Title: I'm "Alice in TX/MO"
Post by: Alice in TX/MO on August 08, 2010, 08:53:50 PM
Hello from southern Missouri (at the moment.)  My name is Alice, and I have a small herd of dairy goats.  In the winters, my goats and I move to South Texas for warmer weather!

I have been cheesemaking for a couple of years now, and I'm getting braver.  I've successfully made chevre, feta, cheddar, manchego, and a few interesting experiments. ;D

This is a fantastic board!

Looking forward to getting to know you and more about cheesemaking.

Alice

Welcome from Southern Michigan.  So much to learn and so little time.  It is very fun to learn new things.

Welcome Alice!
A migrant cheesemaker how kewl! I've never heard of goats moving south for the winter before but they get cold too I guess. Enjoy the forum.

It's not the goats who get too cold, it's me and my milking partner.  He has Raynaud's Syndrome, and he loses circulation in his fingers and toes in the cold.  So.... mobile goat herd.  It helps keep the herd small.  If not for needed to get them all in the trailer, I'd have waaay too many goats.

Well hello Alice, fancy seeing you here (I'm madness on HT)!

This is a great board and has really gotten me off my butt to start some fancier cheeses!

Where in Missouri? We're in Springfield. No animals, just have friends with cows.

Hi Alice, welcome to this forum, I thought it was mostly Canadians who were migratory snowbirds to Southern US, John in Katy/Houston, TX.

LOL.  I'm a native Texan.  I grew up in the hill country of Austin, but hubby is from the coastal plain.  I can't stand the FLATNESS!!

The Ozarks feed my soul.

The hill country is one of the best places on earth! Spent a few years out RR12 in Wimberly, great time, great place.
