Well with 2 goats producing 1 gallon a day between the 2 girls and even with a family of 6 the milk is well lets just say bursting out my fridge.
Told the kids to make milkshakes , smoothies , what ever just make some disapear.
In process right now is well 2 gallons of soft goat cheese ready to get put into cheese cloth to hang for the day. Started that yesterday when I had no jars left to put milk into.
You know when I do have to buy goat milk in parts of the year I have no goats in milk I hate the prices it sells for $3.50 L.
First year I canned some yuck that was bad. Then I froze some for a few years Sometimes it's fine and other times it de frosts all lumpy don't know why.
With not being able to give milk away due to regulations is not easy. Sometimes I go out and come back if you get my meaning and friends come over and milk diapears
and before you know it they have some really good soft goat cheese.
But I have no idea how that happens and sometimes I have to throw it away.
Think I will have to spend some time this week makeing some hard cheese , just takes more time to get done.
I have 2 girls coming in to milk and look after my animals,chickens when I go on holidays. One girl I sold her her first goat when she was 16 years old and I helped with learing how to milk. Any way she is coming over in the mornings to milk so I know my milk production should stay good and then it just leaves my new to milking friend to milk in the night time when there is not as much milk so should work out just fine.
So best go sort out some cheese.
