Camels for milk, sounds good.

I remember John telling me that he had allowed a guy to take his camels into the compound to water and feed them and was rewarded with a glass of camels milk.  He said it tasted foul but he had to drink it or the Arab herdsman would have taken it as an insult.  Has the taste improved dramatically  or was he just unlucky to have been given bad milk?

Thank you, I think drinking fresh camel milk must be an acquired taste. I couldn't imagine drinking ANY milk warm, couple that with his glass of milk was probably not even strained or very clean?? I don't know. But it is a very delicious drink when the camel has been on nice fresh grass and good grain. Or maybe John was given a bad glass, the Arabs may have been playing a trick on him.

Heloo and welcome.  So what does your camel milk get used for? Who's your market. All very interesting. Opened my eyes to so many unusuals since being here.

Possibly, but he was well liked by the Arabs, he used to go running in the waddies so knew them all.  he worked in oil and ran the engineering side of the compound, which is why he was able to let the camels in - there was a sand storm I think.  Maybe it is just an acquired taste.  He wasn't much of  fan of plain milk anyway.

Thank you for the welcome and YES I will have 2 new little piggies delivered TOMORROW evening!!!!! I am getting them from a good friend where I used to live. Also, this morning my weather vane of the flying pig was delivered! I bought it to put on the top of the new "pig palace" my husband built! I'll take and post photos as soon as it's up. AND of my two new oinkers. I'm SO excited, I've had pigs before, but these will be the first on our new farm.

A capybara is the world's largest rodent.

Has anyone else noticed the colour of the sky in all these pictures?  Its BLUE  I didn't realise it came in that colour - I seem to have only seen White grey and black for some reson this year
Your place looks amazing, I am so jealous.

[cameldairy]

Thank you so much. I wouldn't make it very well if I didn't get blue skies most of the time. Did you know that a lot of the times it rains here, the crazy sun is still peeking through the clouds, but that's when the best rainbows appear. If it's too gray where you live just scoot on over here to my farm and get your share of the sunburns.

Please don't tempt me!  It has rained all day here and I'm looking out watching everything getting out of hand because I just can't get out there.  Never mind at least we don't have to worry too much about water shortages - I'm in Ireland by the way - moved here from London 3 years ago for the quiet life and some land - got the land and the quiet, but not the quiet life!!
