Monday morning I milked which was all that I did and then my day and a half off started.
Yesterday I had to work at 7. I helped clean up from milking and then clean the sheeps waiting area and such. Nahum and I then went to pick up sawdust from a sawmill. This time Bob didn't go with us so I was held responsible for communicating to the owner to explain who we were and to give him the cheese Bob told us to give him. When we got back we had to unload it into the sawdust area in the barn.
Last night I milked. It took a little while longer because the set up of the milking machine wasn't quite right... which really made me learn to always double check things before you start milking because accidents happen. After I had completed that, I did the dishes and the cleaning up of the yard. I also took care of the rams.
Lately we have had problems with mastitis, so we've been testing for that. Tuesday Bob sent 7 ewes to market and we still had a problem yesterday. Anne found it this morning so now hopefully it will all be gone.
This morning I started by cleaning up things for the person who was milking and then went to change my clothes because I was to learn how to make cheese this morning. Its very interesting and as I'm writing this, we're waiting for the rennet and culture to work. We just finished adding the rennet and we have to wait 35 minutes.
