This morning's milking went a little more smoothly that yesterday's. Tinkerbell is very clever and seems to be getting the hang of our routine. Of course, it is really nice to have Justin there to talk and pat her while I milk. Today she was more relaxed. Now I just have to get these milking fingers back in shape so I can get the chore done faster for her.
Other than our mild success on the stanchion I am happy to report that by tomorrow morning we will have more than enough milk to make a good amount of soft goat cheese! I am going to get the mesophilic starter today. Spreadable cheese is only the beginning! Soon we will have yogurt, cheddar, kefir, moldy cheese, and ice cream. This farm girl loves her dairy products and her farm guy loves his ice cream. Thanks to Tinkerbell for making it possible on a very small budget!
On another exciting note, we will be putting in our first grass seed to make a small grass pasture for the goats and chickens. I didn't think this would be a possibility for us, but after having the goats and meat chickens clean out a spot that was heavily grown over by manzanita and deer brush we have a nice sunny patch to start a pasture. This might not seem like a big deal, but on a 5 acre property that is composed of 80% manzanita forest any little victory is celebrated. The cool thing about all this is the minimal amount of human effort that went into clearing the spot. All we have to do now is saw out the large trunks of manzanita and cut them up for firewood. Space for pasture and warmth for the winter, its a win-win! I'll try to document the process for ya'll.
