The whole time we were out there cutting up the wood I kept wondering how inappropriate it would be for me to kiss that man! Although DH is so grateful he might just be ok with it. :gig

:woot on the canning jars! And all that good work you guys have been doing!!

Yep. The one that had mastitis (Betsy) is all cleared up. She's back to her nutzo self. Aka, the goat that sounds like some kind of dying cow man. But we had to dry her up :( The good news is that we can breed her this fall and she'll be an even better milker next spring. The bad news is that DH...

I've discovered that I have serious foraging envy when it comes to the superpowers you seem to possess Free!

I ended up taking a little bit of a break from things for a few weeks. Honestly everything with the girls was really more emotionally taxing on me than I had even realized. I had gotten so behind on things at the homestead b/c I was spending so much time away with them that I ended up taking a...

That's where you guys got your tomatoes? I didn't think about asking them for seconds! We have those stands everywhere around here too!

Tornado? Yikes!

All of our corn is now lying on the ground. :( Luckily a lot of was pretty close to being ready to pick anyway. We live up on a ridge so it always makes the storm sound worse than it is. When we first moved here the first storm we had I thought the whole house was gonna blow over :hide That was...

And is there a thread somewhere explaining what farmers cheese is? I'm new to this whole what cheese is soppused to taste like thing (i.e. NOT orange, rubbery and wrapped in plastic) :sick

:thumbsup

Yay for real butter! :lol: We're trying to work out our freezer space so hopefully we can start doing the same thing and buy oodles when its on sale. Hmmm...so I think the consenus is that if I can find a cheaper and well working seperator I should buy in bulk and then send them all out to...

I know SD. That's kinda our dilema too. We're trying to justify the price, b/c I don't want to get one and then find that for some reason its still not producing enough to make it worth it and then we have lots of skim milk left over and just dropped a pretty penny. But we just don't have the...

Sweet!!

Yea, that's what we're doing but it just takes a very long time to collect enough. I've talked to a few people with cream seperators and they really liked theirs. It's kind of a splurge item for us but I think it will just make the job a little easier. I told DH that I wanted him to buy me one...

I searched through some old threads on this topic and most were at least a year old. Although there was a recent one. I did learn that I need one that is specifically for goats or has a goat setting. But I was just wondering if anyone here actually has one (for goats)? Or knew of a good brand or...

That does make sense though that the asthma, hers certaintly seemed to get worse (ie like you said with the allergy attacks she usually had to use her inhaler too). Glad everything worked out for you. And sorry you have to deal with all of this. :(

Yes, I think the addition of ambulance bills should help! :gig I may have to tell my aunt to use that one sometime! And :weee on the backing down part! Glad your good to go! I don't pretend to know everything, and I think the best thing a person can do is realize their own ignorance in a lot...

You've already gotten some good advice, so all I can say is :hugs :hugs

Hopefully people will become more and more aware of these situations :hu But I never could understand why people get upset over something like refusing a snack. If someone says no to something because of________, or even if they don't give you a reason, who cares? If they say they can't then...

My aunt also has severe allergies to soy, among many other things. From experience I can tell ya some people just DO NOT get it and probably never will. And it really really really irritates me when people insist on "Oh you can't just take one bite?" or "Well just a couple of days of it won't...
