Loving the herd life
Went to Murdochs today to pick up some sweet feed, gamebird feed, and layer pellets. The price is up again.
With the drought, ethanol, and whatnot, the price of feed has jumped up considerably. I'm butchering most of my roosters and drakes to save on feed. The Thanksgiving turkeys are probably going to freezer camp early and I'm encouraging my husband to get the free range turkey house done for the heritage breeds so that they can forage a bit.
I need to buy a portable electric fence so I can graze the goats on my land. Money is tight, though. :/
Sigh.
Are you affected by the feed prices and what are you going to do to help keep costs down?
