    Buying 1/2 a Beef?

    Thank you Jan! I was thinking about asking for the fat...I use beef tallow for some of my cooking and it's so expensive to buy, would be great to render my own and to have some for suet (thank you)! I was also thinking of stew meat, I like a lot of meat in my stew also! I definitely don't...

    Buying 1/2 a Beef?

    Thank you that is good to know...we like chicken fried steak! My son has dogs, a mom and her pup, so I will see if he wants to have that for them, I'm sure he will! She is 1/2 wolf and is the sweetest most beautiful dog I've ever seen, I'm sure she would love it, Milo would like it too! 💞

    When we were getting things ready to have our new well pump installed I came across a very old nest of quail eggs! I decided to bring them in and display them. This is possibly a temporary display. It's a little bag that had Pistachio nuts in it, I'm going to try to come up with something...

    It was very windy yesterday into last night! We realized that we needed to add some wind protection. The shelter used to sit along the fence where the feeder is at. We used to have a smaller double feeder and it sat to the right of where the new feeder is. We wanted to be able to fill the feeder...

    Buying 1/2 a Beef?

    Hi everyone! I hope this doesn't seem like a dumb question. I'm going to be purchasing a side of beef, I was wondering if I could get some information on how to place the order with the butcher? I do know that we want the good cuts of beef cut into 1 1/2" steaks, we like ribs, but I would...

    Good morning! My husband and I were just talking about that yesterday! We will have them butchered by someone...we could do it ourselves, but don't want to! Our friend who has the other 2 pigs wants to do it himself! I didn't think about setting a slaughter date with the butcher, thank you so...

    Thank you! It's our little oasis in the midst of sand & sagebrush! 💞 They are cute when they're little, hopefully they will grow fast and calm down a little! I will have to spend some time with them, I don't want them to be to wild!

    I've been trying to introduce the breakfast mash to my French Black Copper Marans...they finally got brave enough to check it out, to discover what's in it is pretty tasty and it's not going to eat them...lol! I'm hoping they will learn to be as excited by it as the rest of the flock! I can't...
