    Smell control?

    We have Chickens, Turkeys, Goats, Pigs and a couple cows. I put all the dirty bedding and manure in piles in our garden. We have a neighbor that lives about 200 yards from us. We are all on 8 acre lots, but we are on top of a hill and naturally everyone builds as high up the hill as they can. So...

    Good speech

    Well if nothing else, Obama gives good speeches. He did a very good job of laying the blame for this debt ceiling mess on the doorstep of his opposition without sounding like he was whining. Boehner on the other hand was clearly backed into a corner on the issue and was in extreme defense mode...

    Flies, they're driving me nuts.

    Fly ideas anyone. I know I need a shower but they're everywhere. We have goats this year and they are terrible. The poop is scooped and the soiled straw and hay is gone. They go after the grain that the goats dump out and the milk that misses the bucket on occasion. Washing the milk stand every...

    Pig poop. Is there a way to deodorize?

    So we decided to give pigs another try. The timing was such that I had to convert part of a horse run in for them. Well, yesterday I finished up pig proofing a nice area for them with a lot of room. When I finally let them in they had a blast running around. Then I started figuring out what to...

    Have you ever googled your screen name?

    I googled Dunkopf pics yesterday looking for a new avatar pic. I was surprised to see my current avatar along with avatars of every person on this forum that has ever posted on a thread I posted on. It was kind of weird. I saw Royds pic first and thought he had gotten his pic from the same...

    I like goats.

    We just got us 2 milk goats about a month ago. I had finally managed to get rid of the last of our horses. I'm not the kid of guy to sell animals out from under my wife, so it was a very drawn out process that required a lot of trading and cajoling to maintain our relationship. So when the DW...

    Well Pumps

    Just sitting here waiting for a little more warmth before starting the work for the day and need something new to worry about. Is anyone knowledgeable about how durable well pumps usually are. I assume there are different quality pumps out there. Mine is a pusher and I've always wondered if it...

    Gonna try pigs again

    Had pigs 8 years ago and they didn't work out so well. We had just moved in and were new to country living. We put the 2 pigs in a dog run the prior owners had and they stayed in for about 5 minutes. At any rate we ended up with a 16 x 24 pen and it was a horrible nasty mess. We now have an area...

    Social Security

    Social Security or Socialist security as some people call it. Obviously SS is on it's way out. This year we are having a so called tax holiday. It's supposed to end next year. Does anyone think that there's a politician out there that is going to take our candy back after 1 year? No it won't...

    That AH Phelps is at it again.

    I guess Phelps is planning on showing up at the funerals of the people killed in Az on Saturday. Who was it that was part of a group that blocked these people from doing their nasty deeds. I hope someone shows up at these funerals to stop him. Freedom of speech is a very costly right.

    Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Day. If you celebrate at all.

    If you exchange gifts for Christmas. Do you do it Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? My family always did it Christmas Eve. My Dad loved to go to Midnight Mass, so we opened gifts about 8pm when my Dad got home from work. My Grandma would take us in the bedroom and say that Santa was coming. Then...

    Interesting read, explains a lot

    http://www.alternet.org/media/149193/study_confirms_that_fox_news_makes_you_stupid Try to get by the title. It is obviously offensive and not true. However go down to the actual questions and read the results. The questions show the deliberate misinformation put out. This is a pew study which...

    Christmas Carolers

    How does everyone feel about being caroled? I know it's anti social but I don't like them. You have to open the door and stand there while a group of strangers sings to you. Meanwhile it's 10 degrees outside and all your heat is going out the door. It's rude to shut the door in their face and...

    1st time butcher, couple questions

    Just butchered my 1st chicken today. Been raising them for 8 years and this is the 1st. It was a meatie. After I soaked it and plucked it, I cut the head off then separated the wind pipe and cut, then cut the neck off. I then cut from the area where the ribs meet the breastbone around to the...

    Full Body Scanners

    So what does everyone think of full body scanners at the airports? I heard that they show certain items that women use at a certain time of the month. The alternative is having your privates actually touched to be sure you are not wearing explosive underwear. It seems like another payoff to...

    What to grow for free range turkeys?

    We live in Colorado on the high plains, about 6500'. Our pasture is sparse most of the year. We have 2 turkey runs so far with a 3rd in the planning stages. They are about 40x70 and run side by side. We have another area about 50 x 120 behind these runs and at a right angle to them. We would...
