I vaguely remember a thread on this awhile back (maybe)? But I couldn't find it. Dh and I are looking to really start stocking up our pantry. Just wondering where everyone bought their bulk foods? Online or a brick and mortar store, either or.

Yay!! Glad to see you back!

Dh bought them one day and brought them home. i flipped out and told him to not buy them again. they suck. all they have are the small mouthed ones at our store and the lids and rings rust in no time flat and just look and feel cheap. we'll certaintly be sticking with ball jars. and i also...

:Holy crapola batman! When it rains it poors! Now that miss betsy seems to be on the mend we found emmy limping around the barn this morning! it seems like she may have pulled something in her shoulder but i'm always paranoid of deeper darker things. she just stands there staring and shifting...

Hey guys! Thanks for the kind words. We just got back from watching the kids today. I'm slowly coming to terms with it all. I knew with my head that this would be for the best, but slowly I'm starting to feel that with my heart also. And Miss Betsy is doing better already it seems. Her fever...

As if this week couldn't get any worse...one of the goats has mastitis. :hit Her production really went down the last couple of days and she was just acting off. Then last night she had a discharge coming from her udders. And she had a fever. Uggghhh....I feel so bad that she doesn't feel well...

Couldn't agree more...that was such as huge realization for DH and I.

Thanks guys! And yes, in this situation it will be. Not that I have much say, just very emotionally invested. I don't want to get into too many details for obvious reasons. But as of now this person has more DNA involved and seems to be a good guy who just wants the best for her. But like I...

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Just recieved some devastating (to me) news today regarding the two little ones I talked about a little earlier. It could definetely work out really well for one of them, and it would put her where she probably should be. And if these folks really care as much as they seem to...But it would...

There'a quite a few good videos on youtube too. Lots of different designs.

I've been using herbal wormers to date. From what I've read you don't have to dump milk while using an herbal wormer. But I'm not sure that herbals cover all parasites and sometimes you have to pull out the really big guns for a bad worm problem. But I haven't had to do that thus far, so I'm not...

Both of our goats seem to be drying up. Over the last couple of weeks their amounts have fluctuated but tonight they both only did about half a quart. Normally do about 3 times that each at least. We started them on kopsel about the same time and both their conditions and coats seemed to...

:thumbsup on all accounts! Especially on the fans and locks! I always felt so bad for the rabbits that sat there in the heat with no frozen water bottle or fan with all those people in and out and other critters there as an extra stress. People always dumbfounded me, why would you take an...

All of my county fair experience was through a local 4H organization. So some of it might be different for an adult entering an animal. At our fair only 18 and under could enter through either an FFA or 4H group. If you do any kind of market animal there is a weigh in day you have to attend...

Chihuahua mix. Her ears weigh more than her body. :)

We total newbies to the whole process but it seems idiot proof! :lol: There are lots of people on here very experienced with this type of gardening. And I'm sure searches on here will bring up all kinds of fun threads on it. We like the idea of it b/c I can argue with using free leaves and old...

Just some silly pics from around the farm. My "Farm Dog" I don't have the heart to tell her most of the chickens weigh more than she does :lol: A good farm dog and a rooster whackin' stick...don't leave home without em! Silly goaties. One of them got her head stuck trying to bust out of...

:thumbsup And I guess the buzzword of the day is.....BALANCE!! :lol:
