The Story of a Yonderhill Pony: The Battle of Yonderhill

Just a quick note on Miriam. She’s recovering fine and while she’s yet to put much weight on her hoof, I’ve managed to help her stand and exercise. I’ve also undertaken the effort of milking her. Somepony needed to and Miriam was looking a little desperate. No real problems there, learning how to milk cows is one of the first things anypony learns at the veterinary college. I was a little rusty, but Miriam was patient and talked me through it and gave me tips about what works best for her. At the very least, her milk looked healthy.

The bigger problem is the pasteurization process. I understand the mechanics of it and while I could cobble something together out of the equipment here, it’s easier to just take the raw milk to the market and let Cheddar Wedge deal with it. I may have to find a long term solution, but I don’t know if I’m going to survive long enough for there to be a long term.
