G'day S A, Your reply raised a few questions , 1.the floor of the cages are clear of the ground? 2.using chickens to turnover the manure,does this not raise a lot of dust?From memory Rabbits are susceptible to to respiratory illness. 3. The wet manure will most certainly...

G'day DD,we live on the East coast of Australia. My Kids:I guess all you need is gluten free flour?(saw it in our supermarket this week). N Chan.Jenny just used SKI Yogurt from Woolies. Let us know what you think when you get round to making it .OK...

I found this recipe for Jenny,she has made it and its GREAT! Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon Dutch-processed cocoa . 2 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup Dutch processed cocoa(any "good"cocoa will suffice) 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)...

Here's a further update,the Ram is on the left and the wether on the right was also "flystruck" but in the hip region,it's interesting to note that there is no sign of the strike and he has held his condition much better. Shiloh Acres:I'm surprised that you have to resort to mister's for your...

G'day Gang,welcome back ,hope you enjoy your visit with us. Wed was another awful day ,still blowing a gale,as I had the ewe lambs in the shed I thought I might as well drench and crutch/belly shear them(46 + 1 grandmother).Now I forgot to mention before that I always "shear the grandmothers"...

G'day Gang,how'ya'goin?.............This morning we awoke to a "howling gale",it was blowing at about 80 MPH and "as cold as"(remember M I L K),anyway as I had those lambs looked up overnight and it was to cold to "shear",I thought it would be a good idea to "drench them" and take off the belly...

Hi Gang ,we are sure you remember this little ram,here are some photo's I took today. As you can see it all healed up nicely,he has suffered a set back in his growth ,but otherwise is OK,we will see how he goes this Spring.But he will never be used for "breeding"...

G'day gang,hope you are all well?............Its been a while,but it has been both busy and exhausting,so I have just not had the energy to update the journal...... Last Thursday was as usual Retail Therapy and as usual we picked up the weeks mail.This week there was a letter from the Shire...

Hi Gang,WELL!! Guess what ? we awoke this morning and its still raining.It appears that an East-coast Low has developed and we can expect this to keep up for another couple of days...The problem is that its just light showers of rain and all told we have only had about 1in so far ,no run off...

G'day Gang,I'm "dammed" if I can work out the time difference between us and yourselves,in spite of ~GD's best efforts(I changed the profile again ,so I hope I have it right now)....... So today(monday) set about getting the floor finished,it was fine until about lunch and then the showers...

G'day, what do you all think of this method. The drill bit, Tungsten bit,like the type they use to put a hole in a tile in the bathroom. Drill the holes at a LOW speed so little heat is generated Use Dynebolts to secure...

G'day,how"yer"goin,todays will be a short one as it has been showery rain for most of the day and the rain is so cold that it is almost snow..........Laying the "paver's" went well today and it should all be done to morrow,I 'm sure I am confusing some of you about this task.The paving stones...

G'day gang and welcome,today(Sun) we awoke to another "foggy" morning after 1&1/2 mm of rain overnight......After "brekkie"I compacted another section of the floor ready for the paver's. After that I picked up the "dogs" and went off to check the sheep.The main group of ewe's are running on 80...

G'day,welcome back and we hope you enjoy your stay with us. Today(Sat) I got to start laying the paver's(I guess there are people who do this for a living)its a slow and difficult job(IMV),to get a straight edge and lay the first 2 rows took me 3 hrs to do 2&1/2 meters,in all today I got down...

Hi Kate, the White Suffolk was developed in Aussie so the meat benefit could be retained but without the "black hairs" ending up in the "white" Merino wool. http://www.google.com.au/search?rlz=1C1SKPC_enAU363AU396&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=white+suffock+studs%2FUSA Thanks for...

G'day everyone,this morning(FRI)we awoke to a huge fog and the ground is still to damp to venture out.....So I thought a quick post may be in order...... Q & A:Lady H.Perhaps the following could be worthwhile considering,living in LA,what is the quality of your rainwater?.............You may...

Hi DL, saw your post so I thought I would reply before I "hit the sack". At 46 you are still a "young chicken"(well "point of lay" anyway):weee.....The floor is so it drains and stays "dry under foot" and if you can keep the poo's under control its easy to rake off and re-use in the...
