Hello All! It's been a while since i have last posted, a lot of things have changed and happened over winter and it has just been hectic. I feel like I am not adequately stocked and prepared for most injuries and or sudden heath issues, so I thought I would ask what you all have on the ready. I...

@babsbag maybe no color swirled with tan, or brown, or a metallic? I am interested in molds, i'll pm ina few, kids are yellin', i need to go investigate

i need to start making soap again soon too, hubs wants the space in the freezer for more venison XD

@NH homesteader i buy from brambleberry, i like their samplers for fragrance and what nots. and fiasco farms has a recipe with lard, i haven't used, but wanted to try. http://fiascofarm.com/recipes/soap.htm

@babsbag YOUR SOAP LOOKS SO PURDY i have yet to try pretty, i am still trying to nail down specific oils and recipes i like before i start really scenting and coloring. i have a selection of scents and mica's to try, but like i said, i am really trying to nail down a favorite oil mix. My whole...

definitely could be the types of oils/fats used produced a softer bar, but maybe they didn't let if cure fully? i've hurried the cure before, and the soap was ok, apart from being soft like you described. the rest of the bars in that one batch cured fully and were nice and hard. I was just in a...

@NH homesteader Yes Elk and deer are really similar. Most probably wouldn't be able to see or taste a difference, and both meats are venison. But we know our meat, and can tell the difference between our elk and deer, even the difference between Mule deer and whitetail. BUT IT'S ALL SO...

YES! this thread is wonderful! My family hunts, all of us. Together, between 3 adult hunters, we tagged 2 elk, and 3 deer. Grouse are really common in my area, think of them like woods chicken. Countless grouse, bag limit of 4 per day/ per hunter, so just about as many as we see we shoot. My...

im watching this, because I feel in the same boat. My husband tells me his dad used to make them out of pine pecker poles (skinny tall trees), and he will make one for me in the spring, he says that but will it happen? I HOPE SO!! :)

its been a while, so i thought i'd come back to add more pictures. This was taken this spring, her kids were so little then, they are big boys now!! She has all her hair, but you can see her condition was already leaving, I was milking at this time. Fast forward a few months...

I have raised rabbits two other times over the years, both times in cages. and lots of people in my area have apparent success at free ranging. I loved the idea and have not lost any, repeat, ANY adults to anything, i see and can account for each one during the course of a day. i adore the bun's...

ok, hello all on the bunny forums! i have many animals at my little funny farm, and loose bunnies being one of them. I have only had them loose about 4 months now, but I have just now found my first litter. I bought all my starter herd of buns from a good breeder, standard rex's, and a variety...

@TAH she has some limitation of movement in one back leg, she also has a huge scar on her rump on the same leg, could scar tissue limit movement?

thank you @TAH she is a lovely girl, although a bit dirty XD Here is a short video walk a round of her

thought i'd a pic of her to show :)

well, i got a small video this morning, while she was eating, and i did notice she didn't appear to be lifting her front, at all the whole time i'm out there. go figure. im prepared for a video, and she doesn't do it :)

i have definitely looked into all the options to buy for her feet, if this tenderness is a long term thing. i was wondering more for riding around my place, in pasture and out, i have 10 acres with a mini trail system through the trees. i was hoping that might help condition her, i have a mix of...

is it ok to ride a horse with tender feet?

I can relate on riding woes. although i really want to get out there, im a bit worried about something happening while im by myself. im a mother of three youngin's that would really miss me if i were hurt.

so tomorrow morning, I will call the vet, i'm sure if there is a mobile x-ray, they should have one, we are in a big horse, cow and goat area, so the vet i see is pretty large and capable. I this is just the first horse i've had need a vet to come out (yes im a newbie XD) and i will definitely...
