Yup they are for making the crack of cheese known as Mozzarela di bufala. I have 2 in milk that I need to start milking. 2 more are due soon. At the moment we have 12 #waterbuffalo total.

If you're into home automation there is a HACS integration to use Bhyve in #homeassistant. It's an awesome platform to help me keep track and automate things for my home and homestead. I like to think of it as a #smarthomestead.

Yes #waterbuffalo really do like to swim. Lazy morning before getting fed hanging out with the ducks. #homestead #grownostr

I have the Bhyve system. Being able to turn on a zone via the phone is awesome when troubleshooting.

Thanks to #[0] for the #grownostr info and call to action.

We are located in Pilot Hill, CA.

We got our first cows about Oct 2019 and slowly growing. Upto 17 moos, a mic of beef and dairy. 12 water buffalo. We used AI with the cows but recently got a brahma bull for future herd expansion.

The water buffalo and cattle doing some #mobgrazing to clear an area near the road. Getting them trained to hotwire has great benefits. #grownostr #homestead

Rosa our Jersey cow bagging up. She is due soon. #grownostr #homestead #moojuice
