so i was thinking about it for a while and finally got to it. i made a youtube channel.
the only videos i have up so far are on the goats, really. i will have many other topics and animals on soon enough though. about to work on videos of how i make goat cheese, making twine&yarn baskets, and a video of my soon to be rabbit colony.
here is the link (it should be anyhow. lol)

i welcome comments. here and on youtube. and if anyone has any suggestions of things they would like to see videos of i am trying to make a list. i want to do "how to" type things. especially making things from scratch, cooking, farming, etc. but any and all suggestions and comments are welcome. thanks!

I subscribed! I will be looking for info on "breaking" a goat to milk or a cow to milk--by hand.

i will try and have somethin up soon to help you out. i know how difficult milking can be with four hooves going every which way.
are you having any specific problems that i could address?

*perks* Twine baskets?? Like from bailing twine? Like bailing twine that was taken off of hay bales???

I'd love to know! I made a wreath out of it... but that isn't really useful in the long term...

Not yet. Just thinking ahead. Thanks!

okay, i will try and think of everything i dealt with when i've had new milkers.

yes baskets from baling twine. we save all the twine off the bales after we feed em out so i have almost a whole 50 pound feed sack full of "rings" haha. will try and work on that video soon.

so much fun! A new craft!! Course we cut most of ours, rather than slip them off, hopefully that won't matter...
Do you have a picture of one of the baskets you can post?? I'd love to see one!!

 

[ohiogoatgirl]

well we just pull em off in the tied ring. but i cut the knots off and use the rest for the baskets. have to see if i can post some pics on here... lol

i think this should take you to some pics of the ones i made:

Awesome! I have a lot of junk yarn (redheart... good for nothing but crafts!) that I could work with this! I can't wait to see your instructions!!
