Hey there, and welcome from Alabama! You've had alot of warm welcomes so far- I'm sure you can tell there are a great group of folks here who are always willing to help. BYH is a great place to share your story, and also find answers. I hate to hear that the property you've purchased is in...

I agree with what alot of these folks mentioned about the horses needing their space while being fed. When we had horses when I was younger, they all had to have their feed dishes spread apart (and sometimes one of them would have to go in a stall to eat by themselves with the door closed...

This is our sweet French Angora named Mr. Fluffy - my husband jokes that he is like our pet cat, because he is so sweet and sociable. He even enjoys getting out and playing chase with our chickens during the day, running at them and then turning and hopping off the opposite direction as they...

The winning video of my husband milling up lumber, then him and our preacher nailing up the boards to construct an antique corn crib!

Thank you everyone! It was so nice to hear from the company today about the contest, and it was great to talk to the deer processors too. @norseofcourse - I have not heard of that method. I've heard of quite a few including eggs and oak bark, but not that one!

@Latestarter - I thought about that after haha! I am going to ask them about it when we go to pick up the hides, as I have been wanting to try brain tanning but it slipped my mind. I'm not good with talking on the phone, I get tongue-tied and forget what I am trying to discuss! Thank you for...

I'm with @Samantha drawz on this one and breaking out the popcorn... I love guessing threads! :p:pop

I'm also pretty excited too about calling a local deer processors today. The woman took my information and said they normally throw their hides away, but she would get them to save a few for us in the freezer. I've never tried tanning a full deer hide before so this will be new for me. I've...

Wow, I can't tell you all how excited I am! We just got an email from Norwood sawmills today (the company we purchased our own sawmill from) and we won 3rd place in their 2015 photo/video contest under a category for videos of sawmills in action. My husband was running the mill one day, and I...

Such beautiful bunnies here...oh my! @BlessedWithGoats - wow she is gorgeous!

Best wishes to you in this difficult situation. :hugs Do keep us updated

Wow, those puppies have gotten so big! It's hard to believe we were all playing the waiting game to see how many there were just a short time back. They are so beautiful! (I bet their momma is exhausted!) :D

Explosion?..

I cut them open and it turned out to be garlic for sure. Not sure what to do with them, but I think I am going to go with @Baymule on this one and see what happens with them. I'm going to look into it further but I am really wanting to get into harvesting local plants like this (with CAUTION and...

@Baymule - I really love that you shared all of this with me, because it is interesting to hear that other people learned such valuable things from their grandparents and great-grandparents. I must ask about your grandfather teaching you to make fence posts, because this is something I tried...

@Ferguson K - That is such a beautiful photo, congratulations!

Hello there! I've neglected to properly introduce myself and post any photos here, so I have included some photos of my husband and I! My name is Fala (it is a Native American name, pronounced "fay-luh"!) and my husband is Richard. I am so glad to be a part of BYH. My husband and I together...

@Poka_Doodle - What are you writing about hun? I am more than happy for you to use any of it with source credit! Thank you again for reading it over :hugs

@Latestarter - Indeed, but the woman was very kind and changed it this morning for me. @Baymule - I loved my grandparents dearly, even though they were separated. My grandfather lived one state over, but my grandmother was close by and I loved visiting with her! She set such an important...

Just saw one of these photos at the top of the forums home page and oh my gosh...I wish this thread was still active and full of photos.
