So sorry to hear about Trip. :hugs
A fitting tribute to man's best friend.:hit
They always take a bit of our hearts when they go.
My sympathy for your loss.
Those Hello Dolly Bars sound wonderful! I wonder if those are the bars that show up at the church socials that I love so much. I'm too quiet/shy to ask who made them or what they were so I never got a recipe, but I love them!! Always grab a couple for myself. DH won't eat anything with...
DH sets all of our wooden corner posts in concrete. He is not a woodworker per se, but he is an engineer.
He uses a "H" brace system with and "x" of wire for the corners and gate posts.
I had hamsters when I was in college. They were not allowed of course.
My best friend had the room next door and loved to come over and "steal" my hamster to help do her math homework - Calculus none the less. I don't know why, but somehow having the hamster crawling around helped her focus...
Ours has air also, and heat lol.
When we bought our first tractor, we lived out in Wyoming and needed something to clear snow from our 600' long driveway.
One of our neighbors had a little tractor and would go and clear the other neighbors driveways for them. His didn't have a cab so he...
How many of the windows open on that tractor? Our tractor with a cab has the 2 sides that open, plus the back window will open. It gets hot in there when parked in the sun like that, lol!
That is a nice tractor! Pretty good size too. What Horsepower is it?
I would submit the permit first, then start grading and graveling. No building until permit in hand. Is the permit from a County or Township? I find that the smaller government units usually take less time, unless it...
We had 2 farms near us that had baby doll sheep in their front pastures during lambing season when we moved here. This is the second year that I don't see any sign of sheep. :hit It looks like they got out of sheep completely. I loved watching those little lambs running and jumping around,
You should be able to raise a couple steers (2) on a few (3-4) acres without stressing the pasture too much. You will need to do pasture maintenance of mowing down the stuff they won't eat and spreading the manure around some.
By the science from the NRCS, you can raise 1 cow/calf unit for...
They are talking about the guinea pigs - more of the Peru type, not the American Guinea hogs. The little fuzzy ones that kids have for pets. I have heard that they are raised for meat in south/central american countries. I think I would go with rabbits myself, but I was raised with rabbit as...
I just use the last of my canned chicken last night for chicken enchiladas. I can the chicken plain, then add the sauce or seasonings when i want to use it. I am working on differnet sauces that I can "can" and have on the shelf for when I want a quick meal. So far, I have a Cherry Bourbon...
I will have fences all up and pastures laid out by the time I retire - which is only 8 years so I better get going. At retirement, I will have time to take care of more animals and enjoy them.
