EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[fire370]

I understand the risks but if your herd is healthy and the containers are clean, as is the milking equipment and you cool it right away, the risks are lower and the milk might be better for you. 

I know I grew up on raw milk and only had pasteurized and homogenized milk in school. Which most of us farm kids refused to drink because of the funny taste. ( It was a waste of money for the schools to have milk, as 90% of the kids were farm families. The other kid lived in town but his Grandpa had  milk cows.




And look how perfect I turned out!!!! 

I couldn't agree more. And I guess until you raise food for a living, no one understands. Meat in the grocery store looks horrible, taste free eggs, and horrible milk. We eat out very little and if we do, we have preferred places. One of the things I notice about farm kids is how often are they sick and how many allergies do they have? Think about this. My kids are grown now but they have been raised the way I have and the rest of my family. Very healthy.

Trust me, something will kill you eventually.

Hey all you dairy goat owners @Sally Sunshine@mlm Mike[/@]@kajira@campingshaws@fire370 and the rest.
Yesterday I learned a super way to pasteurize milk with the push of a button. She uses the Instant pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1. It needs to be the 7 because it has a yogurt button. You fill it press the button and it beeps when it is done. No watching and stirring a pot
I ordered one.

The instant pot is awesome. We use it for cooking many things.

I use a lesser version of it for bone soup for the chickens.

I have a 24 weeker, who's immuno-compromised. Theoretically, he should have horrible asthma and other problems/health issues. I blame our farm lifestyle. When he weaned off breastmilk, he weaned to goats milk. From our goat, on our property. We are currently stuck using goats milk from the store because pumpkin dried up but we are in the process of buying more dairy goats.

I love to knit. I taught myself because I was having trouble with carpal tunnel after crocheting since fifth grade

My grandma taught me to crochet when I was about that age. I've traded pens for scarfs before.

That looks almost the same as my power cooker. I love it. The WWD hates my cooking because of all the cooking gadgets I like to use. I could get rid of the stove and bring in more gadgets if she did not have the power of the broom behind her.

From frozen to cooked in 30 minutes or less, no need to plan ahead anymore.

Can one of the raw milk users tell me WAY not pastorize?
Way playing a " Russian Roulette " with your, and your family health is better than doing this effort and pastorsize?

Well, I'm off to go replant the kale I lost in that hard freeze, and to plant some peas while I'm at it.

Knitters really are the best people! (Wasn't knitting historically a male activity in the past, and women weren't allowed to do it?)

I have a group of students who knit in class - equal numbers men and women. They always sit in the front rows and are inevitably much more attentive to the lecture than most of the others...

I do it all the time when I am in lectures or semons. I can focus much better and in colly you could see from the doodles and side lists on my notes which days I forgot it.
