Thread: Goat Butter and Cheese

  1. #1

    Default Goat Butter and Cheese

    Mrs. S makes great butter and cheese from our milk goats here on the farm. It is so rich and delicious. Anybody else use goat's milk? Here is a pic of one of our milk goats, her name is Karma.

    Cool Well...

    I was served milk by an old goat once, does that count? Seriously though, the only goat cheese I've eaten was on a Pappa John's Pizza, anyway I believe they use goat cheese.

    It's been many, many years but we had milk goats when I was a lad. Used the milk for drinking and cooking. Didn't make cheese or butter.

    I'll bet she's a really mean goat, too. I've always heard Karma can be a b****h sometimes.

    Yup was a master showman in the tri-state area when I was in high school,got into Boers for a while ,but just like goats in general,they really are an all around general purpose animal.

    We had nubians growing up too. We drank the milk and made cheese and butter. We also sold the milk. The cheese was the best thing on the planet. We often experimented by adding things to it. Yum. Now I'm hungry for it.

    I so envy you Spartan. I keep wondering if I got a couple of pygmy dairy goats if I could convince the neighborhood association that they are just funny looking dogs...

    Pygmy goats? Then the pygmies would show up riding their Shetland ponies. Things could get nasty pretty quick. The association is definitely gonna balk on the ponies. Especially if the pygmies don't clean up when they walk them.

    Ever seen a pygmy goat? They're adorable. And I don't mean puppies and kittens cute, they're right up there at level with baby Koalas. Especially when they get all mad and try to headbutt everything. It's better than TV.

    Oh my gosh, I may have found my newest desire for a pet. Currently a descented skunk is at the top of my list. They are supposed to be like cats. Can you house train a pygmy goat?
