<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Tasting Homemade Bone Broth </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bone Broth is one of the easiest super foods to make for your family and has been consumed for centuries for it's healing powers. Our gut health-which accounts for about 80% of our immune system, is greatly improved with the addition of bone broth in our diet. Make this super easy elixir for your family to help them improve health. </span><br />
It is downright trendy to be sipping cups of bone broth and I am thrilled broth is back in fashion. It has been an important food for humans throughout history and with it's absence human health has suffered greatly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Chicken Broth</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In my opinion the best product from the chicken is the broth. If we eat chicken we go harvest our own bird from roosters we raised earlier in the year. The white-get-fat-fast meat bird is not in our flock. When we harvest our bird there is very little premium white meat, but what is missing in meat is gained back in rich bone broth. Here is a bird we harvested and you can see there is not much meat but it will make a flavorful broth. I do not roast chicken bones and usually simmer the bones 24-48 hours or longer if I am making continuous broth in a slow cooker. *Note* If you add chicken feet your broth will be more gelatinous. The continuous simmer method is great to start on Sunday, as you take broth out add water back to the slow cooker. Sometimes I will keep it going until Friday. In the morning before school your children can dip out a mug full of this super food or take a thermos for lunch. Super easy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Beef Broth</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beef broth is my favorite. I love beef and I love the richness of well-made bone broth and stock. We have been using the bones from our own beef for many years. I remember the first time I asked the butcher to save the bones they couldn't believe we wanted them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>First and foremost, choose the correct bones. One of the best attributes of harvesting calves is the best bone broth is made from rose beef bones. The younger the animal the more collagen. Rueffer Ranch Rose Beef is from nursing calves aged 6-8 months weighing 500-600 lbs. I shared a link at the bottom giving detail about bones. Adding meaty bones will make a richer broth and please make sure to save all the bones leftover from cuts such as roast or steak. If we eat rib eye steaks I will cut off the bone after it is cooked, but before it is served (store in the freezer until ready to make broth). When trimming beef for cuts such as stew meat always save the trim, just put in into the freezer and take out when ready to make broth. Here is an opportunity to use <u>all</u> of your beef.</b></div>

<h2>
<b>My Favorite </b></h2>
<h2>
SLOW COOKER METHOD</h2>
<br />
*If a rich brown broth is desired, roast the bones at 350 degrees for 30 minutes on each side or until desired darkness. I usually roast.<br />
<br />
<br />
Add roasted bones to slow cooker, onion, peppercorns, splash of apple cider vinegar (if using slow cooker), and sometimes unpeeled garlic cloves and a bay leaf. Cover with water, not over one inch above the bones. Set slow cooker on low and cook 12-72 hours.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Most of the time the first day I will take out stock for soup and replace with water. This is called 'continuous simmer method'. (Take out broth and add back water).</span><br />
<br />

*I PREFER TO USE A SLOW COOKER THAT IS CERAMIC WITH A GLASS LID.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When the broth has been bubbling for 12-72 hours, I cool slightly then strain the broth into a glass bowl (with a lid) then chill in the refrigerator. The next day I scrape the layer of beef tallow off the cooled broth and set it aside so I can heat it and strain the tallow into freezer jars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The fat is gold and there are many uses; such as the best moisturizer for your skin and lips, a healthy fat for cooking, and tallow candles. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are best when oven-roasted with beef tallow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
If making a very large amount of broth I use the oven method.</div>

Roast the bones as instructed above or blanch bones, add ingredients, cover with water, then loosely cover the pan (with natural parchment paper or a stainless steel cookie sheet) and cook at 250 degree for about 3 days.<br />

Very important to cook broth at a bubble not a simmer! You may need to adjust your oven temperature to only a bubble.<br />

YOU CAN MAKE BEEF/CHICKEN BROTH IN THE SLOW COOKER BY PUTTING THE BONES IN THE COOKER AFTER ROASTING.

Broth will be ready and waiting for you to dip a mug of this soothing healthy food anytime of the day! </div>

You can always add water to the bones you just strained and make a second batch of broth.

