Raising dairy goats is a family affair. My husband and I love getting our kids involved in the farm life. They are always in the barn during feeding, cleaning and milking. We have them help out as much as they can. After watching us milk our Nubian doe Candy a few times, our almost 3 year old daughter decided she wanted to try it.....she is a natural and loves to do it. Our children get to see where there milk comes from. They get to feed the chickens and gather the eggs, and in the summer they get to pick the fruits and vegetables and eat them that night. We couldn't think of a better way to raise our children.
