Ugh on family drama...sigh. But great news on a free pig! May it grow swiftly and deliciously.

Keeping fingers crossed for you! Good luck with the drama and projects. The tractor would be a huge help for you guys.

And I drank coffee this morning, an hour later and the pain is back. Gotta go shopping for fake milk products I guess. Maybe I'm not a very good dairy farmer lol! I told my husband I probably won't be doing dairy goats if I can't drink milk, I'll get some triple purpose sheep and milk occasionally for him and the girls but it'll change how I cook so we won't need much milk.

Waiting to hear about the tractor now...

That stinks in such a big way! MY DH used to do almond milk...course he got the regular unsweetened cuz it had less carbs - but I gotta say that the vanilla flavored tasted much better!

I like almond milk, so I'm going to get some. And I'm doing vanilla, lol because it's just for my coffee!

Hey I want to deworm Patty but she might be pregnant, what are the ones I can't use on pregnant does? I have safegard, ivermectin and cydectin. I can't remember! Yeah I know I should get a fecal, but it's been raining non-stop for weeks and she looks a little, scruffy? Eyelids are fine.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Ivermectin and safeguard should both be ok. I've heard rumors about Cydectin, but I don't know for sure. - I'd have to do some research. Valbazen is the one that is more well known for causing issues with pregnancies. I stay away from that while they're preggers.

Thanks I knew one was bad!

Better get shopping.... It's cold out there today! About 50 right now, and cloudy.

That's crazy talk! I think our heat index will be close to 100 today....geeze. But no rain for going on 4ish days now!

 

[NH Homesteader]

Oh ew on your weather! We got the tractor, DH pulled two stumps before dark lol. Tomorrow we need to go get chicken feed and the rest of the day he will be tractoring!