A useful is hint: As you need stock for soup or dishes while the stock is bubbling, just remove stock and add water back. I plan to make soup while I am making stock. Super easy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Way back in January I began to search for the best and easiest recipe to make my own lip balm. Many attempts later I think we have a winner. I embrace a simple life and like recipes that don't require buying extra ingredients or equipment that take up space in my home Economics and my valuable time play leading roles in selecting the best recipes. Homesteaders must accomplish many task daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing we need to talk about is <b><i>carrier oils</i></b>. There are many to choose from but I urge you to use oils that are readily available and in your budget. Also, you need to do some testing to make sure you aren't sensitive to the oil. (Just put a bit on your lips and see how you react).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Next ingredient</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b>Beeswax</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">I went to Fain's Honey located east of Llano, Texas and bought a slab of beeswax that might possibly last my lifetime. The beeswax candles from Market Square in Mason are pure beeswax and safe to use for this project.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">An optional ingredient</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b>Butters</b> such as Shea, Cocoa, or Mango</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: applegothic;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Now for the recipe:</span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3 parts carrier oil</b></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1 part butter</b></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1 part beeswax</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
Combine ingredients in small pan then place the pan inside another pan with water to make a double boiler.<br />
Beeswax is flammable so best to be safe. <br />
Warm slowly until beeswax is melted then pour into lip balm containers.<br />
<br />
<b>Additions to lip balm</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You can add your favorite essential oils.<br />
For color you can add mica powder, here is a link to the brand and color that I use.<br />

<b>BEST COOKING METHOD FOR GRASSFED BEEF</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This subject is a topic of debate for all of us who have taken the reins in sourcing our own beef. The number one complaint I have heard for years is grass-fed beef is so tough or perhaps reminds one of shoe leather. We have been raising our own beef since 2004. Our calves run with their mothers which gives them a diet of milk and grass. We harvest the calves on weaning day which gives a definite advantage of tender beef. The younger the animal the more tender the meat.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So let's discover some options for those who want tender delicious beef.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The method we have tested many times and provides true and tried results is the REVERSE SEAR METHOD.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I will discuss two good sources for information. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The first method and the method we are currently using to cook steaks is from "Cook's Country". Here it goes. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b> Rinse steaks and pat dry, then place on rack over a cookie sheet. Place in the refrigerator overnight. You want the beef to dry on the outer edges.</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b> Set oven at 200 degrees and sprinkle half teaspoon of kosher salt on each side of the steak, place the cookie sheet with the steaks in the oven.</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>After one hour take the internal temperature of the steak. Depending on your preference of doneness for your steak you will continue to cook and check 15-30 minutes until the preferred temperature is reached. Our steaks are cut 1.5 inches thick and we usually leave our steaks in the 200 degree oven for two hours. </b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>When your perfect temperature is reached remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest. I usually let them rest until we are fairly close to dinner. Maybe I let them rest one hour. </b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Now is the fun part. Mr. Rueffer will get the grill roaring and sear each side of the steak for one minute. Any fire source will work great. Sometimes we sear the steaks in a hot cast iron pan then add butter and one clove of garlic for each of the steaks. Divine I must say. The picture above is tenderloin with garlic-butter sauce. </b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Let the steaks rest at least 10-15 minutes. </b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Enjoy fork tender steak. </b></li>
</ol>
<b> </b><br />
<ol>
</ol>

