She is very much into soil typing, and getting your mineral content mix right for your animals. I have it on my to-do list to have our soil tested, so I can better figure out what our animals may be missing. Her claim, based on her wide experience- and she may be right- is that if you can settle out their mineral imbalances, you shouldn't need to vaccinate, worm, and worry about birthing complications, poor feed conversion or other production problems. The book kind of wasn't what I expected though, it didn't have much advice on natural care, it was very mineral focused, imo. But, it's thought provoking for sure, and worth studying! Let us know what you think about the goat version of her advice when you read it!

Duh! I should have thought of that. Are you starting with cream or milk? The major hurdle to overcome for me is that I am starting with MILK, not cream. This is because goat's milk is naturally homogenized. Though I gather the culturing aids the separation, which is then made complete during "churning". Thanks for the encouragement!

It works perfectly. It takes about 5 minutes. The first time I made it I didn't let it "churn" long enough. I assume that is what happened with you as well. I found this method VERY easy once I knew to let it go longer. Good luck! Wardeh,
