Afternoon All!,
I have a friend who, like most things he does... doesn't really think things through, and about 2 days ago, asked me what I knew on the pros and cons of keeping
Longhorns for breeding and raising a few for meat. He would get two calves both heifers, and raise them and then when...
You know I think of weird stuff all the time, but this one just gets to me.
One of our members on the WI cheese heads thread, mentioned that his neighbor does AI on some of his birds..

So... earlier this year I started Raging while driving.. NOT road rage, just pent up frustration type anger that would cause me to get angry at passing vehicles, or just scream at random moments while alone

I don't remember much, some movement, light and dark, warmth, the occasional peep of one of my brothers or sister. A frantic clucking would come through my shell as I grew. Our mom was not happy being away from the others I think.
I heard a crack, and faint peeps of my brother as he pipped. His...
For those who don't have horses, you don't want an un-neutered male horse in with female horses, unless he is a foal.
AND this one is even worse is that they are siblings.....
AND the picture of one of them in a very very HARSH bit, with their statement that the horse is green broke or just...
I did a hatch with a friend, and low and behold, some of the eggs hatched.

Just wanted to share a recipe I pulled off the top of my head.
I took 4 pork chops, took the bones and fat out, and used 3 small eggs mixed with water.
