Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

had to pick up a new scale as our old one gave out- so we have to go through and weigh all the kids to see how everyone is doing.

collected enough milk from Rio to make a batch of Chevre cheese- was ready to sample when I got home from work this afternoon- it turned out very yummy!

Our kids get everything right now

All our kids are doing pretty well nursing from their dams- the littlest kids of Coco's wont take a bottle from us anymore but their tummies are full when we check...I'll know better how they are doing once I can weigh them.

I tried to get some milk out of Bang yesterday afternoon and got nothing... But the two kids are bouncing around and both nursed right after I tried so they must be getting all of it.

they are so funny to watch! Munchkin(mini-mancha) just loves to hang around us and will climb right up into our lap when we sit down in the pasture.

haven't had much time to post- life has been extra crazy here to say the least. Goats have all been doing pretty well and kids are growing. Have to get weights again when I get a spare minute Coco decided about 2 weeks ago not to let all her kids nurse so we have 3 sometimes 4 bottle babies to feed....DD and I told her she shouldn't have had so many!!!!

Just stopped in quick to ask if any of the sheep people have any good recipes to make cheese( in particular cream cheese) using sheep milk. A friend of ours started raising sheep and she wants to use about 5 gallons of milk up. @norseofcourse @Sheepshape and anyone else with sheep
