Clover? My darling? I’m going shopping. I’m going to get everything I need to milk you. And then you’re going to let me.
We’ll discuss this later. Look! The big city!
Okay, not exactly the big city, but I just came off a farm on a rock road in the middle of nowhere. This is the bigtime! Ripley! The biggest town in the next county over. I hear there is a good farm store here. I need home dairy supplies and–
TACO BELL!!!!!
Come closer, My Beloved. I have not seen you in so long.
Did I mention I live on a farm on a rock road in the middle of nowhere?
OHMYGOD!!! That was so good!!!!!!!! I’m so glad I came here to go to Taco Bell!!!
Oh. Wait. That’s NOT why I came here.
THAT’S why I came here.
And it’s such a fun store! Look, they have all these little toy cows and horses and pigs and…. Where are the goats? All these toy farm animals and no goats. But they have dinosaurs!
If this goat farm thing doesn’t work out, I’m totally doing a dinosaur farm next.
Look, chore boots. Who would buy chore boots? That doesn’t sound fun at all.
If I’m buying any boots, I want these boots.
Except I don’t need any boots. I have some chore boots at home already.
I don’t need any of these, either.
That’s just plain scary.
I could use one of these, though…..
And yep…..
I couldn’t resist. And–score! I got milk filters, too.
I asked the clerk for a small, seamless, stainless, hooded or lidded dairy pail for goats. She said, “We don’t have that.” Who does? She said, “That’s specialized equipment. You should go to Ohio and get that from the Amish people. It’s only two hours and ten minutes to Ohio.” And two hours and ten minutes back……
So, we struck out for Ohio.
NOT REALLY. We went to Charleston. It was only thirty minutes away from Ripley. Though, as far as I know, there are no Amish people in Charleston. There is, however, a Green’s!
Where they have fun stuff like toys for horses. If I ever get a horse, I’m getting them a ball!!!
But look! I found a stainless steel 2-quart pail–small, right for goat size–and I didn’t even have to go to Ohio.
It was in the pet food aisle.
So I came home and said, “Clover?”
And she looked really eager!!!!
Or not…….
But she scampered right up on the milkstand when she saw us put the food in the milkstand tray.
And went right at it.
Now let me just say that, #1, we got her in the milkstand, eating, and I realized that I FORGOT THE MILK PAIL UPSTAIRS. So I ran upstairs to get it and then back down. And that, #2, this first-time milking process (first-time for Clover AND first-time for me) involved FOUR people. 52, who was in charge of handling Clover. Me, in charge of milking. 17’s girlfriend, in charge of photography. And 17, who was in charge of…..
…..leaning on the gate and eating a sandwich. But I’m sure he was enjoying himself. Like, more than the rest of us.
It started out okay…..
I was all studied up. I could even do it two-handed! And, like, I was MAKING MILK COME OUT OF HER MAGIC UDDER!
MILK!!!
OUT OF CLOVER’S UDDER!!!! WHICH I WAS TOUCHING!!!
Then she kicked me.
And kicked me and kicked me and stomped on my hand and tried to sit down on the pail.
Trying to sit during milking, and kicking, isn’t uncommon in a first-freshener (first-time milking goat). Which is why four people were there. I said, “You’re goin’ down, missy!”
Clover said, “I want twenty cookies, every morning!”
I said, “Ten!”
She said, “TWENTY! and I want thirty more logs to play on!”
I said, “Twenty cookies but no more logs! I ALMOST WENT TO OHIO FOR YOU!”
And she said, “I WANT SATELLITE INTERNET IN THE PEN!” And then she kicked me and stomped on my hand again and said, “YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO GO TO OHIO!”
And I said, “OKAY. TWO HUNDRED COOKIES. FIFTY MORE LOGS. SATELLITE INTERNET!!! WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!!!”
She sorta stopped kicking and sorta stopped trying to sit on the milk pail. She had a whole lot more milk in her (a dwarf dairy goat like Clover should be able to give a pint or two a day), but I was tired and she was tired. And I decided we’d had enough for the first time. Besides, I did it!!!
I MILKED HER!!!
LOOK!!!
Then I took it into the house, put it through the strainer and into the carefully sterilized jar I had prepared for my milk fiesta then chilled it.
I am SO makin’ cheese in ten years at this rate……… Anyone know a recipe for a tablespoon of milk? I MILKED HER!!!!!! And–I tasted it. It is the sweetest milk I’ve ever tasted.
She is goin’ down! I WANT MORE!
Kathleen in MI says:
Congratulations!
That milking pail looked so pretty and shiny and pristine in the store. It looks like that pail took at least one kick also. I hope you bought more than one.

