I've managed to get back into the swing of exactly why I fell in love with dairy goats.January 31st Maxine gave in and made me a "Goatie Grandma" for the first time. I hope with time you can see exactly why I keep these sweet creatures. I'd first fallen in love with them when fate dropped Andrea James and her wonderful family(James Family Farm) into my life. I'd always loved animals, but having made a major lifestyle change I had to think very carefully about what kind of livestock I can keep. I am practical therefore I have to give consideration to what I will get in return for the input of my time and money. Goats and chickens fit in my plan very well.
Maxine has done an admirable job of providing me with just enough milk to get back into cheese making and milking without being terribly overwhelmed.
I stayed up very late last night making the second of my long overdue batches of cheese. My refrigerator is looking a little stuffed. I've made Feta, Chevre' and ricotta cheese. If any of my friends would like to try this wonderful creation please feel free to ask. I'm sure at some point I will have it coming out of my ears.
