The last three steers we have processed have been 100% grass fed, and we won't do it again. The first one tasted fine. The second one was so awful we couldn't eat the meat plain, it had to be heavily seasoned. The third was better than the second but not as good as the first. All three were...

Thanks!

I'm hoping we can finish the barn. We got all the poles in the the ground several months ago, but DH was working 80-90 hours a week all summer/fall and the last thing he wanted to do when he got home was work on my honey-do list :lol: He did get the middle beam up last week with the help of...

If I'm using raw milk I don't have to use calcium chloride, right? And if I let the milk clabber, can I skip the thermophilic culture when I make mozzarella? I wish I could find a book of raw milk recipes that tell me how all these things where made a hundred years ago before everything became...

I love my long skirts! The only problem is I have such a hard time finding them. I have two that are a light gauzey type material that is AI comfy and cool in the summer time, I would love to wear them in the garden but I'm afraid they'd get town and I wouldn't find a replacement.

I reuse what I can and what I can't gets mixed with the scraps that we feed the pigs.

I guess the tip for my long-winded story is to make sure you have animals that best fit your actual situation and not try to make the situation fit the animal. If you don't want to feed grain, find an animal that does well without it because not all will. My second tip is learn about pasture...

I have found with my Jerseys that grain has nothing to do with production. About two months ago I went from getting 4 gallons a day to less than 1 gallon because all of our summer grass was dying off. I upped the grain amount, upped the protein, made sure they had free choice hay, did...

I use a cheap plastic bowls with a screw on lid to keep my baking soda in the shower. I use 1/2 a medicine cup full of baking soda and mix with water to make a paste then scrub my hair with it. It was a little weird at first to get used to the texture of the paste and no suds. After that is...

I've been using baking soda as shampoo and vinegar to rinse. Both cheap and easy, my kind of recipe :D

I'm ok with it too. I'd rather see a horse slaughtered than starved and abused.

I guess the part that bothered me the most was the part where they take the kid away from the parents because the kid didn't want to go to church 3 times a week and the parents were making him. If they can legally justify that, then there is a whole slew of things a judge can decide to take...

I am willing to volunteer a couple hours a day. I don't post much, but I do spend a lot of time reading here everyday.

At the risk of opening a can of worms, can someone explain the other side of the argument? The movie scared the crap out of me when I saw it last week. I don't see how parents could not be bothered by it.

I'be tried to make ACV twice now. The first time I juiced my apples there was quite a bit of pulp left in the jar and before it turned to vinegar I had mold growing on top. The second time I strained the juice better and I didn't have any problems with mold. I honestly don't know if the pulp...

We're in middle GA, but I grew up gardening in Nebraska. Still trying to figure out this two growing seasons stuff

So funny! I want one!
