Hey - that meat looks awesome!!! Our pig is going to the butcher this Sunday, he was suppose to go last Sunday but something came up for the butcher and had to postpone it a week. I am really going to miss him, I know that his purpose was meat but he is a great guy. I "weighed" him with the...

I have read that charcoal wood is a good wormer for pigs. He sure did enjoy chewing on it. :)

Dh and I found out in mid December that we hopefully be welcoming a new addition to our family in August. Very excited about the prospect of having our final child. Life has been crazy and I am exhausted but trying to catch up on my blog and hopefully on here.

This week has been interesting to say the least. On Monday everything was fine around here and by Tuesday morning our pig was not eating. I wasn't too concerned yet as I talked to an old timer pig farmer and he told me that he probably ate something and would be fine in about two days. That...

Well the youngest has been in PT for four years now and will be the rest of her life. Hopefully the oldest will be done in about two months!

Reading this breaks my heart for you but also for me as it opens a fresh wound that is just scabbing over. My bf divorced her hubby nine months ago and dropped me as a friend in the process. I miss her desperately, email her, facebook, call her but less and less. I am trying to let go but it...

Life just keeps rolling along. I now have three chickens in the stew pen and several banded with a zipcord which means they get to stay. If they lay an egg in the cage or if I catch them in the nest box then I put a zipcord on the right leg. Moved the 31 baby chicks into a big brooder...

I just run mine through the dishwasher or wash them in a sink of hot soapy water and I am alive sitting here able to type this reply to you. :P I have never boiled my jars or rings or stuck them in the oven. I do boil my lids though. Honestly though I don't know what safety precautions they...

Aly and Becca, when I first starting posting on here you two were so kind to me. I am glad to hear that all is going semi-well on the homefront. :)

Well then hello neighbor in a close state. I am in Idaho. I have Royal Palms and will have poults in the spring but nothing right now.

I am sorry to hear about your turkeys! It might help with your search though if you listed your location, just a suggestion.

I have to agree, you have great taste in music!

We call this CORD or CORN at our house. :) CORD - Clean Out Refrigerator Day CORN - Clean Out Refrigerator Night

I have been feeling awful lately and I know it is due to my diet, eating habits, drinking too much Coke and lack of exercise. In a way taking care of this now would be self sufficient because I won't have to pay for doctors, medicine, tests, and other medical stuff lately, hopefully. Anybody...

Thanks for clearing that up because I was also wondering what that meant.

Thanks but if not then I will know what to do. I may even wait two days to see what happens but then if not definitely time to process.

When I went out to lock up the chickens for the night I pulled out two nice size cages and then picked up two hens off the roost. I really hope they lay because one is one of my more favorite Buff Orpingtons and the other is a very pretty Silver Wyandotte. However "pretty: does not provide any...

I was really shocked at the prices I got and I called three different stores. Amazing really!

Thanks for your input. I went with All Stock (may not be the best choice) because it was $6.59 per 50 lbs of feed where as the whole corn or crack corn was $12.00 per 50 lbs. Cracked Corn, Oats (whole or rolled) were also 40 lbs for $12.00. I did find BOSS for $12.99 though also. They free...

Awww, since you have been sick I guess we will excuse you this time! :P I am glad you shared even without pics but I will be looking tomorrow!
