And honestly, I'll probably still take the winter off next year, but I'll have to make more room in the freezer for the off months.<br /><br />Erin, we have no problem with extra milk. If we get overloaded, it gets made into cheese and if we REALLY get too much, there are friends and chickens that will gladly take it. If/when we ever get into hard, aged cheeses, I'll be needing MORE milk.<br /><br />Kathy, I always tell myself that he's an "outdoor" cat and that I have to accept it as that...but it's still difficult when he goes "missing". <br /><br />Tami, I knew that was pretty high, but we usually get totally screwed on groceries where we are anyhow.<br /><br />Rivenfae, if it weren't for our goats we'd save milk for special occasions. <br /><br />Candy C., I thought about doing that this year with my heavy milker, but I just got lazy. And not sure if I'll do it next year as she's getting up in age. But maybe milking through is better than the stress of kidding.<br /><br />Sandy, we'll use powdered milk for baking & cooking, but I've yet to be able to stomach reconstituted powdered milk as just "milk".Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-22305510315664707032013-01-06T14:19:23.716-06:002013-01-06T14:19:23.716-06:00Glad he's back!

Store bought milk is suppose to go up past $6.00 a gallon in the near future. I think my family will also use boxed milk or no milk at all. <br /><br />CR, I'm happy to hear Outside Kitty has returned :-)Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-22875938956205302592013-01-06T10:23:03.133-06:002013-01-06T10:23:03.133-06:00Wow, it's been almost two years since I bought...Wow, it's been almost two years since I bought milk, I had no idea it had gotten that expensive!! I have to admit, I'm STILL milking my goat that freshened in 2011 and didn't breed her this year either as I'm still getting almost 3 quarts a day from her.<br />I'm glad Outside Kitty decided to come back! :)Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-12500903687304152122013-01-06T08:06:24.991-06:002013-01-06T08:06:24.991-06:00I'm not surprised at the cost of that milk it&...I'm not surprised at the cost of that milk it's nuts right now, so I have not bought any milk from the stores of late other than canned milk when I can find it cheap.

The price of store milk is ridiculous! I order from a dairy but that's not a "fresh" variety either since it's "city milk" and all the laws that go with that. Our closest real thing is about 2 hours away and costs a fortune to buy into their "plan", ugh. Outside kitty doesn't know how good he has it yet!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-91292467215249730042013-01-06T07:23:00.560-06:002013-01-06T07:23:00.560-06:00The thing is with the store bought milk, it's ...The thing is with the store bought milk, it's so far from real milk that it's . . . well, not even milk. And it won't give you and/or your family anywhere near the nutrients that your "homegrown" milk will. I think you need six or seven more goats so you'll never be out of milk. (Did Paul just say he's gonna block me from your blog?) <br /><br />Those "outside kitties" can drive ya crazy, can't they? A couple of years ago, we had a really big, all-white cat that had snuggled in to our baled straw stack in the back. We fed him/her twice a day and thought we had acquired a good barn cat (although we don't technically have a barn) but one day . . . no big, all-white cat. Ne'er to be seen again.

I am so glad I have my cow and dairy barn (and someone else who milks her) just down the road. Too bad you don't live here - there are at least four small dairy goat operations around. Of course, if you lived here you'd freeze your bum off, but there's always a trade. I'd feel a whole lot better about paying the price for store-bought milk if I knew that the dairy farmers got a better cut of it. I'm not interested in supporting the middle guy.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.com
