Your blog gives a realistic view about the amount of milk you get with a cow! I will have to say that I am jealous (I am not even sure if 'jealous' is the right word to use, more like it stirs up desires in me to get a cow). It makes me want to do more to provide for my family, I wish I had a milk cow. I have milk goats right now and think the grass would be greener on the other side with a milk cow as I am only getting a PINT of milk a day. You are on the flip side providing (again) a realistic account of what having a milk cow would be like. A friend at church told me her cow gave SEVEN GALLONS of milk a day!! (That was years ago.) I think I would be overwhelmed in two days!! But, I still have my heart set on eventually getting a milk cow. <br />She told me this when we were taking a farm tour of a farm near our church with the M-Pact girls and I asked the farm owner how much their cows were giving a day and the farmer told me they had one cow that gave 160 pounds, that is(20) TWENTY GALLONS A DAY!!! That was a Holstein though. Be still my heart! I would get overwhelmed at just the morning milking!! LOL! <br />Please keep blogging about it! Please keep providing a resource for those of us that are looking for this information can find it!Pam's Pridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020507914468986557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-84769806978981942572010-08-30T19:08:19.085-05:002010-08-30T19:08:19.085-05:00I can't even grow edible food on my front porc...I can't even grow edible food on my front porch, according to HOA rules, much less have a cow or even hang out the dozen loads of laundry I do a week! I don't even have a yard I can call mine~ it belongs to me & about 500 other people. But I do know that God tells me to rejoice with those who rejoice & not to covet what others have. I enjoy reading about the way others live & the ways God blesses them.

It was not Christlike for anonymous to say one thing while doing the oppisite. We all have free agency and anonynmous chose to read your blog. Anonymous chose to take offense. You are not responsiblile for that.

The problem lies with the author of that post. Truth be told we humans don't need to drink huge quanitities of milk to be in good health. So there is no need to pass judgement on how people get their calcium and Vit D.. powdered milk, dark leafy greens, skim milk only.. WHO CARES? You bought a cow, now you are stuck with the responsibilities that come with owning such an animal; feeding, sheltering, milking etc. Now you have lots of milk and this is an item that can only be used in so many way.. I find your posts on how to use all this milk quite interesting. This is a new challenge in your life.. You are asking for ideas at time, education at others. The poster of that comment comes across extremely jealous of your predicament. If that person is in such financial binds that they NEED milk and feel they should criticize you for talking about your bounty.. then maybe they could cancel their internet so they are not using money to read your blog? Then they would not be using time being jealous...Nothing shocks me anymore...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668249811278366025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-83340668357145372182010-08-29T20:27:47.447-05:002010-08-29T20:27:47.447-05:00I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF THE MISS JUDY FAN CLUB!I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF THE MISS JUDY FAN CLUB!Blessed Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705070730960125281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-78060621312324925572010-08-29T17:31:23.776-05:002010-08-29T17:31:23.776-05:00I've just started reading your blog a couple o...I've just started reading your blog a couple of weeks ago.. and nothing comes through as bragging .. <br />I agree w/ Rocky Mountain Homemaker 100%<br /><br />Maybe just pray for this person <br />that's all you can do.. just leave it to G-D ..

Some are "self oriented". They filter everything in life through their own wants and needs. Conversely, people who are "other oriented" have the ability to appreciate the blessings and abilities of others. When we come to a relationship with the Lord, we should become an other oriented type of person. Sadly, it doesn't always happen and some believers can continue to live fleshly, self-centered lives. <br />I've known families who have had a steady supply of fresh milk and I understand that while the milk is a blessing, there is a lot of it! You want to be a wise steward of what the Lord has provided. <br />I can remember reading about a lady who actually canned milk with a pressure canner. Might be a way to get through the powdered milk days. <br />Have a blessed Sunday, dear..............

I have nothing going ...I have no cow<br />I have no farm<br />I have nothing going on around here that could closely resemble what you have going on around there.<br />I love this blog and I love coming here to read and learn about all kind of new things.<br />One day I would like to be there, more debt free and more simplistic self sustainging life style. Don't know if I will ever get there but hey its a hope or dream if you will.<br /><br />Yes, there have been alot of milk posts, but I just chaulked it up to that is what is going on in your life right now, that is what is consuming most of your time,energy and thoughts, so that is what your blogging about.<br /><br />Did I get upset because that MILK is the topic of your posts for a while, did I get jealous because your overflowing with the white stuff and I am scraping by paying 3.09 a gallon for it here. NO I didn't.<br /><br />I wish we were more debt free and could do more, hopefully one day we will get there, for now I will keep doing what we are doing and clip my coupons, buy in bulk, and scratch cook to save as much as we can.<br /><br />Maybe the person who left that email was just having a bad day, and things aren't working out for them like they have worked out for you and they were just frustrated and vented towards you. All of us have those days where things just aren't what we want them to be and its hard to hear sometimes how great things are for someone else.<br /><br />Continue to write your blog, share what you learn and post just because, even if the person who posted that wasn't venting and it was just a jab kind of post the fact is that there are a million blogs out there on every topic and if they don't like reading here they are free to read somewhere else.<br /><br />Hope you have a great day!!<br />DanaDanahttp://www.homesteadblogger.com/countryheartandhomenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-30801359284661590892010-08-29T05:20:42.632-05:002010-08-29T05:20:42.632-05:00I for one love to read about your abundance of mil...I for one love to read about your abundance of milk. I wonder how long it is going to last & am so thankful that you are giving us all these great ideas & recipes. Wish I lived closer even though I live in Texas (East Tx) it is too far to drive for milk. I dont understand why people think they have to comment when they dont like something. Its like TV if you dont like it change the channel. Thanks again for all your posts.
