That was very helpful, thank you! I'm very glad I don't have to rely on store-bought milk! We had goats for a while and I loved getting that milk though I never attempted cheese. Right now I milk a cow twice a week at a local farm so I have plenty of fresh milk. I'll try calling about the citric...

I made my first hard cheese today (monterey jack), and I'm hoping it will turn out decently. I want to make some mozzarella tomorrow but I am trying to figure out where to get citric acid as the recipe I am hoping to use calls for some.. Anyone have ideas on places I might be able to find it...

What is considered "qualified" though?

Gave me a great laugh... :lol: .

The easiest thing I have found is to order them through my local feed store. They use a couple different hatcheries and I am able to look through the hatchery cataloge and tell them what I want and they include it in their next order. I am getting some delawares and some black broilers this...

I buy mine at Costco, I assume it is pretty much the same as Sam's.

Just curious what things other homeschoolers get up to. My kids used to be involved in more, but money is tight and classes can be expensive. Right now we have two playgroups every week, and a homeschool co-op that meets on Mondays. The co-op was started this last semester by a few local...

I know exactly how you feel! I am keeping a close eye on one of my does as I have the feeling she is going to go soon, of course that probably means she won't kid for another 2-3wks just to torture me.

Bush must not have had decent speechwriters then, lol.

I have tried to join The Goat Spot since it looks like a good forum. Everytime I click on the "I accept" button to try and register, it just takes me back to the same darn page. I tried emailing an administrator, but I haven't heard back.

We got some elk meat (steaks, I believe), from a friend. I'm looking for a good recipe. He said that because it is so lean, he usually wraps them in bacon. I don't eat pork, so I am looking for a good alternative. Thanks!

The container I got is 5lbs and I think I paid about $6 or $7 for it, but it's been a while so I could be off on that.

I buy sodium carbonate in the pool supply section of pretty much any of the big albertsons or vons.

I don't have any recipes to share as I our first doe just had her kids on Monday, but I am REALLY looking forward to the fresh milk. I got all my milking supplies today in the mail... I felt just like a kid on Christmas!

Well, one is already sold! Hurray! I do still have the darker of the two available, if anyone is interested.

Thanks! I will try that.

One of my does gave birth on the 12th. The babies are absolutely adorable. She had two bucklings and one doeling. We are probably going to keep the doeling, but we will be looking for new homes for the bucklings once they are weaned. Unless someone contacts me before it is done, they will be...

I don't buy "washing soda", I buy sodium carbonate (same thing, just different name). I get it in the pool care section of my local market. Of course, being in southern california where people use their pools year-round makes it easy to find...
