What do you use for the farmers cheese?

If you have the tattoo paste, put some on the needles that pierce the ear, put some on the ear itself before you clamp, and add some after you clamp if needed. Rub it in HARD and squeeze the pliers nice and tight. The needles usually come thru the back of the ear.

It was 1 gal of goat milk brought to a rolling boil and then 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar added, we stirred it in and let sit for 15 minutes before draining.

We put the tattoo paste on the ear, applied the tattoo and then rubbed more paste in, the needles did come through.... we now have alien goats :lol:.

Cheeto and Charlie went to their new home today....their new family was excited to get them!

Never did get a chance to try the fudge recipe yet....:( to many other things going to take care of.

Friends gave me some tomato plants to plant and I hate to say this but I don't think they're going to make it.......we will try and plant them and see...

Any suggestions on how to teach a goat its not nice to nip us? Melanie has started doing this when she is eating and has nipped DS(11) twice when he got to close.
