Another long day, beginning with yoghurt making in the morning. Most of making yoghurt is waiting for the milk to heat up and sanitising a lot of quart jars.
Then there's a brief fun period of filling all the jars as quickly as you can...followed by waiting for it to become yoghurt. But that takes hours and you can go do other things.
Other things such as wrestling sheep! This afternoon Andrew and I went through all the sheep, with Andrew trimming all the ewes hooves. While he was doing that, I chased down all the lambs and recorded what ewes had which lambs, gave the ewe lambs that will be staying in the herd ear tags, and banded the ram lambs to castrate them. It was quite the task, with 18 sets of hooves to trim and 21 lambs to process. There is still one more ewe that hasn't had her lambs, and then they can all go to pasture for the summer.

So we finished that around 6, and then I went back to the yogurt incubator. It had undergone the magical process of coagulation and was ready to move to the cooler, so I did that and was finally done.