<b>Cattle Health</b></h2>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>Today I would like to discuss cattle health and our strategies for maintaining a healthy herd. Our dairy and beef herd provide our family with home-grown and thoughtfully sourced milk and beef so we place high standards on bovine health. We study research to ensure current understanding of bovine diseases, especially diseases that are known to be zoonotic.<br />
<br />
My journey began 15 years ago when we bought a dairy cow. Thank goodness we had a knowledgeable vet who educated and guided us through testing for diseases we most definitely did not want in our raw milk. As time marched on beef cattle were added to our farm and I realized that they are carriers of many diseases we really didn't want in our family's beef supply. We decided to close both dairy and beef herds and raise all replacement females. Our decision to quarantine our herd has come with many challenges such as wearing plastic gloves, covering shoes with plastic covers, and endless expensive testing. We believe this has been a worthwhile endeavor and we are grateful to have a clean dairy and beef herd.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few weeks ago Mr. Rueffer decided we would have the whole herd tested at one time and to verify where we were on bovine health. The above pictures is from that very long day for both man and bovine but the results were worth it. The beautiful girls and a few boys above are not only vibrant with health but have lab-work papers to prove it. THE RESULTS WERE 100% NEGATIVE FOR BVD, BLV(BOVINE LEUKOSIS VIRUS-I added some links for you to read about this disease <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/considerations-for-drinking-raw-milk-milk-zbcz1611">http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/considerations-for-drinking-raw-milk-milk-zbcz1611</a>; <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/20/5/13-1298_article" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: -0.2px;">https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/20/5/13-1298_article</a>; <a href="http://news.berkeley.edu/2015/09/15/bovine-leukemia-virus-breast-cancer/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: -0.2px;">http://news.berkeley.edu/2015/09/15/bovine-leukemia-virus-breast-cancer/</a>), JOHNE'S; (<a href="https://johnes.org/zoonotic/index.html">https://johnes.org/zoonotic/index.html</a>), AND NEOSPORA. We are so happy and feel so blessed to be care-takers of these cattle. Most disease transmission occurs maternally to offspring. I think most of us are unaware of disease in cattle because many diseases are sub-clinical and it is often hard to detect with out lab work. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dairy cattle have more incidence of disease due to confined living conditions. We will talk about raw milk and disease another time. In both dairy and beef herds, disease is spreading rapidly due to our current conventional systems for milk and beef. I hope we can change our system into a system free from confinement eating of commodity crops and shipping cattle long distances for harvest. I believe the model we are striving for here at Rueffer Ranch aids in mending our broken food system in America.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
<b>Benefits of our model</b>:</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Mother and calf roam freely grazing until the natural weaning time for a calf.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Calves are born in sync with nature giving them lots of green grass and favorable conditions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Calves are not shipped long distances which is stressful for the newly weaned calf. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Calves are milk-fed from their mothers and graze with her for supplementation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Since they are born in the spring the grass conditions are prime for great beef nutrition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Our ancestors always harvested "the fatted calf" which provided them with tender meat, bones, and organs. They did not have refrigeration and a calf was the right size for harvest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*The smaller animal has smaller cuts which are just right for a healthy meal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*There is no use of commodity crops or factory farming. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Calves are from a closed tested herd which speaks volumes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Calves are harvested locally.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*ROSE BEEF TASTE BEST</div>

Life is kinda funny how we never know where we will go and what passions we will pursue. I find it extraordinary that a person can live in the city and by chance move to the country and find a passion that grows daily!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have found my passion MILK COWS!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The learning curve has been steep but I hope to share all that I have learned with others and strive to breed the perfect family Jersey cow. Perhaps a cow that existed around the early 1900's.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A family milk cow does and has always played a vital role in providing nutrient dense food to her homestead.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SHE IS WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Due to the amazing impact a milk cows brings to your homestead, I want to share the qualities I find important in finding your perfect family milk cow.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HEALTH</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I Can't stress this enough. It is so important to test your dairy cows yearly and know their background. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chances are you will drink raw milk and it is very important to know the status of your cows health BEFORE you drink her raw milk. Our herd is tested every May for the following dairy diseases:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
TB (tubercolosis)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bang's</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BVD (bovine viral diarrhea)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Johne's</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Q Fever</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BLV (bovine leukosis virus)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She must be free from mastitis.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GENETICS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this subject I don't necessarily mean the most popular American dairy genetics.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I PROMOTE AND PRACTICE GRASS-FED GENETICS AND DAIRYING!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember if you want to a grass-fed cow you must choose grass-fed genetics. If you want to feed grain then choose accordingly. We follow holistic management and strive to follow a Weston A. Price influenced diet, so for us our milk cow's level of nutrition is directly linked with our level of nutrition and health.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our herd sire is "The Balladeer of Branched Oak Bruno" purchased from Ben Gotschall of Holt Creek Jerseys in Nebraska in 2012 and we have been very pleased with Bruno and his offspring.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To read more about grass-fed genetics and information about Bruno go to:<a href="http://holtcreekjerseys.com/">holtcreekjerseys.com</a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We believe an "easy keeper type cow" is desirable for a family milk cow. Maintaining body condition while lactating on a grass-fed diet is very important to us.</div>

