Hello from Wyoming

[Guest guest]

I would like to introduce myself to the group. I am from Western

Wyoming. Out in the sticks, well not sticks, more cows in the valley

than sticks. I just started getting raw milk and cream from the

local farmers and began making butter to start. I thought it would

be much harder than it was and boy was the taste much different than

store bought. Once I figured out it needed to be room temperature

and a few failures behind me, I have a fridge full of butter. (got

alot of cream from the farmers.......) I have so many questions, I'm

not sure where to start. They can come later. I got raw milk a year

ago and we drank it with no problems, but my 1 year old ended up with

a burnt butt. I was told it was from the raw milk and she was not

use to it. My 3 year old drank it up like water. I am going to try

again now that diapers are soon out of the scene. I know it is so

much better than the store bought.

We get good delivery of supplies into the valley, but the dairy

products do not seem to stay fresh here. I don't know if they buy

older stuff or what. I seems to spoil quickly and I get tired of

throwing the stuff away.
