    got a nice buck Saturday!!!

    Thanks guys! I wanted to go hunting this week but too much going on in the evenings. Next week we'll be hunting as much as possible. I would like to get one or two more...we have some friends that could really use some extra meat and I wouldn't mind getting some more ground meat in the freezer...

    Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

    Well, the guy wasn't happy with the rabbits...said they were too small and only paid us $15 each for them. He can't have it both ways...if he wants them big then he will have to wait for them to grow to the size he wants. If he wants them NOW then he has to settle for whatever size they are...

    Pink Fox: its Raining...IN MY HOUSE! :/

    Could you use the 24 inch crate for the rabbits??? Maybe with some modification it would be good.

    My philosophy of tools / home shop

    I totally agree about older tools being better quality. I am trying to collect lots of hand tools for hubby and I. My 6 yr old is pretty good about going into my tool kit and getting what he needs. Last night he was banging around in his room and when hubby went in there to see what the banging...

    Homeschooling and manual skills?

    Yep, I have a son that is very physical and likes manual type projects. I love to do craft projects with them and plan on teaching both my children to sew. My husband loves to do woodworking and we usually involve the children when appropriate, mine are 6 and 4. My son loves to use his own tool...

    Pink Fox: its Raining...IN MY HOUSE! :/

    You're awesome! We were gonna go with 8 male guppies but now I may do 5 male guppies and the 5 tetras or cherry barbs. I will check and see if they have any shrimp, that would thrill my son, even though it is not his tank. I used to have a 10 gallon tank with mollys and platys and I loved...

    Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

    I sold 2 more to the lady at TSC, she saw me buying rabbit feed and we got to talking and she told me to hold two for her brother. I have to go by there today to tell her they are ready but I sold them to her for $10 each. Chad also sold one to a guy at work for $10 too. The guy that is buying...

    got a nice buck Saturday!!!

    Yep Dac, we usually get all the big stuff off and then go back and cut a lot of the little pieces and rib meat off to grind. If we have anything with too much tendon or membrane running through it we give it to the dogs or the chickens or both. My mom loved neck roast when my dad got a good buck...

    Oooooo...i'm excited for fish pics....how big is your tank? We just got a 10 gallon setup for Maddie for xmas. We are gonna get her guppies...I think maybe 8 fancy males and an algae eater. Chad is gonna get a few pieces of lumber for a cabinet in the garage and he was gonna get an extra...

    Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

    Hey BarredBuff...are you checking them out before you try to breed? You may want to look at the does vulva and see if it is pink and puffy...if not she probably isn't ready to breed. Same with the buck...if his testicles are full and painfully obvious then he is a good candidate but if they look...

    got a nice buck Saturday!!!

    So I went out and sat in my stand behind the house Saturday evening around 3:30 and at 5:15 in walked big boy....we had never seen this deer on our property before and after texting my husband to make sure it was okay to shoot him I took a shot and dropped him. It was so dark that I couldn't see...

    Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

    Chad surprised me and came home early from work and took the kids squirrel hunting so I could get some xmas stuff done. I bought a bunch of Littlest Pet Shop toys from the local consignment shop and had to soak everything in bleach water and then sort it all and decide who gets what. I also had...

I also have to do the signature patch on the back but here it is! It is the front of his house done to scale. It is white with blue for...

    Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

    Yeah, I sat down with Chad and told him that I was looking to break even on our costs for the farm...I'm considering the products we get from the livestock as profit. If I can make enough off the goats to buy their feed/hay/straw for the year then I'm happy with that. The milk we get from them...

    $5 Christmas Gift Exchange

    I like the idea of giving something useful....how about a cookbook? You can find some decent ones in the bargain bins at most stores. A potted plant is a great idea, especially in an office. Do you drink tea? You could buy a coffee mug from the dollar store and then stuff in lots of...
