Fresh Goat Milk!

So we milked our goats for the first time. It is taking a little getting used to because we are hand milking but we are all learning. We built our own milking stand. It was pretty simple to make. We used all recycled materials from wood we had on hand already. We also made our first goat milk cheese. This is a simple cheese made with milk and vinegar. 

First we cooked the milk to the right temperature.

After the vinegar is added the milk makes curds and whey.

Letting the whey drip out through the cheese cloth.

This is the cheese before any seasoning is added. It tastes like ricotta.

This is the finished cheese with added pink salt and dill.

This will go great with scrambled eggs.
