we're off - gots to get me some gravel for the mud poop soup out there. wow! what a storm!

java - did you get your 3am wake up call from the thunder and lightening??? yikes!

Yes we did get thunder. We had one rip-roaring long, drawn-out thunder boom. Then it was over. But it was enough to wake me up :/

OMG can we say goat hooters here ? LOL wow I wish I had a milker like that to, I hope my girls grow up that big and give that much do u think I can copy this pic and hang it in my milk shed for my girls to see what they need to grow in to

So what kind of cheese are you making? Do you manage to make enough cheese for all year, or do you still buy some in the off season? We gobbled up what I made so fast,..... But teenage boys tend to eat a lot. Just in pizza alone.....

What time of year do you get your piglets? I'm looking forward to the pig stories already.

hey baby!

i just started a fresh cheese - the "chevre" that you get as "goat cheese" in the store. i made one a couple days ago but then we snarfed it down. i've missed it all winter! we used it on pizza and nachos - and then one day i heated it up and poured salsa over it! yum!!!

so i'm making another with the fiasco farm recipe. it cant be easier. i milked out all the ladies, strained it, added some rennet (i have the tablets) and not even 1/4tsp of culture and am letting it sit over nite. tomorrow i'll strain thru cheese cloth and ta-da! cheese


we might get our pigs pretty soon - it will be early but we arent missing the Tamworths again.. no siree bob. its a great heritage breed thats known for.. you guessed it.. bacon!

i keep wanting to get stuff done outside but we've been having passing thunder and lightening.. so i'm cleaning the kitchen and starting on some laundry. yawns-ville.....

It's totally clear up my way if you want to work outside I have flower beds that need mulched. The sun just came out too

 

[glenolam]

Pssssshhhh....in my neck o'the woods it was snowing today.

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

SNOWING!?!?? yikes! btw, um... i'd rather not think of you as a dairy producer

Looks like how I looked after my milk came in for little g.

ha! and no i'm not milking you now or ever. that goes for the rest of ya also! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


java - i'll be right there! whoooot! wow what a surprise when i went out this morning - it was like 60* or something. i had to go back in and put on shorts to finish chores!

mlynd - tell your ladies "this is what a WINNER looks like!"

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Heh, I think having been a lactating mom x three times really helped me understand milking goats. I used to be able to shoot it across the room at Hubby and I don't mean the goats.

He would DIE if he knew I told you guys.
