Why I have my own chickens and a Jersey milk cow.


Mmmmmm.. A Jersey. How much does she produce a day?


Nothing yet, impregnated the cow last week. She should produce more
than I can drink. Will learn to make my own cheese products with the
extra. The cheese making equipment is not cheap. I read, not done it
yet, it takes 17 pounds of milk and one year to make one pound of
parmesan cheese.


sterilized buckets, cheese-cloth and a culture of some kind.
none of these are majorly expensive. some heat source during
the cooler months if your place of production is not insulated
well... the most expensive part is the time it takes to finish or
age and that means storage space. the people who use caves
have it right. mmm!


Bessy plays like a dog, wants to be petted and runs
and romps around.


uhoh,


Sometimes I get a little nervous around her with
her playfulness and hope I do not get hurt.


you gotta show her who's boss. physics, otherwise,
will not be your friend, in this equation.
