Default Mesquite flour starter

I have to agree with Sam,

if you want a flock of sheep why buy cows or in your case a couple of
sheep and a herd of cows? The best you'll get is cows and a few sheep
but unlike a farmer you won't be able to do a head count. You wouldn't
have a clue what thrived making your experiment meaningless.
