I wonder how the long ears would fair in your cold winters (frost bite?). <br />I don't do the bulk of the shopping, but share in the cooking, and we have been analyzing and re-analyzing our buying habits, looking for things we already eat that we can produce, grow or make ourselves. (pasta tonight!) We had a Oberhausli doe that we sold (regretted it as soon as we had done it) and will none the less try freshening our two pygora (fiber) and see what we are able to get out of them in the spring. Who knows, perhaps next year we can be making cheese and such! <br />My dad is making a trip up to AK later this fall, he said I could go but unless I get laid off.... <br />It sounds like your ramblings are like ours.. fun to see/hear how you are feeding your family. <br />good luck with your goats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-38442225496967480432010-10-14T11:52:12.168-08:002010-10-14T11:52:12.168-08:00I just love that you have your own salmon.

I made crackers a few times last winter and they turned out great. My biggest complaint was that they didn't keep well. <br /><br />Michaele, I love the floppy Nubian ears as well. When I was first looking at goat breeds, a goat vet told me that she thought they were the noisiest, but if I were to raise one other breed, I'd have to go for a couple floppy ears myself.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124854790635683665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-51906662156603125182010-10-13T17:31:51.442-08:002010-10-13T17:31:51.442-08:00I find your post very inspiring.
