Here's the link I'd mentioned earlier Brining pork We couldn't taste the salt when we did the picnic shoulder. This Sunday is the big day for the pigs. I talked to the guy doing it last week. He...

We will be slaughtering 5 pigs in about 3 weeks. There are a couple of guys in the area that will come in, put down the pig, gut/skin/and halve it. The one we are using is charging us $30 per pig. He...

I was over on the other side of my property checking for bugs on the potatos the other day and saw this while on my ATV. She stayed around for a couple of pictures before running off.

I'd be cautious about turning chickens into a garden especially if you have food growing that will be eaten fresh. Think back to the spinach in California last year. Chickens can carry salmonella...

It's not so much the price of fuel but the demand for corn that's being made into ethanol. Anything that uses corn for food will be going up in price, eggs, chickens, hogs, etc.

Thanks for posting the link. We use IAMS for our german shepherd, but only the dry food. Couldn't afford to feed him those little packages of food!!

Thanks for the link. I will be getting some pigs this spring and have been thinking of building a smokehouse big enough to handle a couple of them at a time, at least the hams and bacon.

Greg

Thanks for the imput guys. A couple of other questions, how well do small pigs do in the cold? We are thinking of getting them in early April after maples sugaring season is over. It can still be...

Hi,

My wife and I are talking about getting and raising a couple of pigs for the first time next spring. We have a lot of questions and would appreciate hearing about your expierence's. Flat land...

I've trapped and buried, with the FEL, 11 skunks in the past couple of months that have been trying to get into my chicken coop. If you like I'll ship them off to you, it'll save me the diesel! ...

It looks like buckthorn based on the color of the bark and berries. They get about 6-8' and really spread out. I will try to get out and get some pictures of it around here. It's a pain to get rid...

I have seen those ads on tv also. Considering the prices on most of the DR named stuff I would think a good box blade would work the best. If I just fill in a hole in my driveway the stone will come...

If you have chickens or other types of poultry then Backyard Chickens is a great place for information. Backyard Chickens

That looks to big for rabbits, do you have many deer in the area? A friend of mine sugars and raises pumpkins in the "off" season. He has to fence his pumpkin patch to keep out the deer. He got me...

Chuck,

You need to try some maple syrup instead of brown sugar on acorn squash. It bakes up real nice, and helps keep it moist.

Pat, I live on the western side of the state near the New York border. Most of the towns around here are about 10 miles apart with a lot of farms in between. I am more concerned about the rabies...

I don't believe in "deporting" them and making my problem someone elses. Plus there's the rabies concern around here. I have leg traps and a have a heart trap around my chicken run the last couple of...

And they work for food!!

I would think that it was a coon too. We just moved our chicks out to the coop friday. For the run I put up 6 foot chicken wire but buried a foot of it in a L shape so when they start digging they'll...

You might want to got to Backyard Chickens and ask that. A lot of information there. My chics are 4 weeks old.

What about Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, Midway??? Almost anything with John Wayne.

At least drapes can be replaced easily and the cupboards can be painted but you will take a little more to get rid of that carpet!! The good news is it will soon be all yours!!! ...

I took the ATV over where we planted them Sunday morning when the rain stopped to see how they were doing. Looks like the plants took and nothings found them yet. There were two sets of deer tracks...

I had ordered 150 sweet potatoe plants back in Feb. My wife really likes them with maple syrup and I figured I'd give them a try. Well every time I checked the Gurney's website they were saying a...

Creamed onions are VERY good and the size is about perfect for it!!
