January and February are the low months for milk production. The does will starting kidding in March this year and our milk production will finally start going back up. Goats are not like cows. They do not come into season all year round like cows do. The does come into heat in the fall and after they are bred they will kid five months later. In order to give them some time off, we try to dry them up 60 days before they are scheduled to have their kids. We try to spread the breeding out as much as possible, but there is still this two month time when the milk production is down. But those of you who have been missing us in some of the stores in Seattle will see us back on the shelves as soon as the kids arrive! By the way, come visit the farm during the Spring and early summer if you want to see the kids. They are adorable.
