They are getting along great. He follows Mona around like a shadow and she just loves him...licks him and plays like him like he is a calf. He is really freindly with people too...a nice plus for such a little guy. My kids adore him. We named him Stewie.
That stinks that you got skunked this year too!!

I always have added some water...you can just get it off easily afterwards...it separates from the fat. I hate how it makes my house smell but beef fat makes the best soap for sure.

I have done it several times before-it is just time consuming! I like the soap though!!

If you are doing it in a slow roaster I would not think so. I don't usuall y even if I do it on the stove-you just have to do it low & slow.
