Christmas Gifts for your Goat!

If there is a fellow goat keeper on your gift list How about giving them a batch of goat cookie treats (for their goats to eat). Here is my favorite recipe:

Small batch
3 cups of grain (I use cracked barley or oats)
9.5 ounces of molasses
1 cup of whole wheat flour


Large batch
15 cups of grain (I use cracked barley or oats)
48 ounces of molasses
5 cups whole wheat flour

Mix together adding a small amount of water (making a stiff batter) Spray cookie sheets with cooking oil. Make into small balls. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until they appear done.

The amount of grain can be reduced and raisins, apple, carrot or other favorite item may be substituted.

For people you think would like some simple Goat Milk Soap for Gifts this Christmas!

¾ of a pound of grated soap (homemade or store bought) soften over low heat.

Gradually add in 9 oz of goat milk.

When soap is completely melted, add 2 tsp. powdered benzoin and several drops of fragrance (optional).

Pour into mold and allow to dry completely.
