Today, I used my new electric cream separator to separate cream from 3 gallons of milk. Ended up with a little over a quart of heavy cream, which is currently being made into BUTTER. Then, I used the byproduct (not skim, like maybe 2-3%) to make 3 pounds of paneer cheese.
​
On a related note, as of yesterday I have 2 gallons of milk PER DAY to use outside of the barn. Because of this excess, I have renewed my pet milk license with the Indiana State Chemist office (Indiana License #270829). I now have raw Nigerian Dwarf milk (running 6-8% butterfat) available fresh or frozen NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Great for soap and crafts and for feeding animals. Clean, annually tested herd. $5 per half gallon. Pick up at the farm by appointment only.

Happy Retirement Day to Jasper Pine SHH Trixie 1*M!
Trixie was our very first doe. She has kidded 8 times, with the last time being TODAY (1B/1D) and she has given me lots of gorgeous daughters and granddaughters and great granddaughters. She is nine years old this year and I feel like it's time for her to retire so she can live out the rest of her days on the farm. Thank you Trixie!!! Rest now <3 <3 

I am pleased to announced that we have another Superior Genetics doe this year.
