This is adorable!

I have a pig that was weaned in July hope to butcher in late November - Early December. I feed him as little medicated feed as possible and lots of windblown fruit, veggies, bread and food scraps from our house only. We don't feed him any meat. Do I need to worm him and if so with what. I am...

Yum, I love it when dh makes jerky. We marinate it in clean 5 gallon buckets and then stick it in the smoke house. Oh yum, deer season starts on Sunday, I can taste the jerky!

:welcome; will look forward to reading your journal!

My geese are a pair of Tufted Buff and they have earned their forever home. Sweet geese except during the spring. One day a shady looking unmarked van parked in the road and not the driveway so the dogs who were in the house didn't bark. A man got out of the van and instead of coming to the...

Sounds like you are really busy. Our family is involved with AWANAs also, love the program!

Today we extended the goat pen quite a bit so it is not allon a hill anymore, YEAH, no more falling down in the mud in the winter. We also built them a nice new lean-to area to get out of the weather and it is big enough for their hay and grain to go in there. I am so happy. :) Total cost was...

So glad you did so good at your sale, that is a wonderful start! :)

I am not sure if I can be much help but when we picked up our weiner pig he stunk so very much. They feed them a mixture of this horrible smelling stuff and it was all over them. IT WAS AWFUL! After getting him home and letting that horrible smell wear off, it is much much better. It is very...

Beautiful flowers, how pretty in your front yard!

I wanted to raise a pig this year and researched it for hours and I mean hours. I decided to just raise one pig and I heard how this would not work and it would take longer to feed out. My way of thought was does it really matter how long it takes to feed out as long as it is not consuming the...

We have ducks, 3 Cayugas, 4 Welsh Harlequins, and 7 Runners. I have to be honest I love my ducks although I have too many and have some listed for sale right now. The eggs are awesome for baking and for making hamburger steak. Mine are quite demanding and expect their breakfast and dinner at a...

Oh I wish I could remember what rain look like, if it ever shows its head again I will put out my houseplants. What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing it!

My grandma used to make persimmons jelly and she really like it. Will check your blog in a minute!

I want to say first that I think no question is truly silly, however I have questions all the time that I won't ask because I am afraid that everybody will think I am dumb! :hide:D I am not really sure, these were broke in half. I would say that it would take about 6 to 8 whole corn cobs. Now...

Okay the people who brought the corn for this event brought a ton extra and they gave the leftovers to me. After sharing alot of it with several people I canned 13 quarts and 1 pint. Pretty happy with that as it was free corn that had already been husked and everything. The leftover...

No they are day old baby chicks, I will raise them until they are about 12 weeks old and then sell half of them to recoup my cost. I had amazing luck with them laying last time, hopefully it will be the same this time!

I believe that special was only for Monday shipping. It was a good deal.

I haven't really started thinking about Christmas yet BUT definitely need to for sure. I think I will make pinecone fire starters for the family members that have wood stoves. They are easy, cheap and everybody loves them.

I have to be honest raising meaties was way more enjoyable than I expected. I actually liked them better than some of my chickens as they were way more friendly. I started mine out in the shop and then at two weeks old I moved them outside to free-range. I always thought meaties would just...
