butter making

Blind Hog and Acorn capped off a fun-filled week by getting up early today to milk goats, pick 4 gallons of blueberries at a nearby berry farm, and then sort-load-and drive goats to today's livestock sale about 16 miles away.

On top of that, the high heat,humidity, and intermittent rain showers made for a lovely work environment.

Good news is the broiler chicks are outside- they love their pen and can run around and flap their pudgy wings.  Blind Hog has a pan of brownies calling his name and Acorn does not want to say how many of the blueberry muffins she baked are already "missing..."

Check out the pictures for Acorn's goat butter process. Is it somewhat messy but the results are delicious!
