thanks for the reply carla. do you do this often?i am boiling the scraps for dog broth and food. pretty exciting to use more of the animal. i put the good fat in my crock pot to render. i still have about 75 lbs of stuff yet. its not all thawed yet so will do it tomorrow. happy days at the learn as i go farm sherrye

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.

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!!
