FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

Every time I think we have been overwhelmed I just have to open your thread to give me perspective.

600 lbs of you can't catch me has to get filed away for later use.

My life is a roller coaster.


@Baymule Frank is the kind of cat who will have her litter on top of me. I have a box of old clean clothes next to my dresser she also had taken a liking to. I'd prefer she has them there. She sleeps on my pillow every night, has for a year now (found her a year ago). Last night she slept in my sock drawer. No Frank. Not in there!

We're about to be over run with babies. I've got baby chicks with their mama. Two pregnant potbellies, seven pregnant goats (two of which look like their going to explode if they dont deliver soon), and one overdue cat.

So many babies! Toni and Rita both came from large litters. I'm going to have so many pigs! Augh!

 

[Baymule]

So many pigs! What a problem to have......hmm......sell them, eat them......

 

[Ferguson K]

@Baymule we already have seven pigs. Our Blue butt sow is in heat and currently in with the boar. Hoping for contact!

Potbelly or not, most of them will go in the freezer. They're not to cute to eat. Perfect bbq sized pigs!

 

[Ferguson K]

Adding: The potbellies are what's die any day now. Not the big pigs. Still going to est most of them.

Do you make your own sausage? I have a small meat grinder and used to make deer sausage. I'd stuff it in casings and slow smoke it....darn! that stuff was good!

 

[Ferguson K]

We do! I don't use intestine though... can't stomach it. We buy sausage casings. I pre mix my sausage flavors though in coffee cans. 20-30 lbs of sausage mix makes... 300? Lbs of sausage. One cup to every ten lbs.

@Baymule

 

[Baymule]

What is your sausage seasoning recipe?

 

[Ferguson K]

I'll have to find it. It's salt, seasoning, and... yeah let me find it. I don't want to steer you the wrong direction.

It's here! I got a quarter (almost half ₩ of a page!
