LIVE SHOW TONIGHT ABOUT GETTING YOUR FARM BUSINESS IN THE PRESS! But First…
What is it like to milk a camel? I was wondering this all month as the time drew closer and closer that we would be getting out dairy camels. Would it be the same? Would K be able to do it? Would I be able to?
Turns out milking a camel is easer than milking a cow. For starters the time investment is less. A camel let down lasts only for 90 seconds or so, less endurance is needed. Also, a camel being taller, I found it easier to work under.
If you calf share your cows like we do then you are familiar with the dance that is letting the baby on to nurse, then pulling the baby off and jumping in to milk yourself. It might frustrate an old time dairyman, but for homesteaders who have been calf sharing their entire milking career it was nothing new.
All and all milking camels was pretty much a smooth transition for us. So that leaves the big question, with all of us drinking camel milk now, and our cows not being milked, what are we going to do with them?
In addition to a calf leaving the farm, there are 8 little puppies that we needed to find a home for. Before we re-homed them we wanted to be sure people knew what they were getting, so we went ahead and did a DNA test of our pups to find out who indeed was the daddy of the littler, Our german shepherd or my lab Bones?
We used the EMBARK DNA TEST, which was super easy to use and fun to learn all about our pups when we got the results back. If you wanna DNA test your dog to learn about his breed, history, and lineage try the EMBARK DNA TEST.
