Mankind has messed with genetics here until cows milk themselves to death and you have milk fever and mastitis.Donna.

However, I...Marcia, we've raised pigs on milk. However, I do NOT intend to milk a cow just to feed pigs. I do NOT intend to be tied down to twice-a-day milking. Right now I have to milk every day because the calf can't take it all, but I'll be doing a happy dance once he can consume it all by himself. <br />I don't have rennet or junket on hand, or I would try that.Donna.

I do not pasteurize the milk - just heat it to 90 degrees add starter - that would be the buttermilk - and let it set 1 hr - then I add liquid rennet - you could use junket and let it set another hour then cut the curd into smallish pieces and heat to 100 - pour off most of the whey and add cold water to lower the temp to 85 - place curds in cheesecloth and let drain a couple of hours - break up curds and add cream if you wish - WAY yummy. Hey, you need a couple of pigs - we feed the extra milk to ours and they love it!Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777509719405887278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-20543174124259491472010-08-30T11:48:52.120-05:002010-08-30T11:48:52.120-05:00I never tried making cottage cheese.

I wish I had a half gallon right now. Yummy with cornbread and an onion or with sliced tomatoes. Did not pasteurize it.

Years ago I got the grains from this guy in Australia http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html .my Mom had them for probably 10 years now.kcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.com
