like sorry folks raising animals as food is still neither intrinsically evil nor intrinsically destructive to the environment. you’re thinking of industrial farming

are you in western washington and want some cool genes in your barn? consider: these guys
rooney (lilac buck) and radio ga ga (chocolate doe) are looking for new barns. they are littermates, two years old, white-ear and carry satin. rooney is a great breeder, and gaga is a willing doe and a good mom who has raised three litters successfully for me. they have good feet, good teeth, and i've never had problems with their kits either. also willing to take more/better photos of any structural areas you have concern over. they are meat mutts so they won't look like show-quality animals, but they are chunky and will definitely feed you while also making neat babies. Also also willing to attempt to preload ga ga from another buck in my barn that you like.
you can just Have Them if you can meet me within like an hour of everett washington, if i have to travel further i would love like $20 for gas money.

ram is gone for three days and the vibes have recovered enough to get horny
#due in late nov/early dec which is a little later than i'd prefer but it'll still be in my general timeline of 'having milk in winter too'#so i'm okay with it#but for real the pasture is so...peaceful now#everyone is so much calmer. violet has been going in for lunch with no coersion#it's gloomy today but tomorrow i might fuck around and let everyone in the back pasture and catch up on some reading#haven't gotten to do that for a while!#goats#mini nubian#violet#derek

What recipe do you use for lemon icebox pie??
pretty much just the juice of like...idk three big or six little lemons (depends on how tart you like it), a can of sweetened condensed milk, mix that shit up toss it in a graham cracker crust, put meringue on it if you want, and slap it in the fridge until it sets

did you know that five cups of goat milk turns into an entire goddamn quart of sweetened condensed milk and also that it will take like six goddamn hours to condense
i do
#part of that time was user error (forgot to put enough water in the bain-marie)#but also....bruh#good news is it tastes fantastic#but boy do i have a lot of thai tea and lemon icebox pie in my future#luckily it'll last in the fridge for several months#manger
