Meet Ginger~

Ginger is a 1 month old Alpine-Nubian cross. She has a future as a milking doe here on the homestead. It will be a while but buying a doeling is a lot less expensive than buying a milking doe. We have purchased another doeling that will be here soon. Plus we are fairly certain Daisy is bred. As long as she has at least one doeling than we should be able to be completely off store milk next year. Any bucklings she has will probably end up in the freezer. I am still praying for a great deal on a milking doe for this year. However, sometimes we must wait for what we want or need. That can be hard to do in our "gotta have it now" culture. I am so glad we moved out here. We are learning good lessons. It is not always easy but it is good.

Ginger is a nice looking little gal! I am sure your children are having fun bottle feeding her.
