Bessie will thrive on the love and attention and you are so right to move forward and let those negative comments become 'water off a duck's back' - they are not worthy of your time or energy. Thanks for giving so much to so many. :) JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10523140542123451065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-60861344868511352882013-10-10T06:50:00.219+11:002013-10-10T06:50:00.219+11:00I'm so very impressed by your bravery in inves...I'm so very impressed by your bravery in investing in a cow. Its a dream of mine, but I'm so nervous about the day we finally make the leap. And ignore the meanies in the comments. I've gotten that too (someone criticizing the names I've chosen for my children), and I just couldn't believe anybody would take time out their day just to be mean. What's the point? They are obviously insecure or jealous. Good luck with the cow! I look forward to watching your learning process!noel from tibault and toadhttp://www.tibaultandtoad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-40507359430923272282013-10-10T04:28:57.167+11:002013-10-10T04:28:57.167+11:00Hello,

I put it in a low-moderate oven and every now and then I poured the liquid through a strainer (as it melted down). It took most of the day, but it was only 2 minutes here and there of attention so it was really quite easy. Totally different colour to the supermarket lard!Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123593037593548003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-70515784514324183312013-10-09T07:21:50.785+11:002013-10-09T07:21:50.785+11:00Visiting from Rhonda's blog, so hello.

I was wondering what you'll do with the lard, and how do you "make" it? I was talking lately to a friend who wanted to use the lard from the animals, but didn't didn't know how or what.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-22239674673733527362013-10-09T06:49:05.859+11:002013-10-09T06:49:05.859+11:00Hi Tania, I think one of the things I like best ab...Hi Tania, I think one of the things I like best about your blog is the content about family life.
