    Since there has been no photographic evidence of lagomorph ownership amongst the CathInfo crowd, here's one of ours...a Lionhead.


    Aw, cute! Is it possible to use it's fur to spin? We had some angora rabbits once that had very luxurious fur for spinning.

    Alright, SOS, here are some goats!
    The first one is our boer buck, Avenger. He's quite the character. The second one (tan and white) is one of our milk goats, Daisy. She wonderful to milk, but it's a rodeo trying to catch her. The third one is my favorite goat, Dede, and her kid.


    So cute!  And your buck is quite handsome.  I need to find some goat photos of mine to post- I know I have some cute Angora and Pygmy pictures.  How much milk does Daisy yield at peak lactation?  I've wanted a milk goat but have contented myself with my does for now- but let's face it, Angoras and Pygmies are not the best dairy breeds out there!  I milk my ewes too.

    Lionheads only have wool on their manes and sometimes have a ruffle on the bottom when they are grown, so typically are not used for spinning.  But we also have French Angoras and their wool is quite excellent for spinning.  I often blend it with my Finn wool.

    We got 2 gallons from her for awhile. That seems like quite a bit, but a dairy goat with excellent genes can produce even more. Before we had our nubians, my mom had an alpine that produced large amounts of milk. We'd take a gallon off her a day easily even while she was nursing an orphaned calf.

    I like the milk from nubians better, but in my experience (though it's limited) alpines will give a more generous amount in general.

    • My family lived down the road from a goat dairy when I was in my teens. I learned that I don't mind goat milk at all as long as I don't have to drink it.

    I also raised goats for a while for 4-H.

    My only pets now are dust bunnies.

    • I never realized the round the clock work farm animals took until I stayed on a farm. I remember a couples times coming down for breakfast and there had already been a crisis in the barn.

    • Special delivery...

    Just born last evening, she has a twin sister also that looks exactly like her.  She's a purebred brown Finn lamb being licked off by her mom in the photo.
