Jenny they do sound mouthwatering! I love it crumbled on tossed salads! I have heard marinating the cheese rounds in herbed olive oils too!

I want to try it all..I have the milk twice a day..so it is fun to experiment!! I have pesto to layer in a batch too...I thought that would be cool and they said in one recipe that it can be done...so I want to do that. Crumbled on salads is my favorite way to eat it too.

Jenny,
I have a question. After you milk your goats and chill their milk does the cream float on top like it does with cows milk?
I had a memory of making butter in grade school with the cream we skimmed off the top of some fresh milk that the teacher brought in. We put it in a mixing bowl and with an electric mixer she let us each have a turn at mixing it until it separated into butter globs and whey or buttermilk, not sure what you call it. Any way I wonder if you could do that with goats milk?
The goat milk butter I bought is nice but very expensive! 1/2 pound was $8.00.

Jenny, with all this talk of goats and ice cream and cheese I told DH I may have to get some goats. Do you have Nubians or Alpines? I have heard the Alpines are high strung and have richer milk. We had a few Nubians 15 years ago and they were good milkers, gentle too. My favorite was "Ursula". She was so tame and easy to milk. I would love to make some cheese. Care to share your recipe. I do worry about bobcats and we have even had reports of cougar sightings. Something scared the beejeebs out of our Dexters the other night so bad they crashed through a fence! Then they calmed down and went back to the pen by themselves but the fence was broken up. They also managed to eat the tops out of my dwarf apple trees I had just planted Arnrey little cows!!

Eileen....goat milk dosn't separate like cows milk. It has naturally smaller fat globules, which is what makes it more digestible. So....you get a tiny bit of cream at the top, but not much..otherwise, it stays combined..you have to use a cream separator to get at it. My sis in law has one, and I may try that sometime. I think that is probably why goat butter costs more.
Jenny....I have Saanen and Oberhasli goats. Saanens are big like Nubians but all white and give LOTS of milk. Oberhasli are bay with black markings..more the size of Alpines and give very rich milk. Right now, my Oberhasli doe is the older of the two I am milking and she gives a gallon and 1/2 of very rich milk every day. The Saanen doe, who is a first freshner is giving a little over a gallon of milk about equal to whole cows milk from the store in richness. I love them both, but Saanens are my favorite breed. I am tall so I like a big goat, and they are nice and calm. Probably just a little more cow like. My buck is Saanen and I have kept a doeling from the Oberhasli doe (the little gal looks totally Saanen) so I will have to decide which two does to keep next year..I am glad I don't have to think about that for a year. I have a hard time selling animals. I just have room to keep two milkers though.
Don't you hate when the fences get messed up?? I had a ram who would get spooked (or just maybe it was for sport) and would crash a big whole in the fence or knock down the wooden gates when he was in the garden for the winter with the ewes, and let everyone (all the sheep) out ....drove me nuts. I am hoping my new little ram lamb, who is polled..will be gentler. That fence crasher ram ate the top out of my little new fruit trees too..the little apple finally is coming back somewhat this year..grr.

I just have to tell you all, Goat milk butter is to die for!!! It is creamy, white and wonderful. Today I am going to see how it works in my famous shortbread recipe with the spelt flour.
Yummy!

Just made my first goat cheese, Chevre from neighbors raw goat milk, and was so happy with the results. I have 2 kids (Nubians)"Bella and Baby" that are 2 and 4 months old- will breed next year and will look forward to having some goat ice cream. I use raw cow milk, maple syrup, vanilla and egg yolks now and the family LOVEs the maple/vanilla combo :-) Maybe try Goat Cajeta Caramel Sauce on th ice cream? YUM!
