robl12 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Never seen goats milked on this scale before. There is a farm near Maud in Aberdeenshire that has just sold that had a parlour for sheep and a cheese making area. Quote
JohnDeereMan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 About 300 acres but there is no need for all that now we have gone out of cows. Its about 50p a litre - it goes to york to be bottled and made into yogurt. It appears at morrisons sainsburys etc Quote
