Now that's a darn good idea Vicki; the food coloring idea. From the responses I've received on this subject (including a few warnings not to sell for human consumption), I'm thinking that I'll let the goat milk I have go for $4.00 per gallon. This was agreed upon by the guy who asked me in the first place. We are not getting a whole lot of milk in reality so I think it's time I beef up some of the does diets to get a bit better production. Not that we intend to go totally dairy but it would be nice to be getting more out of the original investment. Better than having them serve just one purpose - kudzu eradicators.

It's real strange though how our smallest doe of all produces the most milk. I think that we determined she is a kinder goat. She is jet black, produces triplets and one teat produces more than some of the other does all together. I think this year we are going to work on strengthening our "dairy" lines and perhaps add a few more Nubian does as well as some French Alpine does. A friend of mine out in CA used to use the Nubians specifically for dairy but she said she switched to French Alpines because they were producing more milk over the long run.

Best regards,
