Hi there,
I'm Shari, aka threalshari, and am one of the Four Country Gals. We're four "old ladies" well, let's put it this way... most of us are drawing SS, so come to your own conclusions.
A couple of years ago, we were given two Nubian doelings. Last fall I bred them to a 50/50 Boer/Nubian buck. We got two sets of twins... so now I'm milking regularly, as the kids are all weaned. Funny how milking leads to cheese making.
We also have a flock of 30 or so Polypay/Suffolk sheep, which we raise for an ethnic market.
Add to that a few rabbits for our own meat, a flock of chickens for eggs and meat, and a young heifer to be bred this summer (her grandmother made the best burger), and a Certified Organic Produce garden... you could say we're pretty self-sufficient.
So, I'm here to learn about making cheese from goats milk. Our milk is very sweet and has no "goatiness".
If you check my profile, I've added our web site.
Just by what I've seen so far... I'll have my head in here forever.
