Maggie is at day 150..... :pop

DS(10) and I made our 1st batch of Chevre cheese- started it last night and finished it this morning- we just sampled it plain and it is pretty good. Will have to try some additions and see what everyone thinks!

Is there anything we can do with the whey? The one book I am currently reading says you can't use the whey to make Ricotta cheese.

Congrats on your Chevre! I like Gaelic and Chives.... want to do orange and cranberries ... we do a lot of honey and nuts and maple syrup with walnut.

So today is actually day 146 but that no longer matters because at 2 pm- Maggie went into labor- she waited until everyone was home so she would have lots of attention.......little did we know that it would be all hands on deck plus a friend!!!

:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee

Maggie was hiding(or maybe not) SIX kids :epshe did excellent and had 4 bucklings and 2 doelings......1 came out breech and the 5th and 6th ones tried to come out together....the 6th one's sack got broken in the process but we had her out shortly after the 5th(who is the biggest of all and a buckling)

Have to go feed, will post pictures once my phone is charged and I can transfer pictures ;)
