@Baymule and her DH just left. They drove up to buy some goat milk and goat milk Kefir.

They brought grass fed hamburgers & some of the fixin's.

When they got here I was making Mozzarella cheese, to take to our neighbors, as a thank you for the work he did yesterday.

While I was working, I started pulling out samples, of things I had made:
Beauty berry Jelly
Kefir
Cheese
Goat milk butter
Cultured Pickles

I also gave them samples of two jellies, that I bought last week, when we went to the Poultry Trade show:
"The Cowgirl" - HOT Spicy jelly. Oh so good!
"Lemon/Lavender" - Tangy lemon jelly with lemon zest and lavender buds. Mmm! Yummy!

While they were here, Keagan, our 18 pound, short hair cat jumped up and laid on his favorite sleeping bed/box. I just had to take a photo!

Next time we are going to Bay's for fun & conversation. I'm sure we will be taking some goat milk & Kefir with us!

I've been trying! Actually today, when they were going on about all the goat milk foods I make, I suggested she try milking her Ewe, when she lambs in the next month - after her colostrum has finished. So, then Bay's DH said, "Why? We can get our milk, Kefir & cheese here!"

Wow CntryBoy! That's really generous of you! Which one are you sending?

 

[CntryBoy777]

None of the ones I have would do her any good, but I'd be more than Glad to pitch in on a couple down that way....y'all will be having some in the spring....so, just let me know a price...

Clearly you need to charge so much that it is cheaper and worth her while to do it herself

Like my darling husband said, we can buy it from Devonviolet! A few more customers would sure help her out on the feed bill! It's mighty nice that ya'll are taking up a collection, I'll use it to buy another sheep!

We found a good source at one of the Amish farms so that made our decision to not get a dairy goat easier.

I do want a couple of brush goats though.

Keagan is such a cutie. why is it that cats and small children both love boxes?
so glad you, baymule and your dh's had such a good visit. maybe someday she will decide to get a goat or two. ya never know what life has in store...
