    Quote: Hi Opa, I was wondering if you would share the recipe for canning your venison. We just butchered ours last night. I chunked up some to make stew. I have never canned beef, we do have and use a pressure cooker. By the way the deer was a beautiful 8 point buck. Julie

    We have a jack-rat and a rottweiller. The rat could care less about the chickens, but the rott loves them. Where the chickens are she is. She will lay outside the coop and watch them. I believe she thinks it is her job. We have 6 laying hens and we HAD 34 meat birds. Currently she is in...
