First Day Shadowing at the Dairy!

Our first day shadowing. Here's the milk machine we use:

You can see there are two types of cups. There are pros and cons to each, in my extremely novice opinion. :) Easier to put on the white ones, easier to take off the green ones. 

The sweet barn cat who gets all of the test milk. I can't quite remember the official term.. 

Milking a dwarf and a mini! So far so good! 

And a failed goat selfie. It was a very long night, we milked 5 stands of 9 goats on each stand and after that and cleaning, were out at the farm until about 11, 11:30.. it was worth it! But hopefully as we get better, we'll get quicker. 

Getting to know the dairy

So my roommate and I have started an internship at a local dairy. It's a wonderful no meat place, and they make the most delicious chevre, yogurt, and butter.. We have been a few times to get acquainted. Here are some pictures from our first or second visit to the Sunday market to buy cheese and eggs:

After that, we were informed that we got the internships! Here I am making friends with some future coworkers: 

This little guy is a real beast:

Next post is our first lesson in milking! 

Here is a sketch for a painting I was recently commissioned to do! client approved it :) They are animals representing her spiritual journey/the four elements.
