Who wants a poop pic? I'm surprised how fibrous it is, like horse poop.

That looks suspiciously like something somebody would smoke.

Did you know that it is much easier to catch and kill a mink by stomping on its head at 10AM while it is killing a chicken in the field, than it is to shoot one at night or catch one in a trap?
This just happened 20 minutes ago and my heart is still pounding.
I'm so glad I was home. I was just about to leave to have my safety inspection done. The birds are usually safe in the middle of the day when they can see threats.
I heard mayhem and thought it was cockerels chasing pullets but I knew immediately it was a mink because squirrels don't chase chickens.
I didn't have time to grab a weapon. I ran out and he had a cockerel down biting it's neck. He didn't care that 2 other cockerels were attacking it nor that I was running up to the scene. I just stepped on it's chest and then on his head when he started biting my boot, after a couple minutes the cockerel I thought was dead got up and ran away.
Then I rearranged my boot and started stomping on his neck. We had 4" of rain yesterday and overnight so the ground was really soft.

I am glad you were there to get it. Glad your future meal and the pullets are safe. Hopefully it was a great stomping revenge on one that got your birds earlier in the vyear. B

It never ends I found a dig attempt that was foiled by my chain link skirt Monday.

[COLOR=FF0000]For those who have goats....[/COLOR] The antibiotics will no longer be available after Nov or Dec this year.... I have been researching the cheapest way to have the sulfa meds on hand... I am purchasing the -DiMethox 40% injectable given orally (THE SECOND IMAGE) NOTE PRICE?
Cattle Antibiotics & Sulfas

• Di-Methox (12.5%) Drinking Water Solution $55.99 5.0 out of 5 stars (2)

Di-Methox (SulfaMed) Injection 40% $26.99 The following are notes I took when researching...... NOTE THE KID preventative schedules for those that have wet soil known for cocci issues???? Fortified B Complex-To replace the B vitamins in the rumen 5 mL per 100 pounds of body weight. May be repeated daily, if indicated. 40% Albon [Sulfadimethoxine] and Di-Methox 40%[Sulfadimethoxine] GIVEN ORALLY The dose is 1cc/5# for 5 days as a treatment dose 1cc per 10# for 5 days for a preventative dose. Repeat every 21 days. _____________________________________________________________ Treatment for all goats -DiMethox 40% injectable given orally Dosage- .10 cc per # of body weight 1[SUP]st[/SUP] day, .5 cc per # for the next 4 days for a total treatment of 5 days. Dosage-4cc per 100 pounds of body weight once a day till the goat is better Dosage 10 grams (or two marks) the first time, 5 grams (one mark) 12 hours later. Repeat with 5 grams twice a day till the goat is better.

Or at any time, the animal is moved to a new place.

Many people often put kids on a preventative medication starting at 3 weeks of age. Give a twice daily 1/2cc ORAL DOSE of 40% Dimethox or a twice daily 1-1/2cc ORAL DOSE of 12/5% Dimethox for 7 days. After that, repeat the dosage only once a week until weaned.

Another thing yoy should get all along with the v complex and Thiamine is the cow med multi min (blue). It is a great thing to help with health. Especially near me or other areas with depleted soils. Be advised when you give it (SA) it burns some goats and horses don't react, but some will throw themselves down and holler. My vet gives it all the time and proscribes it often. Do you guys have free choice goat mineral and baking soda out for them? I use the two hole feeder from TSC. @Chaos18@campingshaws etc.
