No hearse -- crank up the backhoe

I took it as "You are on your own, only call when a hearse is needed".

When we first learned that we were at the very edge of Wood County and had to call the Sheriff in Quitman instead of SS, we asked one Quitman deputy about how safe the area around Yantis was. He said "Very safe, we don't get many calls there". I asked, "Is that because Yantis is really safe or because everyone has a gun?" The deputy looked at me with a straight face, tipped his hat, and just said "Yes, Ma'am".

Pour on ivermectin might be easier. I only raised 2 or 3 pigs at a time. I put apple flavored horse ivermectin in a biscuit and tossed each one a “treat”. Jabbing a pig with a needle through that tough hide, into fat, might be harder than expected. Just don’t poke the meat!

The only good pour on will do for hogs is for lice... very little will be absorbed into the skin if any. Hogs are either "feed through" or injected... same with sheep... drench or injectible for proper dosing... pour on will work on parasites like lice and such. Although I think it works a bit on hair sheep... but not on wooled sheep. And injectible is not even recommended as a way to worm sheep or goats routinely. Feed through or drenches get to the worms right in the gut tract which is the fastest and most effective way.
Funny, never had trouble getting the hogs to eat anything even with the wormer in it... but the apple flavored horse kind would be a good way to do it...

Oh the things that get us all happy and excited!

Got a skunk, one shot one kill and tossed it in the ravine. Reset trap this evening and try again. I'm hungry now.

Now you are hungry? Skunk does that to you?

Looks like a productive day!
