Thank you...I could not and would not be able to do this without a great wife.

“Your 7 children are very lucky”

I prefer to think of them being very blessed.

Blessed is a much better word.

“(except for the 7 kids)”

Don't sell yourself short. We were told early in our marriage that we would never have any children after my wife went through several medical tests. We decided to leave the size of our quiver and the filling of it in God's hands...see Psalm 127:3-5. God decided to bless us with three children within the next five years...then there was a five year span with no new children so my wife went in and they ran more tests. That doctor told us we would not have anymore children...we still left it in God's hands...that same doctor has now delivered the last four children. From my own experience I have decided that I am doing my best when I don't try to limit God when He is willing to bless me...and children are truly a blessing. Your quiver may already be full...God does give out different sizes...I just don't think that we know the size until God is done with it. I am not sure if seven filled my quiver or not...but God will let me know in His timing.

This idiot judge (elected in Dane County . . . where else?) is retiring, as announced Sept. 14. Guess he decided to inflict as much stupidity as possible on the state before he goes:

County judge Patrick Fiedler to step down after almost 18 years.

A better option for those that do not want to drink the milk in its raw stage is to buy a table top pasteurizer. We have one that we use for the milk that the children drink.

Chances are, Mohammed’s friend, that people who drink milk from their own cows, would not want to be anywhere near your favorite buffet.

I'm all for fresh milk. Unpasteurized, not so much. ;-)

That's a pen name.

You should get a different one BTW.

My favorite type of buffet is called a SMORGASBORD ~ with lots of fish ~ even lots and lots of raw, or at worst, smoked fish.

I also love dem sashimi.

***We currently have the family milk cow, a steer, a small flock of sheep, a goat, a couple dozen chickens and a few ducks...***

You know you’re a Farm Brat when that line makes you hungry.

I’ve been on a diet for too long...

Wouldn’t nuking the milk in a microwave solve the problem?

There is no problem with raw milk. If you sell your milk it is always tested for bacteria content and if it's tainted, it gets dumped and you don't get paid. If you follow simple sanitary precautions it's not that hard to keep your milk germ free.

I would not recommend trying to pasteurize your milk with a microwave as it would be hard to maintain a uniform temperature. If you get some localized boiling, the casein separates out and forms an unpleasant skin on the surface.

“You know you’re a Farm Brat when that line makes you hungry”

It made me hungry typing it...so I had a fry bread taco made with a mix of lamb and beef along with veggies from the garden...I did have to use cheese that we bought since the cow is currently dry.

“I’ve been on a diet for too long...”

I had thought about one of those once...but then supper time came around and I forgot about it :)

Fiedler? Figures.

Guess who just steeled her resolve to add a milk cow, a few sheep and a couple of goats to keep her flock of laying hens company? *SMIRK*

Just TRY To enforce this, Yer Onner. Just try.

I couldn’t decide what I wanted for dinner; I think I’ll have a fried egg sandwich, a salad from my garden and wash it down with a glass of locally produced milk!

Be sure to add some good Wisconsin-made Sargento cheese to tick off the “Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine” and support WI Gov. Scott Walker!
