I definately agree with the cuts and the cooking although you may have to cook the roasts, steakes and such a little longer. I spoke to one of the butchers here in pa and he said that the older the animal the more flavor is in the taste of the meat.

Lot of good advice. One more hint i learned from a butcher friend who i traded an Aussie for. Place a bale of hay or straw up against the trailer or where your loading them. They'll walk right in. Lessons learned from an old timer taught by the young. Good luck.

After raising alpine dairy goats for 51 years and having over 225 during that time for two years i have been without any and although i loved them this has been my most peaceful two years. As has been said if its on the other side they will go for it. They will climb the fence figure out how to...

I use olive oil mixed with different other meds when i have them. If nothing is available the oil is drawn into a needless sringe. The oil coats the mite and sufficates it. Works every time.

Use a combination of hay under straw. Hay absorbs moisture and straw repels it. The straw keeps them dry and the hay draws the moisture away.

First, I'd like to clear up a problem I've had for the last 5 years. What is a barrow? I am 70 years old and have raised hogs for many more years then I care to count. Presently I have 9 sows, 2 boars, 2 neutered males and a weiner. As a child I was taught that a sow is one that has had...

Most wood chips that are made by the highway departments and the like are not treated. It depends on the placement of the sawdust. Under the wood chips it is a absorber of urine and moisture. Straw lets moisture past through, hay absorbs it black walnut chips burn animal's noses no matter where...

I have also used woodchips. sawingdust, and put hay and/or straw over it in both wire bottom and solid wood nest boxes. All methods along that line work great. I got my sawing dust from my uncles wood shop. But be cautious, we found that black walnut chips and dust will do damage to an animal...

I'd get tired of just gp so would suggest a breeding trio of each. Rabbit and gp. Also after you've got that settled add 6 hens and have eggs and if roosters are allowed in your area chicken for dinner. Never tried the gp but my daughter did in Peru and said it was good. Just don't like the...

One question. Are we talking about american guinea hogs or a completely different species guinea pigs from peru. The reason I'm asking is that my daughter on her trip to Peru for college feasted on the latter, her part being the brains.

You could treat the goats with raw acv for fleas and ticks. Or use diatonatious earth. For mites i check their ears and if present use olive oil in their ears and on itchy spots. As for global warming I'm 68, seen the same weather patterns when I was a child and if i live to be 136 (ha ha) will...

You have it all wrong the idiots are the do gooders who let rich peoples horses starve and take parrots away from little old ladies when its their only friend. You're doing your best. The Humane society have a lot of want-a-bees who think they know everything and havent even left their cozy...

Humane society pushes that also pups and other animals. Also if you have a dog guarding your garden from groundhogs you're only allowed to have them tied near the garden for a certain amount of time. So i just rotate the dogs.
