We have a lot of goat milk stocked up, and I love it because you can use it for so many things! From making homemade goat milk yogurt, to DIY Goat Milk Soap, what is not to love about it? This week I am using some of the goat milk that I freeze dried to make these DIY Goat Milk Bath Bombs!
This past week my poor Morty was sick. He ended up with coccidia, which resulted in scour. My main concern when any of my goats get sick is to first figure out the problem and treat it, then prevent dehydration and keep their guts healthy. This Goat Tummy Tamer recipe can both prevent dehydration and help aid in keeping their gut happy.
Even when you make soap all of the time, you can still run into issues. Recently one of my cold process soaps decided it wanted to partially gel in the center.

I have made a lot soap in my lifetime, and while it takes the longest, Homemade liquid soap is my favorite to use. I just love the convenience of a liquid soap over the traditional bar soap. You can use it as hand soap, body wash, or even shampoo. Do not get me wrong, I love a good bar of soap, but to me, nothing beats a good homemade liquid soap.

So, to help out new and potential goat owners I have compiled a list of the most common basic goat terms.
