This spring we bought a new cow! (You will learn more about her later...) She is giving us GALLONS AND GALLONS of delicious farm fresh milk, and so in an effort to use all this milk, K started making cheese! A few searches on instagram led her to...
On this channel Robyn teaches how to make all sorts of cheeses, and the best part, she shows you how to do it all with very simple equipment you may already own!
Today we discuss the 2 ways of getting your cow pregnant... Using a bull, or A.I. Which is better?
The answer is always it depends... Every homestead and every homesteader are different, hopefully our list of Pros and Cons can help you decide what is best for you and your homestead!

Would you like to make an extra $800 a month from your Homestead? Learn how Elaine from Old Homestead Alpacas -https://www.instagram.com/oldhomesteadalpacas/ - made $10,000 from her homestead last year, and a way that you could make $800 a month from yours!

Recently I interviewed Elaine from Old Homestead Alpacas, a homestead in Walla Walla Washington. Elaine shared the different ways she makes money from her homestead. Last year Elaine made 10,000 from her homestead, and one of the ways that she made money was with air bnb!
Elaine didn't rent a room out of her house. She actually just rented a "DIY CAMPING" experience to people who wanted to camp on her farm. She was booked solid each weekend through the summer.
In this video I share a snippet from a recent podcast that featured Elaine. Download the entire podcast in iTunes or Stitcher.
