Milk from our cow

Buttercup still has a little milk, so we gave milking a quick go. This was just a squirt from each teat. We are going to go back with a cloth to clean the teats and give getting a bit more a go. She doesn't have much as Bluebell is 14 months old and should really be weaned but is obviously continuing to take a little bit of milk.

We also milked one of the sheep the other day, just a few squirts again. From afar her udders looked a bit large so we caught her, but we decided it was just because we had sheared her we could see the udder more clearly than normal. But we decided to give milking a little go and have a taste. Pretty nice. Being such small sheep i don't think there is much to spare, but interesting anyway. Maybe we could make a tiny tiny sheeps cheese one day.
