***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Looks like another nice day ahead of us. I'm making a slow start today after putting up another forty square bales yesterday. I've got achey muscles where I didn't think I had muscles any more. Maybe an aspirin will take the edge off.

Buster - how often do you move your egg mobile? Do you have any photos of the inside? Are you grazing any animals before or after your hens?

MacGuyver - Love the video of the Mother of the Year. Hawks are thick here and swoop down to buzz large fowl that are free ranging. My chicks on pasture are in tractors, so I haven't had to worry about hawks getting them. Snakes have been a problem, though, and I'm still losing a chick here and there to a bull snake or a black snake.

Coffee's finished so I'd better get back to the flock. Have a great day, everyone!

The Humane Society does wonderful things and it is the ASPCA. The humane society of the united states, HSUS, is another branch of the other very evil group that is unmentionable. If you look at the financial records of the two groups they constantly shift money back and forth and the goal of both is no animal ownership, whatsoever.

From their website:
"Accordingly, The HSUS pursues the reduction of animal suffering in the raising, housing, care, transportation, and slaughter of animals raised or caught for food. Furthermore, we seek to ensure that animal production systems are humane, sustainable, and environmentally sensitive. The HSUS supports those farmers and ranchers who give proper care to their animals, act in accordance with the basic ethic of compassion to sentient creatures under their control, and practice and promote humane and environmentally sustainable agriculture."

Not much for me to argue with, there, since it is why I do what I do. Whether board members or individuals who support it belong to other groups is irrelevant to me, as long as the organization acts on this particular principle. It is my number one priority.

PS: Glad to see you are still with us. You are one of my favorite posters.

We have had a busy morning at the market. I didn't plan on putting in more greenbeans but they are a hot seller. Sold 20 lbs of greenbeans by 830. DD has done better at moving eggs today too.

We are officially down to 1 cabinet incubator. Going to clean the other one good & store it away until spring. Last 2 wks we only set 4 dz eggs, our house will soon be much more quiet.
