Adding a goat

It looks like we will soon be adding a new goat to our mix. My husband found a Nubian/Alpine cross doe for sale on Craigs list. When we spoke on the phone, she mentioned that that the doe listed was sold but she was selling its daughter. Sounds even better to me! This lady lives abot 50 minutes away so it won't be to hard to pick the doe up. So far she sounds great. She is 3 years old and produces about 1 to 2 gallons a day. We have had such a hard time finding a milk goat here in Central Illinois. Most folks around here want boer goats. Well, I guess I just want to be different. We already have five fainting goats and we just adore them. They work great for keeping things trimed up but we really need the milk. My son was allergic to cows milk and did great with goats milk. I would really like to continue with goats milk. One store in our little burg carried canned goats milk but decided that it was not worth carrying anymore. I am hoping this is the answer.
