We're in Canada so you probably have a different type of grape than we have but we've got ours spaced 3-4 feet apart. The trellising has posts about 10 feet apart and we have three sets of wires running across at 1.5 feet, 3 feet and 4.5 feet that we train the vines to. Our grapes are wine...

:weee Can't wait to see pictures of your new charges and see how you make out with the milking. I was thinking of Shetlands too, there is a breeder close to where our acreage is but we are a few years away from moving there so I'm looking forward to learning with you...

My DD and I have been using the Diva cup for about a year now. She has a light flow and can get away with changing it twice a day but I've usually got a couple of heavy days that mean I will be emptying it every hour or two. Before using the cup I would be changing out both tampon and pad...

I'm told that Icelandic sheep can be very milky, easy to manage and come in lots of pretty colors. Are there any Icelandic breeders in your area? (Link http://www.isbona.com/) Another way to do it is artificial insemination but I'm not sure what's involved there. Can't wait to hear how you...

Hi there, I'm in Ontario too and while I don't currently have any sheep, that is my plan when we move to the country full time. I LOVE sheeps milk cheese :drool Last year I spoke with Larry Kupecz of the Ontario Dairy Sheep Association and he said that you can milk any sheep that you can...

For snacks at the office I used to keep granola bars (until I read what as in them :/) but I've found Larabar's at my local health food store and they are great for that mid afternoon energy slump! There are lots of varieties but they are basically made from fruit and nuts no preservatives and...

Indeed! And a couple of cheese factories too - I wonder if we should get some sheep or goats to supply the cheese factories? :D
