Milking East Friesian Dairy Sheep

Getting things in order at our milking stanchion. The sheep are still uncomfortable with it so we brought the lamb over to help calm the sheep down.

Took the time to trim the hooves too. They were in a pretty wet paddock over the winter so the hooves needed some attention.

Getting the hang of milking. There is definitely a learning curve and I'm sure things would move much more quickly if we had a mentor near by to show us thier technique.

All in all, another step forward in our sovereign dairy production.

Eating the first batch of sheep milk yogurt!

Featuring fresh picked strawberries and maple syrup from the homestead, this is our first batch of sheep milk yogurt. We used the crock pot to make it with starter culture from some yogurt we had frozen (purchased from the local Bitcoin meetup with sats). Such a good feeling to know that everything in the bowl was grown and produced right here on the homestead.

How is it?

Tastes wonderful! Tangy rich flavor. We are going to try straining the next batch to thicken it up a bit though.
