I like it because it's small enough to fit through our gates and around the trees in our orchard as well....could be why they used this type of tractor, small but still powerful.
That's funny, as you always picture peaches coming more from the southern part of the country or out in...
I agree with Bay!!! GREAT answer!!!
I've used Basic H in the past for cows and sheep, with good effect, though I don't know if the sheep got as good a dose of it as the cow....they tend to drink WAY less water when on good pasture. Now, if I confined them to eating hay, they drank...
The seat is murder!!!! How did farmers handle that big horn sticking up in the middle of that seat??? Eli said it presses right on a spot he'd rather not have it press! It doesn't bother me, but my legs are too short, so the seat cuts me off on the back of my thighs. Needless to say, the...
She most certainly has!!! And I feel Eli has earned the right to stay close to the house and not have to rotate into far paddocks where he may feel vulnerable, working all by himself. The lambs are right here next to the house and chicken coop, so I figured I'd just put him on the other side of...
I have thought about it and usually give all dogs buttermilk for their first week here but haven't had a chance to do that with Eli dog just yet. Thanks for the reminder! Life's been very busy and he's kind of been on the back burner, though he does get pain meds each day, gets brushed and...
I'd do a single strand of electric about knee high to an elk and put it 5 ft out from your run fencing. They will inspect it with their noses first, as most deer do, and that will do the trick. You don't have to bait the line nor flag it...they will see it, inspect it, get bitten by it and...
Today was the very first time I did a paddock move and felt like we had done this managed intensive grazing properly!!! I've been excited about that all day long! In these brush paddocks we've been unable to keep our paddocks the right size in order for them to clean everything up and...
That says a lot, Bay! They do have a long, smooth, clean limbed look to them, don't they? Imagine what they will look like as adults? Very pretty ewe lambs! Can't WAIT to see what Ringo and those two have together.
I get the same feeling when I look at Big Red compared to the rest of my...
Gelding will do nothing for it. I had a sweet jenny donkey try to stomp my new lambs to death and tried to stomp their mothers for defending them. Also tried to stomp a puppy.
Was talking to a guy on FB who said his neighbor's donkeys jumped his fence to kill his lambs...they killed...
Good suggestions!!! I'll need to get me some suture scissors....used to have all that years ago but after a few moves, I've lost my usual nursing supplies~even lost my stethoscope! I've got mini e kits in each vehicle and large sanitary napkins are in each one....folks don't know just how...
Ask these folks....they can direct you to scads of info on people who have miscarried, had stillborn, etc. after the vax and even being in contact with those who have had them..

That's the place where the tractor is at, not ours. I'll try to find a pic of our place for you, if you'd like. Thank you for the tractor review! That sets my heart at ease, as we are first time tractor buyers, my son and I. We've been watching all the YT vids on tractor reviews, what to...
I love labs and lab mix dogs for general farm dogs. Courage to the max, knows when to bark and when not to, GREAT family dogs, easy to train, sharp as a tack. My best dog was a full Lab and second best was a Lab/BC mix. Haven't found their equal all these many years later.
We are back on serious rotation of pasture now and I'll move the flock by myself to the other end of the big field on Tues....that will be the first time in awhile since I've done that and it will be with sheep that are out of the routine of changing paddocks. I think only the power of the dog...
