Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

How do you keep your records? Notebook, computer program?

do you think Taffy's lack of resistance is because she was rejected at birth and didn't get her mom's colostrum? I know you bought colostrum, but your ewes are better than store bought! LOL

We bought a half bushel of okra this evening, just picked. I'm going to cut it and freeze it in the morning.

We make our own powder. We even make bell pepper and celery powder so we can get that "cooked all day" taste, immediately.

We like okra on the grill also and have some cooking with the pork butts.

Lack of colostrum is a sure possibility. I forced her dam to let her nurse several times but that doesn't match the normal 24 hours.

All of our records are on paper. Teresa made up log sheets with all of the tracking items so we can go back to the first ewes for tracking.

We tried out the refrigerator pickled okra that we put up the other day and they taste great.

Okra pickled is my favorite way. I find it gooey any other way....I just cant seem to get over it lol

Love pickled okra - and I've heard that it's really good in a Bloody Mary.

I've never had pickled okra.

I've never had pickled okra.

The quart of okra we did the other day only took a few minutes and it's as good as any I've had. It only keeps a few weeks though since it isn't canned since you just pour the hot liquid over the okra and refrigerate for 48 hours.

I'd have to give it a try. I have made refrigerated pickles before. Maybe I'll use that same recipe on the okras.
