Feed mix recipe:

Distiller's grain 325 lbs
Corn 55 lbs
Oats 35 lbs
Wheat 35 lbs
Dry molasses 50 lbs
Salt 4 lbs
Feed lyme 16 lbs
Poultry Vit/Min mix 5 lbs

Comes out to about 18% protein. I give oyster shell on the side because it just settles to the bottom when I ferment.
 
Well maceman88 dropped off the list , I guess. Maybe this list moves too fast for him. Closest person to me I have seen on this list.
Best,
Karen

Another member here had and may again have a market for them, I think it's primarily an Asian market?

There are some people who value the eggs. They are said to have high nutritional value. Current prices seem to be in the $3/ dozen area.

I'm just starting them, we'll see. I am always eat them. I try not to raise anything that can't be used in some way. Trees that I plant provide fruit, nuts or firewood, animals provide some sort of food. Only exception is my dog. She's purely companionship since I'm alone most of the time.

I already have people asking if I'm going to have turkey this year. Now to get some to hatch!

I don't know, I think a dog is also a wonderful first line defense against intruders.

Computer died, no money to replace due to a financial emergency
Had to cancel Internet at home and cell service by of same financial emergency.
Not able to access BYC from work during lunch anymore be they changed our security protocols


Just got everything back up and running this weekend.... Thank God for tax refunds!

How is everyone doing?

I go to the mill & they mix it for me. Some mills require 1,000 pound minimum order, others only 500 pounds. My current mill is 500 pounds & cost me about $100 for a batch. That's about $5 per 50 pound bag. MUCH cheaper than commercial feed & protien is 18+% without any soy.
I have my goat tied out to a rather heavy dog box...takes 2 adults to move it easily. We just scoot her box every few days so she can reach fresh grass. Tie her where she can reach the creek or put a water bucket against the back of her box where she can't tip it with the chain. No problems unless I put her close enough to tangle a tree.

always see goats of various size and ages listed on Pennswoods.net under their livestock section, don't know how close they are to you, since Pennswoods covers a pretty large area.

I posted an ad on there, actually. I found a few on there but not anywhere very close. did find one that in a 3 hr round trip so thinking of doing that. but would prefer to find one a tad closer.
