We are stocking up on deer now. Put tow hogs away earlier and have pigs on the hoof as well as rabbits and chickens. I’m not the best at gardening but have greens and onions growing. Stocked a few commercial canned vegetables. Shouldn’t starve. Told hubby if the power goes down I will be canning meat like a crazy person.

Not much to look at. The cold and end of season. Got a few cold crops but would love a larger place to overwinter my peppers instead of in my kitchen.

So excited.! Finally have our milking stantion finished! The girls were a little apprehensive but a little feed goes a long way for persuasion.🤣 Now waiting on replacement gaskets for the milker. Then it’s waiting for calves.🐂🧈🧀🍦🥛

I had a nice herd of goats which I loved. I soldier them for more quantity obviously. I have no real history on these girls. They are fairly gentle and I have been working on a routine with feeding. Gave them a pee test to check on pregnancy and as far as I can see they are mid to late term just barely bagging. Never had milk cows. Is there anything I should watch out for since I don’t know their history?

Cool. By from the original owner for sure. I got my girls from a sale and now we have to get them bred. They were not pregnant. But I at least know what they will have.

I will be watching closely.

I have good minerals and give a handful of calf manna to help with the calcium. Not to much. I don’t jump in unless I see problems generally speaking. I have joined the FMC. I like to hear and learn from others.

Thanks!😊

Not sure I can get one on them yet. Was thinking collars at least until I can get the halter on.

[Brake3476]

Are there any health issues I need to watch for? I knew what to watch for in the goats but not sure about cows.

[Brake3476]

I know! Right!
