Cheese Post: FETA

Of course one of the most popular goat cheeses is feta.  Salt, crumbly, perfect accompaniment to crisp sweet lettuce and onion salad.  I am a bit fussy about my feta - not too salty, and not too mild but with the right balance of lipase and brininess.  I like to crumble it on top of salads, sometimes cube it and brine in olive oil and herbs.  Either way it's tasty and addicting.

Bella's twins

Sugar Moon Mocha Java "Bella" (bred to Capsand Creamery Walker) kidded twins August 1, 2016.  2 large healthy bucklings - no females, hopefully next time.  Like our other best milker Kizzy, it appears Bella is going to be very selective when she has girls.  This pair is adorable with flashy markings and quick, playful personalities.  Bella is milking like a champion once again.  She has a solid dairy background, both her dam and sire placing on ADGA's elite buck and doe list.  Last summer she peaked at 5.3 lbs as a first freshener after weaning her bucklings, and is well on her way to topping that this lactation.
