We made cheese!

We did it... we made cheese! And it turned out really well! Here is a photo of the first batch we made. We seasoned portions with lemon pepper, herbes de provence, natural, and garlic & chives. We are so excited about this we can hardly stand it!

Mercedes kidded this week as well. One large, maybe extra large buck kid. Both she and the kid are doing well.




Photos, Photos, & More Photos

What is the quickest way to catch you up on what's been going on at the farm... how about a few photos?

Updates

We have been busy at the farm, and busy at work. So much that we lost track of doing updates on the blog! Sorry to leave everyone in the dark! Our kid total so far this year is 28 kids. We've had 21 bucks (boys) and 8 does (girls).

Our latest additions were a set of twin bucks from Wisteria, another set of twins (one buck, one doe) from Lynn and just yesterday a huge single buck kid from Mercedes. Our kidding seasons should be coming to a close. We do have 2 does that may be bred, but we will have to wait and see. We have the vet coming out in a few days to take a look at them and see if indeed they are pregnant. If they are, we may have "Snubians" on our hands. What is a Snubian? It's a Saanen crossed with a Nubian!

We'll try to post photos of all of the new kids very soon. It's hard to believe, but our spring/summer calendar is already filling up with meetings, shows and other events. We are hoping to plan in some travel time this summer and fall as well. We'll see how that goes!
