Got milk?


We do!  Meet Avelanna.


She is a yearling Oberhasli, already in milk!  Mickey found her on craigslist, and since we brought her home, she has made herself right at home.




She especially loves munching pine! (She prefers it to grains actually.)


She has been giving us 6 to 7 cups of milk a day.  I (Sarah) have been subsisting on primarily milk and loving it!



Mickey built her a beautiful milking stand!



She really doesn't mind that stanchion as long as there's food on the other side!


Meanwhile, Hazel and Corylus get into the salt lick we bought them.



We are thrilled to go from "none of our own milk" to "all of our own milk, cream, and cheese" (when I take the chance to make cheese).
