16 bags with 2 cup of corn to each bag. It was not hard to do, just takes time. The husking, the cleaning, blanching, cooling down, cutting off the cob and then to the freezer took about 3 hours.
Here's JuJu chomping on some corn husk and silk. It was kind of hard keeping them away from mine while I was taking care of the corn. They kept grabbing the corn that I was working on. I would quick husk some corn and toss that on the ground so that they would go for that instead of what I had in my hand. I didn't want them to gorge on the fresh stuff so I only let them have a few husk each then I started to bag it.
Abby likes fresh corn. I gave some to the goats but them were more into the husk and silk. Not the corn. Might be that they can't get it into their mouth. This is not a problem for Abby. She ate 3 cobs and I ate 2. They are so sweet and tender that they tasted good just the way they were.
Abby sure is getting a lot of gray on her muzzle but then old dogs are best!

ReplyDeleteSaw you where in Wisconsin and had to say Go Badgers!
ReplyDeleteYou are really turning into a garden girl. Tim suggested that next time you husk corn, you do it on the OUTSIDE of the goat pen. Duh. Or keep the goats in the pen.
ReplyDeleteMy older goat loves the entire corn cob. She scraps the corn off first then, eats the cob! But they all love the husks.
ReplyDeleteRecycling at its best!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of Abby. She has the "hey I'm tough" look.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the girls got a special treat too last night.
Yummy corn. We've got cats that steal the corn after it's husked. strange..
ReplyDeleteHey Patty, I was outside the goat pen, on the side yard. So tell Tim Duh! I try and let the goats out daily.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the corn. It is a bit of work though. We end up having family come over for a corn husking and do the whole process with many hands, then we spill the gold at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the goats. Ginger likes corn too.
I'm starting to get a few tomatoes now too. I have a golden variety that's nice. If you want to try some let me know.
