i am happy to report we do not have any tigers in our hen yard this morning. but the day isnt over..... it sounds like there was some kind of malfeasance going on. but i think the sheriff is doing a great job containing the situation. apparently it had been a problem for a while and i'm...

your pig climbed the fence. the pigs we had last year climbed our field fence like monkeys. i'm not even kidding. run, dont walk, directly to TSC and get the electric fence charger and supplies. run a hot wire about nose high on the INSIDE of whatever fence you have. once they figured out...

harvest time is a joyous time for us. we're glad we gave our animals a great life and we butcher them here at home. for their entire lives they are well cared for, dont have anything to fear, and spend their time outside as they were intended. we think a few minutes of confusion ("hey why am i...

i'm doing this later this week. i have the copper for calves but the pills are HUGE and way too much for my little girls. so i asked at the pharmacy and they gave me empty people-type capsules and my plan is to open the big calf-size pills and fill the people pills with the copper and give it to...

hee hee hee .. well i scare myself sometimes! ha! dunno if i have the stones to go runnin' after some bear...but i guess anything could happen! ;-)

PANTHERS!?!!? older folks in RV's drivin' reeeeeeaaal slow??? *passes out from fear and determines that hawks, coyotes, and foxes are fair enough game and will never move to florida* ok fine..if you wanna know how i REALLY handle all the predators you can read here ...but we warned.. its not...

BAH! ok truth? one of the reasons i wanted to move to ohio was b/c i didnt think we had any bears! aaaaaaaaaaaaaauauuhghghghghhghhhh! boy was i surprised. zoikes! ok i have TWO shovels! and based on my irrational fear of bears, i think i'd be highly motivated to dig a big hole. hee hee hee or...

and dont forget we COOK most of our food too.... so i kinda chuckle at the "we're the only species that consumes milk past infancy" argument. milk/dairy is a great source of food - but if someone doenst like it - thats fine too. is it a big evil? nope. is that crap is the store any good? not...

mine wouldnt eat the cubes...and since we run the poultry with the goats, they eat a lot o the waste. then i rake up everything and its makes for a great compost pile.

shared.. but i do more i think - especially since i have evening chores alone now which is different from most of this summer. once they get to a certain size, i dont like to feed the pigs and refuse to get into the yard with them. but i do midday chores with them (water, midday meal if its...

great work! we've needed this for a while :-)

yep its the same and we've used it for our dogs. did they tell you to give it to the dog for 3 days in a row? as Roll said, be sure to make sure the % is the same. i think panacur can also be used with other animals (horses??) and the % will change your dosage. there is a beagle site on the...
