It looks like the kids knew you were needing help and jumped right in. Good for them (and you for teaching them).

thanks, they are very good about helping out when needed, DS(16) went to work today with DH to lend a hand. They aren't afraid to work

Now that is a "Family Affair" that is certainly worth the while.....

most everything we do is a "Family Affair"

So Friday afternoon we weaned all the boys and they weren't very happy with us. They of course are letting us know this very loudly! Pepper is our only doe that doesn't have at least 1 doeling with her yet and is a 1st freshener- she is doing very well on the milk stand a gives almost 1 quart per milking(am & pm).

Saturday we had DD's graduation party-had a very beautiful day and a nice turn out, best thing was that Grandma(my mom) was able to come for it .

Can't say that our bucklings/wethers are super happy with us....we turned almost all the bucklings into wethers on Sat....

We are pasteurizing about 2 gallons of milk every other day- only milking 3 does at this point. We've been making some cheese- tried our hand at Mozzarella- it turned out good and didn't last long so no pictures to share . Just finished draining a batch of Chevre and DD is putting together some stuffed mushrooms(I'll try to get a picture before they get eaten..). Will use the whey to make a batch of Ricotta and DD found an ice cream recipe using whey.

It's been hot/humid here the last few days and we've gotten more rain too...radar shows more storms for tonight...

Wethers get over it. Ram lambs here are cut at an early age, then named Dinner. LOL

Both look delicious. Bruschetta is a favorite of mine and stuffed mushrooms are also a favorite.
I would be a terrible guest as I would have eaten half of everything... forget manners.
