Well, it was about a month late, but our calf, T-Bone, is separated from Sugar and we are finally milking again after 5+ months of giving the calf all of it. She gave 2.5 gallons this morning with about 1/3 cream. This is the 18th month of her lactation. Wow! I certainly didn't expect that. I thought we'd be doing good to get a gallon a day. We're only going to milk once a day so that will come down a bit, probably to around 2 gallons. We should be making lots of cheese. I'm thinking maybe a Swiss this weekend.
We have some home improvement things that we wanted to get done this fall and didn't, but all our farm stuff is wrapped up and our woodshed is full. We have a chest freezer that is full to the brim of beef and another full of lamb, chicken, corn and bone broth. We are truly blessed. God is good.
Be well.
