Have two markets. One in the Albany area and one in Vermont that has been around since the invention of dirt. The one in the Albany area pays a better price if you can produce Fall milk. The place in Vermont doesn't care when you produce it but pays less. Don't know what their percentage of fluid sales to cheese manufacture is. I'm just a spectator in this little enterprise. I do know that Jeff and him penciled out that he needs a hundred milkers to make the shipping costs feasible and still make money. I do know that there are other goatsy types around that will ship also, if he can put this together. One local girl is now running her fathers dairy farm but also has a successful dairy goat operation going, too. She has a local clientele that buys all of the milk she produces.
As to ventilation, the whole hay mow is vented at the eves and there is a hay barn door at the corner of the corral. We also have a couple of the large ventilation fans sitting around doing nothing at the time.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
