Do you use the same temp? Estimate bake time? Sorry I've never made rolls before so don't really have a start point to work from. Thanks for the help!

Kristi, yes, I use the same oven temp, and the baking time depends on the size of the rolls, usually around 15 minutes.
Posting is back to usual–sorry! We had a technical glitch between last night and this morning. All fixed.

Thanks Suzanne – that was really strange to open a topic and ………. nothing! I knew you would handle it.

There may be another place for this, but I haven't found it?
I have been here every day since I found CITR and reading the archived material. Are the newsletters put together from the pieces here or should I subscribe as they're different?
Thanks!

I'm going to answer though Suzanne may add more later about it… There are some reminders and links about things that you may have already read, but there are other new things too, so I think it's worth subscribing to the newsletter, but that's just me.

Judi, the newsletter includes highlights from the previous month but also always new material that is exclusive to the newsletter, so you will want to subscribe (I hope). It's FREE!

I posted this question elsewhere before I saw the "Ask Suzanne" board! So here's my question again – whatever happened to Cookie Doe? Did I miss a post, or was she another farm tragedy? (I hope this question doesn't make you feel bad. I know farm life can be hard.)
Hello there–check Suzanne's year in reveiw posted this morning, the month of May in which she posted Dookie's passing from old age. I had been wondering about him as well and read about him in this moring post.

Why guess, I bake almost everyday…Your bread thermometer should read an internal temperature of 190° to 195° for rolls..some say 200°..either they are wrong, my thermometer is wrong…or they like tough rolls

Hi Suzanne
What do you think is a good size farm to start with? We are looking at purchasing 20-40 acres
in the future. We will be raising chickens, goats, a few sheep and pigs(just for eating) and maybe a cow.

acwash, is this 20-40 useful acres? LOL. We had 40 acres at Stringtown Rising, but less than half the acres were useful pasture. When you're looking at land in regard to your animals, try to get a solid idea of how many acres of it is useful pasture. You can raise chickens in a backyard, so that part isn't critical. Goats don't need a lot of pasture (if you don't have a ton of goats). Goats are not major pasture hoggers. But sheep– Sheep eat a LOT and they need rotational pastures or they will eat a pasture down to the ground. For my four sheep here, I am planning at least three rotational pastures (of a few acres each). If I had more than four, I'd need more pastures to rotate or bigger pastures. I cannot emphasize enough that sheep eat a lot!
Cows also eat a lot. You can probably google and find an acre per cow analysis. I don't know it off the top of my head, but whatever that is, I'd double it to be on the safe side because you never want to buy hay for a cow while grass is still growing. A cow will eat a square bale a day and I can tell you that the money adds up fast. Been there, done that.

Suzanne,
The first one is just 15 acre of pasture and 5 pastures of woods with a creek. The second site has 20 acres are pastures, 15 acres is a wooded area and the rest is by a lake. I think the sheep would just be enough to keep as meat (2 females and a male). I will have to see what the soil is like through a test. The first one is in Va and the second one is in Ga. Thank you for answering my question. By the way i have read your blog from beginning to end! Is Glory Bee with a calf yet? That is one stubborn cow!

I don't think either BP or Glory Bee are pregnant, so it would be a miracle. I'm hoping to get a bull here in the spring.

Suzanne – I had a question about your milking machine:
After having used it for awhile, would you still recommend that particular machine or are there features that you wish you had in hind-sight? Would you still get that one if you were buying one today? If not, what do you wish you had gotten instead (features, brand, etc.)
I'm still in my looonnnnnggggg pre-learning phase before jumping in to get a cow
so I'm still gathering information on almost every aspect of owning and caring for a dairy cow. I know that I need to milk by hand for some time before going the milk machine route. I do want to have my resources lined up for future purchase, however!
Thanks.. Sue ~AKA – Leah's Mom ~
