    Slaughter houses are making a killing.

    Maybe have a good ol' fashioned group hog killing...advertise for others to buy in and come butcher their own hogs along with y'all. Or just sell the hogs outright to folks who want to do home butchering? On the WV FB page there are folks selling hogs left and right, so there must be some...

    Slaughter houses are making a killing.

    That right there is how we approach meat. Never been one for fancy cuts and packaging. We strip the back strap and butterfly the steaks, then freeze them...those don't stick around long enough to worry about those. We may or may not freeze a neck roast or we will just as often remove the meat...

    Slaughter houses are making a killing.

    I'm curious as to why someone would not adapt and learn to do their own butchering, especially in times like these. The alternative is what, exactly? Wait for a butcher date a few years down the road? Hard times are when people need to get together and pool resources, help one another...

    Calculating ram versus ewe numbers?

    Nice to have two or a wether so that your ram has company while not in with the ewe flock. Some people purchase a ram lamb for breeding and then just sell him after breeding season is over so they don't have to worry about separating the two groups. Some people have trouble keeping two or...

    Sheep dog question, for sheep dogs herding sheep

    Nope. A dog knows the difference between a dead animal and a live one. I feed my dogs chicken and sheep bones and offal, and they guard both without ever harming the livestock. I've heard it many times down through the years that people won't feed their dogs butchering scraps or even deer...

    Farmhouse question? (Rural issues...)

    It's much the same as in the city...if the house has poor insulation and poorly designed construction, pipes will freeze in real cold weather. I've lived in many houses where the pipes froze, both in town and out in the country. It's a miserable thing to deal with.

    Thistleblooms Rambles

    I think it's an excellent job and concurs with other people's accounts...people who were actually there. Yes, we are being lied to constantly about everything, from politics to health issues. Those who want to believe the lies try desperately to suppress those telling the truth, so it...

    Fact check please? Fact of fiction article on fodder... & questions

    How I find out if something is fact or fiction is to try it out in my own backyard. If it works, it's fact, if it doesn't, it's fiction. You could ask a hundred people and get that many different answers, but most have not tried out anything at all, but are merely quoting another article...

    Keep or Sell? Names?

    Oh, how I know about those names...you really can't deny the names that come from innocence...they are just too, too wonderfully comical. I have a tomcat named Ruffles. :rolleyes:

    ....if you've ever used bedroom furniture, trash and workshop items to build a processing station. The outside sink here is supported on upturned bed ends, the killing cones are bleach jugs and the chicken skinner is a repurposed C clamp, though I've since upgraded to a table vise for that chore.

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    Nope, continue to share, please. I've read countless accounts from medical staffing who got even more ill from the vaccine, in the ICU two days after and some who have died a couple of days after getting it~but you are not going to hear that from the news media. It's the responsibility of...
