I have one of the older kindles that's just a reader, not a touch or anything else. I like it a lot. I enjoy a lot of the free books I can get and have found new authors that I might not have tried, cause I'm cheap and don't like to pay tons for books. One thing to keep in mind is it's very...

And nothin' says "freeze" like that good ol double click! I agree with a .22 and a good shotgun, those are about the minimum I'd go with. A heavier rifle if you're hunting deer or I guess hogs *never hunted hogs so I really don't know* and other things larger than varmit sized. Now, for more...

I have two horses that do nothing but turn hay into manure for me. I'll send one right over :D Seriously, add organic material. Don't go broke doing it, find stuff for free. It really doesn't matter what it is......manure, leaves, grass clippings, compost, etc.

Just wanted to update this thread about the onion/garlic in honey. I made some up last month-ish--maybe 5 weeks ago? when I had a sore throat. I coarsely chopped some onion and garlic, poured honey to cover in a glass bowl. My honey was local raw, BUT someone in my family had NUKED it at one...

Yep, I love not being afraid of my food! Home made mayo with my own eggs.........yum!

I've run chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys all together with no problems. It would be a good idea to make sure the males of the more aggressive birds have females to mate, just to protect the less aggressive females. I've heard of drakes hurting hen chickens by trying to mate them, but I've...

Did you ask for the free chick? Just wondering if it'll be an easter egger cockerel, they've been quite popular from there! If I had space I'd do the same thing, raise a bunch to point of lay and sell them. Lots of folks don't want to deal with chicks (and lots of folks just shouldn't try!) and...

How old are your birds? Are they just molting? I guess it doesn't matter, if you don't want to feed non producing animals then by all means, don't. Butcher them and replace. I don't know where you can get that number of chicks from a hatchery except my pet chicken, and as stated they run...

We've burned through 2 regular foodsavers. The first one did a fair amount of work before it died, the second one lasted a few months at most. We're currently finishing out 2 hogs and have a goat and some fowl that are also going to be butchered. Some of the meat will be canned but most will be...

:yuckyuck

I was raised with the theory that chickens will eat anything that doesn't eat them first lol. I think you just need to take your cues from your flock. Your egg production may be less than on commercial food, or it may not. But if your birds are alert, active and laying reasonably well for age...

I think you could sub lard or coconut oil. I don't even like jalapenos but this sounds quite good to me!

Well, I'd set up an appointment to go look at them tomorrow, but after more discussion with my honey he's asked me to hold off. He feels we're just not in a right place to add a cow. :( So, if anyone else in Southern Oregon wants to look, I've got contact info! They sure seem like a nice deal...

Mine's the same basic thing, 'cept since I'm using good raw milk I don't heat it up as much, I read the heat kills off some of the good stuff. I warm it to 120, then add a big dollop of yogurt (you have to start with store bought, but then save some each time for your starter next time) and stir...

I'd wanted to go look at them last Friday or Saturday but was sick. Sick like curled up in bed for 48 hours sick. Btw, the onion and garlic in honey thing works a treat! So, haven't followed up. Don't even know if they're still available. Other things kinda been going on, so I'll contact them...

Thanksgiving........Thanksgiving............isn't that at the END OF NOVEMBER??? :barnie Ya'll are driving me nuts............I have no blessed idea what we're having for thanksgiving! I know we're having chicken leg quarters tonight and leftovers tomorrow, after that I'm tapped!

Thanks for the good thoughts. Honey's a little leary of the fact they've been resold quickly twice now...........I think it's just circumstances but he thinks there's something wrong with the animals. I guess we'll see. Deb......when I was buying and selling horses a lot I loved to see someone...

I was terrified of the pressure canner at first. I was never worried about making anyone sick, I was worried about exploding steaming water with glass in it! I've now been pressure canning for six-ish years and never had a problem. Start with water bath, get the Ball Blue Book, or even better...

Well here's what we heard back on e-mail...... Hello - we can tell you only a little - we did talk to a previous owner and Rosie (momma) was purely used for breeding, without much handling - he was just using steers for meat and selling off heiffers. She calved easily and dependably every...

I was reading the article to my honey and he said when he lived in Gilroy 30 years ago it was common for cows to be fed leftover or seconds of candy. The truckers would deliver it in 10lb bags and sometimes drop a bag off for their family. He said it was creme-type candies, not chocolate so...
