our vet does a donation based clinic for stray/barn cats. i would call area vets or pound to see if they have something similar. not sure on the wormer, but flea treatment can be a simple (haha) dish soap bath.

thanks for the info. I can't get the melt it stuff to turn out the way i want so not to worry on trying it. my mom thinks i'm nuts i'm sure she would really see it as crazy if i started 'washing' her wood ash.

ok lye water? is it really just wood ash rinsed? as in clean out your wood burner, add water and make soap? is it really that simple?

wintering a cow takes 2300 pounds of hay (avg). production rations 27pounds hay a day. for a jersey size. grain rations i've read 3 1/2 pounds per gallon of milk. I don't have a cow i'm getting all this out of a book. but hope it helps. and cows poo alot so it will help your soil...

7 months or 80 lbs. call local butcher shop and see what they like.

i have a small lot .25 acres in all, including what house sits on. on that i have2 goat. 9+ chickens, 4 kids 2 legged kind, dogs, cats, gardens. i compainion plant. you can fit so much in a little space that wayplus weeds are fewer. plus i'll plant stuff in flower beds. there r 3 peppers...
