    Nipple Waterers

    We use nipple waterers for our show pigs. They are a lot easier to use, theres always fresh water and no stale water with mud in it to empty out. Our animals liked them so much our goats started reaching into the pig pens to drink from them, so we added some to the goat pens. Now we have no...

    Selling colored eggs...do you ask more for them?

    I looked at the Organic feeds and I figured the numbers don't make sense for me to feed, no one will pay $6.00 a dozen for organic. Which is what it would take to make a little profit, unless you grow your own feed, but that's a whole different story. So I just let my customers know that I do...

    Do chickens spread weeds?

    We mix our chicken poop with leaves,goat manure, and soil in an old cement mixer, add a little water to moisten it. Then empty it into a 30 gallon drum with a lid, the heat that builds up in there will sterilize all the weed seeds and help break down everything into usable garden soil. Whatever...

    Calling All Old Cast Iron Lovers.......

    When we go camping or riding I cook green chile pork in my 14" pot, over a low wood fire of course. I leave it on there for about four hours and when we get back it's perfect with some homemade corn tortillas. Family always look at me kind of funny, when I'm cleaning it out. I scoop any left...

    Egg Prices

    We are asking $3.50 a dozen, or 3.00 if you bring your own carton. The local vendors from the farmers markets keep trying to buy them for 2.50 and want us to include the carton so they can resell them as their own for 5.00.

    Chain drive garage door opener as a egg turner?

    I wondered if it wouldn't jerk the eggs around to fast, but you should be able to adjust the speed by changing the sprockets to change the gear ratio.

    Chain drive garage door opener as a egg turner?

    Has anyone ever used or tried to use a chain drive garge door opener to turn you egg trays? It seems like it could work and if it's a 24 volt motor we could use a cheap low voltage timer for from irrigation systems. They operate 24 volt valve solenoids. or maybe a landscape light timer? Let me...