Mornin’ Suzanne,
Congrats on your first milking, and Clover’s too.
My mother has her mother’s cornstick pan. Looks just like the one in the photo …AND we use it. She has a little recipe that just fits the pan. I know it has minced garlic & hot peppers in it … SPICEY Corn Sticks & Sour Cream to dip in!
We use Thai peppers because that’s what we grow. The Thai peppers aren’t ready yet, but I picked a Cayenne and a Jalapeno yesterday … the Thai can’t be far behind.
Yum Yum!

I use to live in a very small community with 5000 people and i was an hour to town – so I know the excitement of a taco bell!!!!! walmart – the mall and on and on.
I guess Coco looked the other way!!! wow thanks for sharing the adventure. i loved the green boots with flowers. old cast iron skillets and muffin tins are really worth a lot. make the best cornbread though – nothing like it. I cant wait for the eggs to come too and for Clover to get use to this milking thing.
M – can you send us the recipe for the corn muffin pan you mentioned – sounds wonderful.

Gizmo says:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You did it!! It will get easier…try pouring her food directly into the trough (no bowl). Pushing around to get all the “crumbs” will keep her busy while you’re milking. The other thing you can do is let her out, but keep the babies locked up, before you milk. Then they won’t steal it all from you…
Doesn’t Ripley have a Tractor Supply?? Don’t waist your time going to OH (the Amish). They’re overpriced, and you can usually find what you need locally. I can also give you some more links if you’d like.
At this rate, you’ll be making sour cream, cream cheese and drinking milk by the end of the month.

Kathy R says:
I almost milked a cow. I was 6, and my great-grandmother had a farm in Putnam County with two milk cows (she had more, but when I was six she was 76 and had slowed down just a bit.)
I begged and pleaded that I could too milk that cow. So she settled me on the milking stool with the bucket between my legs, showed me where to put my hands, and there I was, ready to go. Until she mentioned, casually, that I would do just fine but the cow might kick me. I was OUT OF THERE! So ended my one chance at milking. I think I’m ready to try again if a milk cow (or goat) were to end up in my pasture. Maybe.
PS: Taco Bell in Ripley is the way I celebrated my last birthday. We combined it with a trip to Tractor Supply. My city relatives in California weren’t impressed with my choice for dinner out on my special day. They just don’t understand. In between trips to Ripley I make my own tortillas, enchilada sauce, refried beans – they aren’t Taco Bell but they will do in a pinch.

Great job Suzanne! They make velcro straps that wrap around
both of the goats hind legs to keep them from kicking, called a “hobble”. Not that I’ve ever used one, but I kow they are out there. I find that alot of things I need for my farm critters, I have to get via mail order. Jeffers Livestock and Hoegger Goat Supply are two good places. Our nearest big town has one stop light, and the town boasts havng the ONLY stoplight in the county! I love rural life and the “big town” at the top of the mountain!

Hooray ! You got some milk on your first milking ! When I had dairy goats the first milking of a doe was usually the most difficult milking . One particular doe did NOT want to be milked. Period. I used every trick in the book, and I have many, many expert friends….but this doe would not go peacefully to her milking, nor allow herself to be milked. Many a freezing morning I was covered in hot milk quickly freezing on me. One day, as I had her front AND back legs tied to the milking stand, her head enclosed in the standard milk stand which allowed her to eat her morning ration of grain…gosh darn it, she wobbled her whole dang body and leaned and swayed. THAT DID IT!!!! I yelled, “If you kick that bucket you are goin’ to the auction”, and for the very first time I realized where the term “kick the bucket ” came from. In the dairy business, if you have a wild , uncontrollable animal you cannot milk, they go to the auction, a place where animals bought usually end up in the stew pot.
Anyway, miraculously, that milking was the last difficult milking from her. We made our peace…I made a lot of goat milk soap, and we were happy.KathyB.

:butterfly: Been there, done that. Just be patient and you will get the hang of milking, and so will Clover. Talk to her and rub her udder before trying to milk her.

Props to your dad, who is obviously a rockin milker 🙂 You too, you too!!! But seriously, he knows what he’s doing. Gets right down to business.
You bring back such memories. I spent my childhood milking LOTS of goats (thanks mom) and I don’t miss it one bit. Me, I’ll stick to falling off my horse and hitting my head on a rock (yesterday) rather than milk another goat, lol.
But you keep on keeping on girl, you give us a lot of laughs over here in Arizona. We love ya!
