Just made a qt of cottage cheese 🙂 I like it for breakfasts, with some fruit. Also use it at dinner with garlic bread & tomato -- bruschetta fashion with olive oil. Yum. Might sound strange to some but, cottage cheese is good food nutritionally. 👍

2.5 pints of peach butter... Got 4 trays of slices in dehydrator.

Listening to video, I think 5-6' on center will give good coverage. Plus at 6', one less tree...$. Buy taller.

Yep....even the lowly chicken is way up in price!! Yikes. I just picked up some split breasts at $1.29#, a loss leader. Have a good amount canned chicken but these I vac sealed for frying in winter. Love fried with skin on -- a treat as I don't fry a lot. Have a couple whole frozen, plus...

The peel color is beautiful 😍

Off we go....😁

Wheat crackers, topped with soft goat cheese & apple butter...really tasty for breakfast. Been doing good all day and mostly done with today's list. I'm having a coffee break! Much warmer out today but humidity is really low, light breeze, makes it quite pleasant. My hen took her batch of...

Now is when you could use one of those fabric saddles they have for hens. 🥰

Same here. Use more ground & only occasionally a steak. Like them but, only if really tender. I enjoy a good roast....extras into sandwiches or soups. :idunno

So coffee was first 😂 then I could read my days list. Heavy house cleaning all week, while I'm off job work. Chores happened. Some follow ups done. Feed order placed...will pick up when I go to town for the lawn tractors starter solenoid :idunno Repairs never seem to end. In honor of Labor...

We can see the parted out prices at the grocery stores...makes sense to see bulk sides & quarters. Of course, it's overall a better price for each part being "equally" valued as a whole. I used to raise, 30 yrs ago 😂. Today, not doing. I buy some in bulk. It's just good to know these...

@Hinotori is that price for hanging weight? I suspect it is.

Of course, with cut loss, the take home meat is closer to $9 per #, than $5.40. We're not gonna win🤷 Pay rail weight, take home useable is less. Of course, you can take home all the "loss" portion. Render tallow, bone broth & dog foods. Lessens actual "loss" by using it in some way.

I have a store a little further with better pricing than my close towns. But usually primal cuts & not always as tender as what I prefer. 🤷 They do have a far better chicken, however....quality wise & good for sale prices. That's why I even tried their beef. Oh well -- times are changing :old

Are you still milking goat(s), or dried them off? I'm at one, 1X....😊

Corrections :lol: 8 from incubated...6 pullet, 2 roo. 4 hen hatched...2 pullet, 2 roo 3 just hatched...2 pullet, I roo Great...makes 10 new layers, assuming all survive until then....plus the 4 bought BOs. 14 eggers. Same for BOs purchased, 4 pullets, 1 roo. They are doing very well...

That is laughingly adorable!!! New perspective. 👍😁🥰

Ground beef prices :ep so glad the farmers are getting great $$ for cattle BUT -- a hamburger costs what a steak once did 🥴 I like lean, 93% usually, and it's at $9 a pound. 85% wasn't much less. Steaks $14- 24. Yeah, baby!! 😵‍💫 it's shocking to see. I have a few London broil frozen, & some...

3 chicks. One egg abandoned, one egg had full term chick that didn't get out at piping, 😔

Nice job! Always good to have free areas to use. Who's black dog?
