.
As I went about doing other chores she perfected her milking techniques. Soon I heard the rhythmic ping of the milk hitting the bucket.
As I came around the corner I saw her big smile.
"I have foam!"
Cora Belle misses you Steph.

Yay! for Goldilocks! You go, girl!
Such a neat post! Love the smile.
Just happened upon your blog. Love your goats!!! We have goats on our farm, too....fainters. But, we don't milk them. Great blog!
I saw you were the winner of the HenPals nestbox giveaway, and since you have "goat" in your blog name, I had to come visit. Love your Nigerians. We're starting a line of Kinders, so I enjoy reading about others goats.
What a wondeful DIL. Wish my DS and his wife took more of an interest in our lifestyle, but for now, alas.
Congrats on being the winner.
I know her feeling of happines with the foam. Milking is like riding a bike. You never forget. Congratulations on winning the nest box.
I love this! Steph looks so cute!
