Hey you all!!!
Summer is almost over. We will have a new computer in a few weeks!!!!!!!! I am at hubbys work writing this, so I wil not be around for replies.
We raised 50 CX this summer, and 16 of those we sold at $20 each. Raised on grass, and Barley and fishmeal. Best chicken ever!!! Some were as heavign as 7 pounds dressed out.
Selling a percentage really cut our feed expenses as well. And even with buying more expensive feed, the cost per bird was lower this year, due to having more pasture for them.
Out of the 30+ eggs/chicks our hens raised for us, we only got 8 hens.
We were overrun with testosterone this summer, to say the least
By the end of the month, we will have put about 60 chickens in the freezer for the year.
We were blessed with double the fish that we normally get as well.
Add to that 2 spring bears, 1/2 a little moose we were given this morning, as well, as a good garden, we will eat well.
Still have not gotten a moose ourselves yet. Just a few more days to try!
I am now taking an all natural Thyroid replacer, ( from
www.drrons.com)so I feel fabulous for the first time in years, plus for those of you that know I have Celiacs, I wanted to mention, that after learning that Celiacs sufferers can eat real homemade sourdough, I went ahead and tried eating some, and had ZERO reaction to it
I am back eating real bread!
I can talk more about it next month when we have a 'puter again.
Birdbrain has my number if anyone wants to talk to me before then.
But as I said, not sure exactly WHEN....might be a week or two or so. We'll need to go into town one day and get bones for the dogs to tide them over for a 15+ hour day of us being gone. Especially the two in the house.
