whereabouts in oregon? My lord has a friend in oregon, south west corner
named Diane Sawall who raises goats for cheesemaking. If i can find a
map in this mess I call home, I could even discern the town she lives
in. OR you can call the local 4h and ask about kids with prohects, OR
you could go to the nearest large animal vet and ask around discretely.
I am lucky to have a dairy farm within an hours drive that sells raw
milk- apparently CT doesnt have that silly law.
BTW, they have a chemical you can add to milk to turn homog milk into
cheesable.
