Moses is a blessing!

Are yall ok?

If you can build an outside wall to enclose just part of that open front, it will give them that closed in place for further protection against the cold. I know lumber is expensive. Here, I have used shipping pallets (free) to build shelters for my sheep and it is working. I have plans for a...

I was thinking that’s so cool until I saw the price. Those idiot yay-hoos have no idea who they are messing with.

Coffee is all gone. I’ve been on the forums, time to get dressed, do mornin chores and get started on processing that feral boar. I cut a ham steak out of one of the hams yesterday and it is beautiful dark red meat. Once I finish, I’ll do a thread on processing a feral hog.

Pizzle is his penis. At slaughter places, they take the bull pizzle and dry it for dog chews. I’ve even seen walking sticks made from bull pizzle. So now if you see bully chews for dogs in the pet aisles, you know what it is.

Here ya go, in chronological order. https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/hawg-hut-or-goat-or-sheep-or-dhs-new-digs.32088/ https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/feeder-pigs.32154/ https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/feeder-pigs-2017.35395/...

This is your lucky day! My late husband and I retired to northeast Texas on 8 acres. I got busy raising feeder pigs and chronicled my adventures with a new thread each year. After he died, I sold that farm, moved further south to Trinity county and bought 25 acres. I raise Katahdin hair sheep...

Sheep are raised on every continent all over the world. From scorching desert to frozen places. Hair sheep can tolerate heat and cold. Wool sheep thrive in colder climates. Their wool keeps them warm. There is a reason why people wore woolen clothing! If your ewe is pregnant and if she lambs...

My Anatolians would never put up with a snarling or barking dog in their space. They would attack and eliminate the danger. I’ve warned my neighbors with small dogs to NOT let them get near my fence. One portion is field fence with holes big enough to let a small dog through. They will attack...

I think Boone is doing real good. He has more stimulation in 10 minutes than he gets all day when y’all go to town. Good boy.

Whew! I’ve been hoggin’ it today. Not finished, but got the sow done. I cleaned up my mess, went and got another 20# bag of ice, drained ice cooler and put fresh ice in. I weighed a ham from the boar, 22 pounds! I’m gonna finish chores, get a shower and go to a gospel meeting with friends...

I did a conversion, -22C is equal to -7.6F. That freak storm we had in 2021 was -6F. So now we’re talking! I had a lamb born during that and she just looked so pitiful that I cut an arm off my sweater and made her a coat. Every time I went outside I scooped her up and stuck my finger in her...

Welcome from East Texas Smokehouse! Two fine looking young ladies ya got there! Glad you joined us, tell us a little about yourself and what animals you have.

Today I cut up the meat from those two hogs.

Coffee is ready. I finally got a whole night’s sleep. It’s 61F high of 85F today. News is showing the hurricane, it’s awful. Over a million people out of power. News doesn’t have to hype this one up, it’s bad. News just said over 2 million people out of power.

Hurricane Helene just went to a Cat 4 while I was watching the news. It’s going straight up through Georgia, looks like you will get maybe a lot of rain. At least you are on the west side.

Hurricane Helene just went from a Cat 3 to a Cat 4. It’s gonna be a bad one.

Welcome from East Texas!

On BYH years ago, someone posted pictures of snakes caught in a roll of chicken wire. They had left it next to chicken coop and found several snakes caught in it.
