DH is working on becoming a milkmaid, lol. (don't tell him I said that!) The girls aren't real sure about him yet so they haven't been real generous with their offerings. And, he milked yesterday morning without giving them any feed because he "couldn't find it". Oh dear! First of all, I put feed in the milk room in a metal garbage can where it was kept previously for YEARS. Second - he knows where the feed trailer is and has been in and out of it a gazillion times. So walk over there and get some feed if you can't find the feed can which is barely 4 feet from the milk stand. That might be why he got a mere 1/2 gallon from TWO does yesterday morning - my two BEST does. We'll see if this morning goes any differently for them. It's gonna take time for all of them to get accustomed to the new routine. Even with my gripe session I do appreciate his help!
The milk is stacking up on us so I need to get even more creative with it. DH's mom loves it and she lives right across the street from campus so I need to bring some to her. I also have a neighbor who is happy to trade home made tortillas for home grown milk. I need to call her too. I'm thinking of a Craigslist post offering some for sale to soap makers. Dunno if it'll fly or not but I guess it's worth a try.
Need to go pick up feed today. I'm sure that expense will spur me on to try and sell more goats. I've got a gorgeous little buck that I really wanted to use on some gals this fall, but I might go ahead and try to sell him with a little doe as a goat herd "starter package." Or not, lol.
Thankfully, the garden is in semi-recovery stage! I'm still looking for areas that I can plant more 'stuff' in. Unfortunately, every time I come up with an idea to use a different pen for a garden I come up with just as many reasons why it won't work there.
I'll keep pondering I guess.
That stuff sounds delicious!
but just didn't want to put the work into it. Now he's proven it to himself.
That is fantastic! Good for both of you!
So they froze.
