    Do my birds still need the heat lamp?

    Do my birds still need the heat lamp?

    They can handle it a lot colder that 50 degrees. They are fine and probably would have been fine a week or so ago. Barry

    When can my meaties go outside?

    Unless the weather is going to be in the 40's at night I would put them out at 14 days. 4 weeks is way too long even if it is cold out. Those birds are heat machines and they can take cold a lot sooner than egg layers. Barry

    Cornish cross have to be the stupidest birds....and a ?

    I have had them pile on top of each other in intense heat to get away from the sun. Make sure they have enough shade on a hot day. I also take away all food when the heat is strong. Barry

    Well my two pigs went to the butcher on Saturday. The hanging weight of the larger one was 135 lbs and the smaller was 110 lbs. So defenitely on the small side but I am anxious to tase it. Barry

    Pastured poultry--what are you charging this year?

    Quote: I think we should so both. Grain prices and grocery store food prices have risen dramatically, we as food producers are not immune to that. We should be striving to be as efficient as our model allows, but there are inherent limitations as to how efficient we can be. We cannot...

    Butcher Time - Hogs

    Pig is tasting great! I grilled the 4 catfishes last night. IMHO, that is the best piece of meat on the entire hog. What are the catfishes????

    Pastured poultry--what are you charging this year?

    $3.00 per pound. Should be higher if grains stay where they are, or go slightly higher. Barry

    Butcher Time - Hogs

    I think so. Right now I plan on raising most of my pigs in the winter and I need to think of ways to keep the water from freezing. Barry

    Butcher Time - Hogs

    My big worry with them being smaller is the fat content. I want some fat for sausage and for flavor. Tamworths are lean to start with, we will see. Barry
