    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I'd be getting a new boar. Temperament can be inherited and you don't need that passing on. 'Course, I'm not as young, strong or as agile as you are!

    There are several brands of vegan yogurt. I haven't tried any, but maybe there'd be at least one brand that's not revolting, lol!

    Processing our feelings about processing...

    This guy was using a 22short on a boar hog, from a distance. Nope - not gonna cut it! He was very sure that a shot into the ear would do it. Said he'd done it lots of times - nope - that didn't work either. Like you - I do our processing now. I put some corn/feed down and they go out with...

    Processing our feelings about processing...

    It's definitely worth it to use the appropriate caliber to get the job done correctly the first time. We've done quite a few pigs here along with the occasional goat and even a sheep once. Only had one bad experience by a man who bought a hog from me and wanted to dispatch it here and take it...

    IS this even a farm? Canesister's 2026

    Lots of good suggestions there. I had both of my parents with dementia with me for a while. I'll never forget the day my dad asked me when I was going to go home. LOL - I had to remind him he was in MY house!

    I had a tiny pygmy once that barely weighed about the same as your little one. Kids named her Thumbelina, lol.

    Ya'll are really catching it. I feel for ya and I get it! Every year when the temps get this bad I swear I'm selling everything. And every year when we have those triple digit days, I also swear I'm also selling everything. Why can't I just do it?

    Warm, tepid or cold water in winter?

    My winter storm wasn't nearly as bad as everyone else's winter storm and I'm thankful for that. Hauling water is a _itch no matter what, where or how much. I was hauling 20 gallons of warm water at a time. I moved a smallish trough into the barn. I guess being bored from being inside all day...
