Hi all,
I milk scrub goats (Nubian influence is predominant) and I plan to start milking our Devons later this spring - I'm waiting for longer days - 28 or 29 hours should be enough  ;D . We are in Fries, Virginia - look for an empty green place on the map - that's why we moved here.
I've made fresh cheeses, yogurt, buttermilk, kefir with the goat milk. Lots of Feta, citric acid Mozz (cultured acidification has failed so far - been reading about pH meters here) ricotta. Used to make chevre a lot, but got bored with the taste. I haven't ever pressed or aged - I'm hoping ya'll will help me step up my game.

lol looks like you have a camera shy cow!

I think you will find all the help you cold ask for and better yet get the help you never knew to ask for.
I have made  mozza, I failed multiple times at the citric mozza but found mrs kk's mozza recipe pretty easy.
Best of luck to you!
