( now must hide it from DH......)
For the first couple of days I milked into an empty tea pitcher that I had sanitized, and filtered the milk through a clean white T-shirt. Our grandmothers and great grandmothers didn't have all the fancy equipment that's available nowadays, and they still milked every day and drank their milk raw. I remember my step-grandmother spraying all the grandchildren with milk when she was milking the cows, and I loved nothing better than the taste of that fresh, raw milkRabbleRoost Farm said:I wish I had had the equipment to milk Cinnamon after she freshened...
I still need to get the stanchion part of the cobbled-together goat stand in working order, and I have to buy a stainless steel milking pail, filters, cleaning supplies...
I like milking. I made pudding (it was crazy chocolately, and I may have accidentally stirred it into fudge by accident, but I liked it) once, after I milked her into a pot and strained it through a paper towel. :/
I wouldn't mind having a couple girls to milk if I had everything together, but I guess that idea's flown the coop for the year. If I could get her to stand still on the stand she probably wouldn't give me a whole lot of anything now that Sugar is older and doesn't need as much milk.
I want to make cheese and yogurt.
I was too afraid to try it straight so I threw it into pudding... Yay for "YOU'LL DIE!!!" media, right?
Unpasteurized is good, I just need to get past the mental block, lol. I was amazed at how thick the milk was too. I've never done anything* quite like THAT before.
