Maybe you could get something out on Craig's list, pasture for lease or the like. Raise a few steers that someone ELSE pays for because they have nowhere to raise their own???

....and the "Adventures" continue here at the Lazy A** Acres!!
We took the boys to town today...to the Mexican restaurant and when we got back we found Star had become a convict and escaped the fence and was milling around in the backyard.....a small container with pellets and the trail went straight to the pen..........it felt decent today outside, so earlier I walked around with them before we went to town....... ....that's the "Convict" on the far right.....she is a 10yr old doe and I think it actually made her feel good to do so....probably brought back memories of days gone past.....since then, her tail is a little higher and she is walking with her head lifted high too. I believe I found and fixed the escape point, so it shouldn't happen again in the same spot. I got started mowing around 3pm and it took 3hrs, but field2 is cut....and I didn't have to wring out my Tshirt afterwards.........while I was on my way back to the house I noticed this on the fence.... ...it is a passion flower vine the fruit it produces is a kiwi fruit looking thing, without the fuzz...just green....we used to call them may-pops....cause when ya squish them they may Pop and then they may not..........I've never heard of them being eaten...good or poisonous, but the flower is sure pretty....they grow wild here, but as you can see the goats don't eat them either. I did notice on the mini "Goat Walk" that the lower leaves on the sumac are getting their fall colors....since they started leaving out so early this yr, they probably have decided it should be time to prepare for the rest cycle. An early Fall sure wouldn't hurt my feelings a single bit....

Deer love those fruits. We used to have a lot of them until I started cutting and now just have a few outside the grass line. We only occasionally find a ripe fruit that the deer haven't gotten to and it's usually because it's at a point close to where Maisy has her patrol areas.

 

[Bruce]

Silly old goat. Could she have wandered away or was her escape into another fenced area?

 

[CntryBoy777]

Naw...nothing around the house is fenced, so she could have waundered off...tho she would have to be spooked to do so, I believe. She was separated from the boys, so I don't think she would up and leave on her own....unless she was in estrus and the smell of a buck was in the air....was really glad we went, ate and came straight home, so we were gone for about an hour.

 

[Bruce]

Ah, the benefit of the herd mentality!

And the problem with the bone is the blood, as far as I am told

Oh, OK. They don't want to see blood. So if it was cooked MW or W there wouldn't be any blood so they MIGHT be OK cutting it off themselves? Talking about the GS's of course not the StupidIL Not sure how SIL can eat burger, it has blood in it before it was cooked, just like it had bones in it before it was cut off and ground. Oh well.

The youngest of my (blood) nieces (now 26) can't deal with meat that looks like an animal body part. Ground beef is OK. Guess we all have our "oddities".

 

[CntryBoy777]

Well, any meat cooked with bone will have the darker spots in it when cooked....just like a drumstick bone that has a vien running along the bone and causes the dark residue to be at the top and bottom of the bone and when ya take the meat off the bone there is still some inside....the SIL passes out at the sight of blood....which is hilarious since he is a guard at a federal prison.....

 

[CntryBoy777]

I found some of the fruits I was trying to explain.... .....I think I will point it out to the goats and see if they eat the fruit, since @Mike CHS said the deer eat it....
