    Ignorant musings on meat shortages

    From my own personal view I think this is the key to survival for many farms, small and large along with person's who don't have the money to pay exhorbent process. They started need to open up the large Farmers to being able to sell their products to the average persons whether that be at a...

    Happy mother's day to my most beautiful wife, @mrs.mystang89 . She is the most wonderful person I know and I thank God constantly for giving me her to help me in this life and to reach the next. I thank her for accepting life and birthing all my children. For working while this chaos is going on...

    Not particularly. We don't get heavy loads of about normally and when we do they "normally" melt fairly quickly. I say this now and next winter is guaranteed to be the worst winter snow storm we've ever had. Sorry anyone who lives around me. I'm taking from VERY limited experience here so if...

    Remember that large load of logs I had sitting at the gate which Mr. Sunny decided to destroy. We finally cut and split all those and stacked them. Our wood shed is the fullest it's ever been actually being filled to capacity. That's a good feeling as we shouldn't have to worry about next year's...

    These ducks are definitely fun to watch as they dip their heads into the water them splash it around with their bills. Fun little things. Also, i didn't mention yesterday @Ridgetop but where there water is draining from is going to be a flower bed. I think I'll make some kinda irrigation channel...

    Thanks for the replies and tips everyone. Much appreciated! I wouldn't be able to drain it into their pond as the pond is a stream that goes through my property. I have one in both the front pasture and back pasture thankfully so they have access to water wherever they go. That is a GREAT...

    We bought ducks a few weeks ago and they've been under a heat lamp with a few chickens. The ducks grow like weeds, much faster than I thought they would. This made me start to look up the best ways to feed and water them. After a bit of research it turns out they are very messy eaters and that...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    Guess I'm one of those backfires and probably one of the reasons I don't buy into the vaccines as much. I'm 36. According to my immunization records I've been given the chickenpox vaccine. Some years afterwards i contracted chicken pox. Now at 36 I occasionally have bouts of shingles. Kinda like...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    Haven't watched this thread in a while but kinda curious if anyone's opinion changed after not being allowed to celebrate Easter (for those who celebrate it) and the new "Do Not Resuscitate" order that some states have mandated along with the plethora of doctors, especially those from places...

    I couldn't count the amount of times I've gone out and found my told just lying in my yard rusting because one of the children decided they needed it.

    Lol, thank you. If there is one thing I'm good at it destroying things. Remember that concrete silo? What I'm definitely not a pro at is putting things back together well. It's like climbing a tree. Going up the tree is easy! Going down CORRECTLY is the hard part. (Going down is real easy. Still...

    Sorry, couldn't post until I got the darn thing off. That was a lawn mower tire, split in 2 down the middle, then sawn in half again going across. These are all the tools I had to use in order to get it freed. That's not including the tractor or jigsaw. It's raining here today, so I figured...

    Can't remember if I've mentioned this away but start working on a lean to in my pasture so I can store my hay equipment. I had some cedar logs which has been dropped of to me and figured I'd use those for my corner and center posts. I planned them in the ground about 2 weeks ago or so and...

    I know we've been doing sheep now for about 3 years and should already have a decent start to the genetics we want, but things being what they are, the plan now is to raise a ram that is, at the very least, not destructive. Docile would be nice to but I don't think anyone in this family will...
