WOW! What a great job recycyling! :clap

You're right about the urea but, it seems to me it was something else. If I could only remember. You also have to watch the iron and copper with sheep. Which is also a good point with mixing with goats as their feed may contain copper. But, if you have a feed mill near you, you could have...

:lol: Beekissed, you have said that in the future you may get a calf. One word of advise is that calves do better with a companion. I'm not sure if the sheep would fit the bill or not. The only sheep and cattle operation I know keep them separate due to the sheep not being able to have some of...

I don't have goats, but that looks great! :thumbsup

FarmFresh, I do agree! It makes me sick to see cattle confined in those feed lots! It's good for them to be out on the land wandering around even in the winter. Our heifers have pastures and are allowed to get the exercise they need. The cows have a pasture of their own too! The corn fed farm...

I know mine like it. Not sure about feeding it raw as I've always fed it cooked but, if it's cold out, it could be a nice warm treat for them.

Land O' Lakes is a good brand. You can get either medicated or not medicated. You just need to decide what is best for you. I'm not sure about how they would handle the raw egg. We feed grain but, I know your looking for a different way. We also use a probiotic. The one we use is called...

It's good though that they recognized and admitted the possiblity and recalled their product.

Sorry, I've been gone. You have stated that grain can be used in small amounts for baiting. That is still graining. It doesn't take mamoth amounts to help them get through the cold. I never stated that it had to be huge amounts. In fact, if you will recall I said, that if to much corn is fed...

Good question and this isn't the first outbreak in peanut butter in the last year. Does anyone know enough about the making of peanut butter to explain how this might happen?

I believe your referring to the quality of the grass put up. But, we just had a week of sub-zero temps and believe me that is hard on a living being. The best quality forage put up isn't going to be enough for cattle to survive it, at least in my experience and many others. Our large heifers...

It has been my experience that if given a good quality milk replacer calves do well. I also feel that in milkreplacer, you get what you pay for. Meaning the cheaper the milkreplacer the less quality you get. We buy our milk replacer from the feedmill and pay $80+ for a 50 pound bag. Sure we...

Beekissed, some here will take a rake or something similar and scratch the ground once it's been grazed down and then broad cast the seed from the type of grass they want. It's suppose to work good and thickens the good grasses that you want without the tillage. Some marbling of fat throughout...

If you have a choice they prefer sticks from fruit trees as those carry a fruity taste but, any good quality, nontoxic stick will work. I'm with FarmerChick in having had rabbits in the same hutch for years with minimal damage.

I have to wait for the end of May for the garden. If I'm really lucky the cold weather stuff can go in mid May. Eggs can go into the incubator earlier though! :) Do you have a three season porch that you could put her in to adjust back to the cold weather? Other wise maybe wait for a "warm" day...

Protein is high priced and that maybe why they say to drop it at the end of laying cycle but, my girls stay on the samething year round. On my bag it states that it's a complete feed and they don't need anything more. That maybe but, they still get their scratch, treats, and egg shells/oyster...

Our morgage on the farm was less than that a month!

I have several Mirros. They have the seals and I have not had any trouble with them unless the seal is bad. Then the seal leaked moisture when building pressure (right away) and I just shut it down and switched pressure canners.

So sorry to hear you lost Maggie. She sounds like a wonderful dog. Now is not the time to decide whether or not you want another puppy/dog. Take the time to heal first and decide later. Loosing a good friend animal or human takes a lot out of us. :hugs

Yeah, but, one needs an oven of some sort to bake in! I prefer not to go back to the old wood cooking stoves!