Nickel is from one of our favorite cows named<br />
Penny (funny name). Penny is one of our<br />
cows milked for Cole's Creamery raw milk.<br />
She is consistent, small statured, very agreeable<br />
and enjoys being milked.<br />
We have high hopes for Nickel!<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">We have been making chocolate and have been sweetly surprised how easy and delicious making your own chocolate can be. We mold the chocolate for bite size pieces in a chocolate mold (link is below), pour nut clusters onto wax paper and make peanut butter cups in mini muffin liners. This recipe is so easy and fabulous tasting you will never go back to main-stream chocolate.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Chocolate 101</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Coconut Oil (I use Tropical Traditions or Premier, but your choice)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Maple Syrup (I use organic)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Cacao powder (cocoa powder), I use Valrhona </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Vanilla Extract (I use homemade)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Sea Salt</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Very Gently melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil (crucial). I barely </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">warm the pan then move it on and off heat. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and whisk into oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Add add 2-4 tablespoons of maple syrup or your preference.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">At this stage you may add.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">A dash of sea salt</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">1-2 teaspoons of vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Roasted nuts, fillings, essential oil such as peppermint, coffee, toasted coconut; then pour onto parchment paper, mini muffin liners, or in the silicone mold shown above.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Put into the refrigerator until set, enjoy and store inside the refrigerator.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Point to stress:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Do not allow even a drop of water in your recipe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">This is why I do not use a double boiler.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">If chocolate thickens you may for a second at a time apply heat. CAUTION</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">If you overheat it will separate (seize) and be unattractive (we want beautiful).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">So many wonderful things to do with this recipe such as put chocolate in a mug and add steamed milk for hot chocolate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">You can double this recipe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">This recipe fills about half of the chocolate mold. I try to make smaller amount at time because I will eat the whole thing. ;)</span><br />

Two years ago we made Bruno our herd sire in our quest for grass-fed genetics, excellent body condition on grass, and healthy udders. We believe Bruno has brought these characteristics to our herd. These expectations with added calm demeanor from his offspring have greatly added to our farm's holistic goals. Here are a few pictures of our future milk cows.<br />

Kefir is a super resource for probiotics and is very delicious to drink plain or add to smoothies. <br />
I bought dehydrated grains from Cultures for Health and developed stable grains that I have been reusing for almost two years.<br />
<br />
Here is my quick and super easy method to make kefir using Cole's Creamery raw milk.<br />
<br />
1. I designate a glass pourable measuring cup, wooden spoon and plastic strainer specially used only for kefir.<br />
<br />
2. I have a clean quart jar with an unbleached coffee filter held with a metal ring or rubber band to put strained kefir grains inside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4nnpDqzQDOcOZk_127J0xaiHufKILKaSA_YOOSe0Hj_LO59Yd5bsDHpTBCFWFOivlomPNF69I0fsTZaz6mW2Xy7koXJD26SzHE0iQqCShQMVZWI2trCkhMXbiO-y1tBXMZ93DMZEmZu27/s1600/IMG_1003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4nnpDqzQDOcOZk_127J0xaiHufKILKaSA_YOOSe0Hj_LO59Yd5bsDHpTBCFWFOivlomPNF69I0fsTZaz6mW2Xy7koXJD26SzHE0iQqCShQMVZWI2trCkhMXbiO-y1tBXMZ93DMZEmZu27/s1600/IMG_1003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
3. I put a small amount of kefir into the strainer and stir the grains causing kefir to strain into the measuring cup.<br />
<br />
4. I put the grains I have worked in the strainer into the clean glass as I strain the kefir little by little.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">STRAINED KEFIR GRAINS</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. When all of the kefir is strained, I pour the kefir back into the jar that held the unstrained kefir. I put a lid on the jar and refrigerate.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">KEFIR GRAINS (LEFT) FRESH KEFIR (RIGHT)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
6. Back to the clean jar holding the grains: I pour milk right out of the refrigerator over the grains and put the coffee filter held by a ring on the jar. No heating. No stirring. <br />
<br />
7. I leave the jar for 24 hours then strain again.<br />
<br />
The jar needs to sit in a warm draft free area away from anything that could contaminate the culture.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">YOGURT RECIPE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheesemaking.com has an abundance of information about making yogurt. I basically use their recipe, with a few minor changes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1</b> Heat any amount of milk you desire, but remember you need to add:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">2 tablespoons of plain yogurt to culture/ 1 quart of milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use plain Fage or Greek God's yogurt (check ingredients to make sure the yogurt you are using to inoculate contains at least 4 cultures) or yogurt packets from Cheesemaking.com to culture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if I want to make half gallon of yogurt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heat 2 quarts of milk and use 1/4 cup of yogurt culture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2</b> Heat milk to 180-185 degrees F. and hold for 10-20 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3</b> Cool milk quickly by placing pan in ice water to 120-125 degrees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4 </b> Inoculate by adding yogurt culture in jar you are pouring your milk into to incubate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 5</b> Incubate in warm place 4-12 hours I wrap my jars in a towel and sit on hot water heater for 12 hours</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put in refrigerator and enjoy! At this point I take out yogurt to use for next batch and store in the freezer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add jam, syrup, molasses, or honey to sweeten. Serve over granola or nuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>After 4 hours of refrigeration you can drain and make greek yogurt.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I drain in the refrigerator for two days for cream cheese. The possibilities are endless of additions: herbs, nuts, chutney, jams, sauces, dried fruit or nuts you can add to the cream cheese.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This week I added dried cranberries to the cream cheese then shaped into a log and rolled in toasted sugar almond slices.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My friend Wendy surprised me with an early birthday present. She told me she couldn't wait until my birthday to give me this book, because precious time would be lost in the abundant amount of enjoyment I would derive from having it. Can you guess the name of the book? Everyone seems to love this book, a timeless classic to those of us who seek great health.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have found a new concept in bread-making and my life has changed forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is for very busy people like you. I first experimented with a fermented dough recipe from Mother Earth News Magazine a couple of years ago. Then a friend shared the name of a revolutionary bread-making book:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day. </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this concept no kneading, no fretting, and fresh bread always available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my very easy method: I use the recipe on page 76</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except I use butter instead of oil and replace the water with whey. I use a Pampered Chef cookie sheet stone to bake a flat wheat bread for sandwiches. The wheat berries are Wheat Montana Prairie Gold.</div>

