The third one...tri-colored and Spotted.... Are you sure you don't want another buck???

I have been watching that buck on her website for 3 months, but I really don't/can't/won't get another buck.

football already???? I am just starting to get maybe interested. I actually wanted to watch the superbowl last season and actually enjoyed watching it - I kinda surprised myself.

Anyway, we are Texans fans down here - my best friend is a die hard!!

I like the Texans. Arian Foster is awesome.

Can imagine thats going to be a party esp if the right teams are there

Only ever watched 1 game of your football - can you imagine my suprise seeing half of each side coming off the pitch after only 1 minute 45 seconds of play

I am so bored today.........kids are being good.....stuck inside while they nap.......don't want to do house work.......will the weekend ever make it?????

I'm going to list my current animals just to pass the time:

10 Goats (Stella, Luna, Jazz, Jess, Edle, Bell, Freckles, Blue Eyes, Gunner, Rockey)

1 Horse - Mistie

14 Chickens (Kellogs the rooster, Yeti, Creolle, Spitz and the rest are unnamed)

3 Dogs (Sugar, Sissy, Cheyenne)

2 Cats (Marvin and Max)

Sold the last 2 babies today. Freckles and Blue eyes are going to a new home together. Now I have 3 goats to milk. The neighbor wants to buy Luna and Stella now so as soon as he gets his pen built he gets to milk them and I will only have one to milk. After Luna and Stella go to their new home, I will only have registered goats and can go forward with breeding the Kinders.

I am going from 10 goats down to 6 in a matter of weeks. What will I do with the extra space??? Oh I know, I will have more babies!!

I am planning on doing an October breeding with Bell and Edle so I will have some March babies! Jazz and Jess are not old enough to breed yet.

Didn't know you are selling Luna also. I am helping my neighbor with her milking chore tonight and tomorrow and I get to keep the 1/2+ gal milk (total). I am thinking about making mozzarella with the milk but I don't have rennet. Wonder if I can freeze the milk till I get some? Otherwise, I guess we'll just have to drink the milk and wait for next opportunity to milk again.

Catahoula, I highly recommend you make the easy peasy farmers cheese! It is soooooooo good and easy! Just heat the fresh milk up to 185 degrees for a few minutes and then add vinegar and drain the curds in a tea towel. I mixed in jalapenos in my last batch and it is so good and easy. Look in the recipe section for the exact measurements. I think it tastes a lot like mozzarella but without the rennet. I haven't tried making any cheese with my frozen milk yet.

I found the link, it is in post #9 http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20541

I didn't know I was selling Luna until the neighbor was interested in her. That will leave me with Jazz as my only nubian but I do have the Kinders that I am so excited about breeding. Bell (Jesse's mom, my new Kinder doe) is milking more milk right now for me than my nubians and she has been in milk since March!!! I really think I am going to fall in love with the Kinder breed.

edited to add the link.

We tried the milk last night...it didn't taste as good as I remembered.... Thought maybe it wasn't cold enough. Well, we had some this morning...still didn't taste right. Maybe I did something wrong? Will be milking Ducky (oh yeah, Jazz's mom) this morning also. I will try making cheese if the new batch still tasted funny. Not offensive but just has a little different taste...enough to know it is not cow milk. :/
I had to look up what Kinders are. Cute looking goats.
Today we will try to trim Jac's scurs. It is about two inches long on one side. Poor guy. He is not going to like us after that.
Well, heading out to milk Ducky now.
