We live off grid in Southern Oregon and raise Nubians. I found out the same thing about making butter to goats milk, it has to be in the fridge for a while. I have no idea why but I was so frustrated with it for when I first started until I accidentally figured it out. When I was first making it I got really frustrated and “gave up” for the day thinking I would go at it again the next day. I put the watery mess into the fridge. A few hours later, I went to get something out of my fridge and discovered it had become butter by letting it get really cold. I was shocked but I pulled and began the ice water wash and before I knew it, I had butter. I couldn’t believe it. I find that leaving it in the fridge for a few hrs will do the trick but the cream has to be super cold before it becomes butter. Must have something to do with the molecules in goat milk vs cow, I really don’t know. I was thrilled to hear you had come to the same conclusion because I was thinking I had done something wrong. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Loved this video. Thank you for sharing. We love butter and have goats but we know the milk does not separate like cows milk. I'm looking forward to watching your channel.
I love this kitchenaid, I’ve had it for 15 years or so now. It was one of the very few electric kitchen appliances I kept when we moved off grid. 😊 Thanks for watching. Happy Saturday friend!
Wow, you make this look easy but I’m very impressed. I have lactose issues with cow’s milk products but weirdly I can eat goat cheese. I’d love to try the butter so thanks for the tutorial and the idea. Happy Friday.

Hey Kinney! Great question. They are very similar, but I’d say that the goat butter has a little more mild flavor. Keep in mind that our goat milk tastes awesome and some goats milk taste like armpits. So, it’s possible that armpit flavored milk makes less than stellar butter. Just a guess. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy Saturday!
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska That's not so bad then. I haven't made butter in a few years. I used my food processor & my kitchenaid. Pretty slick with the paper towels!
Hey Shelby , great question. Our milk is not pasteurized. It comes straight from the goats. In order to pasteurize milk, it needs to be heated to 186° or so. Since we’re just heating this milk up to about 100° to help the milk and cream, separate, it’s not pasteurized. Thanks for watching in commenting. Have a great day.
Ms Chrystal, you are one of a kind. You can make anything good out of the simplest things and make it look great 👍. Enjoy waiting and watching your video's. Keep up the great work 👍 👏. It is 77* right now but it will warm up to 84* and feel like 92* before the day ends. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
@ Mary Jahnke - It's kinda nice to start the day with her bubbly, upbeat video. Hope you & yours are doing well! Have a great weekend. I may just get to make a quick run down & back to FL this Sun/Mon. Hang on to the great weather for a few days for me! Take care. 🙏

Oh that’s awesome!! I thought my goats were a fluke. Ha! Be blessed friend.

@@may_media thanks! Don’t be afraid to ask if you have any questions. I try to help wherever I can.💕
We all stick utensils in while it’s moving 😮
Ha!
Very interesting. That mixer is so useful, especially in these types of projects. Thank you for sharing.

I’m making my first goat milk butter today. Thank you for sharing your video. Very helpful!
I’m so happy you found it helpful! Good luck friend.

Thanks. 💕💕💕
Goats milk is naturally homogenized, which is why it is difficult to separate out that fats (:

Very cool, Thanks for sharing. Are you making ice cream next?
Not this year for sure. But maybe a good idea for next year. With strawberries and blueberries!
Keep up the good work you explain things well ❤
Thanks friend 💕
Butter muslin can be boiled to clean it. The heat will melt the fat and remove it from the cloth.
First time I have seen butter made from goat milk….very cool! Does the flavour differ much from cows milk?
Hey Kinney! Great question. They are very similar, but I’d say that the goat butter has a little more mild flavor.

That was awesome! Roughly how long is that process for you each time you make butter?
Not including the dishes, once the cream has been in the fridge for a day, about 30 minutes or less.

@@sandijammes7761 I saw Chelsea from little mountain ranch use a vita-mix to make butter from cream. Pretty smart!
Is your milk pasteurized?
