Saturday at the Celebrity Dairy

Well Linda & I made it to Siler City, NC and found her Aunt Frances at the new Independent Living facility she has just moved into. Had a nice time talking about family stuff and had a great lunch.

Later in the afternoon we checked in to the Celebrity Dairy B & B and spent some time outside with the goats. They have 64 milk goats and their utters were really large with milk. When it came time to milk them 18 were directed into the milking room and I thought it was so great that they seemed to know exactly what to do going up a ramp and sticking their heads through metal bars to get at the food and triggering a device that closed on their neck preventing her from leaving that station until the neck device was released. The attendant has two nozzles that slip onto the two teats and it is all milked in a minute or two.

The most fun so far was playing with the baby goats. They were so friendly and all of them wanted attention at the same time. I hugged more goats today than I think I ever have before. I wish I had 6 or 8 of them at home but that would not be practical so I guess we will have to keep coming back to this B & B to get our goat fix.

I understand that they will have goat cheese available tomorrow morning and I will be getting some to carry home. It is almost time to find the bed and call it a day so take care blog family and I will be back later tomorrow probably after we get home and then I can post some great pictures of the goats and a large pen of beautiful chickens too. Good night folks.
