[CntryBoy777]

Thanks @Baymule !!.....I have learned from the past, so I don't push much during these days at all.....but, I do try to take advantage of the breaks the weather allows....kinda like Winter. I hope to be around for a While longer.....too many Friends to keep up with and to laugh with to check out too soon.....

You could move up here Fred, we have WAY more than 2 weeks of winter. And little in the way of poisonous snakes and spiders

I don't have many animals either, so I never buy more than a bag at a time....except for Layena, I get 2 of those. I keep the scratch grains with the oyster shells in one can, and when the goats pellets get low I get a bag and put it in with the partial. I've never used Boss so I don't know anything about it. The poultry pellet use will decrease when I get them out of their pens, but still have to work on the garden fence and the gates....I'll be whittling at it the next couple of wks.

BOSS is like scratch grains - Chicken crack!

Here are some pics I took this morning of our dew....View attachment 36661 View attachment 36662 View attachment 36663 .....the sun doesn't get to this spot until between 10-11am, so it is after noon before it dries enough to cut....just in time for the "Heat of the Day", so I cut in the evening from 5-7pm........

Looks just like ours, must be the same species It does seem silly to put on the rubber boots to go down to the barn in the morning but as yours show, if one wore their sneakers they would be mighty wet.

x2, what bay said. you take it easy in this heat. dstr#1 and I went and got feed yesterday and by the time we got 1100 pounds unloaded and put away I about had a heat stroke. you know things aren't ok when you stop sweating and get the chills. that and the fact that things started to go black made me get it done and get in the house out of the heat. temp was 96 with 86% humidity with heat index of 107. to hot for this little ole woman. @AClark I use a big chest type deep freeze to store my goat and sheep grain in. keeps every thing but the fire ants out. I also have metal garbage cans to store rabbit, pig and chicken feed in. keep them off the ground but make sure snakes can't get under them to give you a little snakie lick on your toes/

I appreciate the offer @Bruce , but I'd rather deal with what's here than to have to get out and blow snow for 5mnths....
That isn't a very healthy state to be in @goatgurl , and with ya being a nurse....ya certainly know better.....but, like they say....nurses and doctors make the worst patients....
There are many people that have that "Mind over Matter" mentality, but the reality of the matter is that it is "Hogwash" and just isn't true. My brother is of that mindset and he has stopped talking that mess around me, because I call him on it and prove over and over again that it is just bogus.
On another note....I took out 3 juvenile coons this evening...sorry critters....

 

[goatgurl]

it was kind of one of those deals where all the feed was in the back of her open truck and it was suppose to rain so we had to get it put up before it all got wet. of course then it didn't rain, grrr. some one I was married to once use to say "its mind over matter and if you don't mind it doesn't matter." of course he said other stupid stuff too.
poor little chicken, duck killing coons. good for you.

Any way, Robin is now 6 1/2 years old, the matriarch with a bad attitude, she no longer lays, but she can stay until she kicks the chicken bucket.

Is this particular bucket anything like the KFC variety?

That would be the one!

Aw Fred, we don't blow snow for 5 months! There are lots of days that it doesn't snow. You just MIGHT have to blow occasionally through the 5 month period. I think I cranked the blower < 10 times last winter!

My heart is NOT bleeding for the coons. That is 3 (and if they matured potentially a lot more in the future) that won't eat your fowl.

I heard there are things called TARPS that keep rain off of stuff. If you had one of those you could have tied it down over the feed and gone inside and avoid the heat stroke then unloaded after it AND YOU cooled down. At least that is what I've heard

I know that I don't "Tell All" here, cause I have enough that dislike me for varied reasons and I don't wish to alienate any over crazy stuff....but, just to give ya an idea of the situation here.....in the past week there have been 6 coons that "Disappeared".....and that is only counting those that are seen in the daylight. I think I need to move the getting of a couple of farm dogs up on the priority list....so, guess I'll start looking and researching for a good match for our situation here.......

That sounds like a great idea!!
