At the Iowa State Fair. The girls are not at all happy about being pulled out of the pasture and crammed into a pen with fair goers trying to pet them all the time! The life of a showgirl!

After the paperwork, we are now getting the girls ready for the Iowa State fair. First step is clipping, then washing/shampoo. Next stop will be in the pens at the fair in Des Moines!

This summer we had a chance to participate in a national cheese contest called ACS. It was held in DesMoines IA this year and is where cheeseheads from across the US gather to act like-well "cheeseheads"! A cheese called "Sterling Reserve" was entered which is a cave-aged raw milk goat cheddar. Aged for 7 months here at Yellow River Dairy it took a red ribbon (2nd) it its catagory. More of this cheese is being aged, however it will be several months before it is ready.

This summer we expanded our cheesemaking capabilities by purchasing a second cheese vat and custom cheese press. This equipment will allow us to make more varieties of pressed cheeses which will give us more aging capabilities for year round store sales. Here is a picture of the new vat in use.
