First day milking both East Friesian dairy sheep https://i.imgur.com/nbGP2T6.jpeg Both lambs came along to keep mama ewe comfortable while we milked her for the first time. https://i.imgur.com/KzUbjfi.jpeg Unfortunately, one side of her utter wasn't allowing milk to flow well and put out some clumpy discharge. This ewe's utter had an infection last season so we are pretty sure this issue is related. We will try again tomorrow and continue to observe. #pemaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #sheep #rawmilk #dairy #eastfriesian #dairysheep #lamb #selfsovereignty nostr:nevent1qqspq659kpy0c7leq2u9v254tnr6e663frae68jx6jkk6e6rtlu3akcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsy6q3ua80awknlxp6m368qssqghct6ra6scca4meepumhcswkuwegrqsqqqqqpr6dapk
Second East Friesian Dairy Ewe's Lambs are born. Twins! https://i.imgur.com/sDC2Vxb.jpeg Now that both of the dairy sheep have their lambs we will be milking both daily. https://i.imgur.com/orrzdf2.jpeg Tried putting the lamb in a tote to keep it contained and close to it's mom so she would remain calm during milking. https://i.imgur.com/WCbiDeF.jpeg It's getting easier each day and I'm sure we will have the hang of it in no time. Milking around 3 pints each time from this ewe. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #dairy #rawmilk #milking #eastfriesian #localfood #sheep #lamb nostr:nevent1qqs8s3gra3j4kndxppuzxmkdtxre5pz2ag587d7ugrhe5vwn8gvhx0gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qf5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajsxpqqqqqqzdaymz9
Milking East Friesian Dairy Sheep https://i.imgur.com/OCmsKxB.jpeg Getting things in order at our milking stanchion. The sheep are still uncomfortable with it so we brought the lamb over to help calm the sheep down. https://i.imgur.com/AFKGrcD.jpeg Took the time to trim the hooves too. They were in a pretty wet paddock over the winter so the hooves needed some attention. https://i.imgur.com/45rQhFi.mp4 Getting the hang of milking. There is definitely a learning curve and I'm sure things would move much more quickly if we had a mentor near by to show us thier technique. All in all, another step forward in our sovereign dairy production. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #dairy #rawmilk #milking #eastfriesian #localfood #sheep #lamb nostr:nevent1qqswd852fhye0vufdqdfszpp8jw5rguy4jjnnyy643rspus4k20345spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdqg7wnh7htflnqadcarsggqytu9ap7agvvw6auus7dmug8tw8v5psgqqqqqqscaztz6
First milking of the season of East Friesian Dairy Sheep https://i.imgur.com/ZmaiSrV.jpeg We were caught off guard by this ewe having her lamb so we didn't have our milking setup dialed in yet. This is our first season in which we already have all the equipment necessary to milk the dairy sheep along with a little experience from last year. We wanted to start milking immediately to encourage maximum milk production so we grabbed a container and started milking. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #localfood #sheep #lamb #sheepmilk #dairysheep #eastfriesian #rawmilk nostr:nevent1qqsv3r8kfnx7e8dhjt00sm07llwnzgqguuj205tpa437fazmtz7v4xspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdqg7wnh7htflnqadcarsggqytu9ap7agvvw6auus7dmug8tw8v5psgqqqqqqsw79nh5

Anyone else make their own butter? I’ve been doing it in the blender but need a scaled up system for 10+ gallons of milk at a time. Any suggestions are appreciated! Also open to tips on making ghee. Tried my hand at it for the first time and it seems self stable (3rd pic) We used to do kerrygold but homemade local A2 raw milk butter is the bees knees (even if I can’t get all of the milk perfectly pressed out of the butter) #homesteading #rawmilk #permies #grownostr https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_d583a4042931ce7111617c909ab301f0a0e57c92d7f0db2459b79e1dfc6a14ce.jpeg https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_81da9693d14aa5287348dc802f2a0a62ba98f29b9eb7750d4038d6c2165918be.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/vcYeVbf.jpeg The transition from winter to spring is in full force with the sheep. East Friesian Dairy sheep are shorn. https://i.imgur.com/l8OoDhA.jpeg Then two ewes Izzy and Bella are in a paddock close to the milking stanchion ready to begin training for their milking routine. https://i.imgur.com/fJGlBGf.jpeg All the rams are moved into their 2 acre paddock in the sugar bush where they will enjoy the shade and sapling trees until fall. A lot of work to get done for one day but it feels good to know winter is over for the sheep. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #sheep #dairy #localfood #rawmilk #sheepmilk #regenag #regenerative #sustainable
