Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Teresa had a long conversation this morning with the farm I'm going to pick up Max the ram. It's funny that they got into raising sheep almost exactly like we did. and have had them for going on 8 years. They also had never had sheep before they bought their 25 acres and immediately stocked it with registered Katahdins. He is my age and she is the same age as Teresa.

That's irony for you. When does Max get picked up?

They are just north of St. Joseph, MO. I'll drive up Sunday and load him up on Monday. There are a ton of sheep closer but the bloodlines are almost all the same. Ringo originally came out of Virginia to his first home for the same reason.

I'm anxious to get him here and settled in. He will be with the cows for awhile until the ewes get back into shape. The oldest lambs get weaned this week and the ewes have already started to look great.

Can't wait to see him at your place on all that nice green grass and beautiful pastures.

I get the same garlic barrier as @Mike.....we have 8 goats, the garlic barrier is SUPER concentrate and lasts for a long time.I keep it in a large zip lock bag in the fridge...
Not sure if you would the same results if making it yourself.....well worth the price

The ingredients are 99.3% garlic 0.05% citric acid 0.02% preservative...not sure how the results could be different. The citric acid is for freshness and color preservation. The 32oz is 10% garlic juice thats why you have to buy the gallon size it is 12.49% which is the one used in the studies.

The 10% probly helps but the site itself clearly says you must use the gallon size. It's is not a concentrate really at all, it's just diluted to be used depending on application. 32oz bottle is 10% garlic and 90% water, they have simply partially diluted it for you. Raw garlic is of course 100% garlic so technically if you just made your own out of raw garlic you would be getting a higher % of "concentrate" at 12.5%

It's only diluted because the actual dosage is less then 1/16th of 1 drop of garlic

I don't see how it could hurt to do your own since the percentages are broken out already.
