    Carbadox in pig feed

    WOW! thanks for all the info guys! OFG: yep, that's the book that's on it's way. it's the newest edition (published last year) and i'm really excited. i devoured their chicken book, so it was a natural choice. i learned a lot more about chicken nutrition from some scholarly papers, but the...

    Carbadox in pig feed

    breeding or freezer, we haven't really decided yet. the goal was to get a couple for the freezer, but my brother's fiance picked out a girl... who is really starting to grow on everyone, so for now we're holding judgment. i'm picking up 2 boys from a different farmer in a few weeks, so those...

    Carbadox in pig feed

    good to know. she's definitely loving any scraps i give her. today she got some turkey hot dog that were a little bit past their use by date and she went crazy. loved them. so rotten fruit is good. what about slightly moldy bread? eta: feeding her apple slices is how i bribed her into liking...

    Carbadox in pig feed

    did you just happen to find that on Auel's website? i don't check her site very often, but i thought i had everything covered in the whole "alert me to important things" kind of way... guess not. i've had my copy pre-ordered for about 4 months. i started reading the series when i was 14 years...

    Beekeeping...for those interested!

    yeah, it was super neat! maybe i'll try that whole "just slap the swarm in a basket" technique in the spring... or maybe not. :th those extractors were very interesting. now i'm trying to figure out where i can buy one and if i can hook it up to a bicycle.

    Ride That Pig to Glory

    i noticed that too but i got the impression that their MAIN source of feed was pasture and the corn/soy blend (which is pretty typical even with "pastured" pork). all the other stuff he mentioned was just fed occasionally when it was free. i don't love the idea, but i feed my chickens and my pig...

    they aren't really FROM Seattle, they are just living there for his job. he's from here and she's from Spain originally but lived here for a while (which is how we all met). they LOVE it here and would move back in a heartbeat if they could find jobs here.

    Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

    i desperately wanted to do the same thing. cuddle up on the couch with a warm blanket and the dog and watch Sound of Music or something equally old/amazing. but friends from Seattle decided to come down at the last minute, so those plans are squashed. when someone travels across the country to...