Ricotta is very easy to make. I use the recipe from Cheesemaking.com, except I do not go over 190 degrees. I bought ricotta molds on the website, they are perfect for a one gallon milk recipe. The ricotta is so attractive. </div>

I am always looking for new ways to use ricotta. I made ricotta ice cream and it is divine. I didn't bother freezing in the ice cream maker, I just put it in a stainless steel bowl and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Great plain, but you can add things such as chocolate, nuts, or fruit. Very easy and delicious! Here is my process:</div>

I am always amazed how quickly health can deteriorate or greatly improve. Yesterday morning my husband Mr. Rueffer had a close call with one of our beef heifers. He found her in birth distress and brought her into the barn to help deliver the calf. Things were not looking too well, the calf's tongue was very swollen as well as his nostril area. Mr. Rueffer worked quickly and pulled the calf. He looked so distressed we were so worried. Mr. Rueffer cleaned his face and rubbed him and he perked up. The first pictures (at bottom) are about 8a.m. and the last are at 4p.m. It is remarkable how quickly he recovered. Mr. Rueffer is helping him learn to nurse to ensure he gets colostrum which is vital to life.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">After two days it is time to cut the soap into bars. We used recycled salad containers for molds and poured the soap into the molds the desired depth of the bars. If your soap will not come out of the mold, just put it into the freezer. I accidentally left mine in overnight and it was fine. I used a butcher knife to cut the bars, but you could use dental floss. The blade needs to be an even width throughout. After cutting, the bars need to cure for 30 days before use. Each side needs to be rotated for even drying each week. They are very beautiful, I can't wait to try them. We used no perfumes or</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">fragrances in this recipe.</span></span><br />

They rotational graze not only at our farm location but also at other locations because we feel they benefit from variety. Our commitment to grass-fed led us to Nebraska to purchase "Bruno" (a Jersey grass-fed genetics bull). We visited grass-fed dairies to enhance our education in grass-fed dairying, but also to understand genetic traits of dairy animals that prosper in grass-fed dairies. We believe we have found great grass-fed genetics in Bruno. We look forward to our herd's future and believe they will produce fabulous milk and maintain excellent body condition. In the future we hope to offer his daughters for sale as home milk cows.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c2d1b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c2d1b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We are so thrilled our new milk processing is completed. It has been a labor of love with what began as a dream many years ago. The day has finally arrived and I am so pleased with the results of many hours of planning. I want to share these photos with you. </div>

We wanted the latest technology available so we bought a new bulk which travelled across the sea to Vermont then to us (Mason, Texas). It is a tremendous machine, it cools the milk within minutes and keeps the milk at a constant temperature. I love the icy cold milk right from the bulk tank! So happy to have this little gem. </div>

In our home we consume large amounts of grass-fed raw butter. We consider it a health food, therefore bare no shame in eating to our heart's desire. Over the years I have experimented with various methods of butter-making and I always return to hand-churning in a glass jar. Despite the repetitive motion and lengthly stillness of sitting, I find this a worthy task. I am sharing photos of our butter-making process.</span></a></div>
