GOAT peoples....
I am reading that some milkers are saying that the pump needs to be a pulsing machine or it causes mastitis???? Anyone know anything about that?

How to Build a Goat Milking Machine

Gather Your Materials. You need a wide-mouth half-gallon Mason jar with a metal lid, 6 feet of food-grade 1/4 inch plastic tubing, a plastic T to split the tubes, 2 1 ...

Yes, it is my understanding the the pulsing machines are better for the goat.

Warn't complainin', I'm astonished you manage to do as much stuff as you do!

Hey..... While we've got you here....
Ever considered setting eggs?

@Nifty-Chicken

Well, I'm lucky (as are the millions of peeps that visit BYC) to have a lot of help from an AMAZING group of moderators and members!!!!

Setting eggs: haha... we've done it a few times, but

1. We're at our limit of chickens for our city
2. Soooo busy with so many projects (some are pretty big and involve BYC)

Limit? The founder of BYC doesn't have over a hundred chickens? Shame, shame.

That's because all that medicine stuff (you know, pain pills and antibiotics and open heart surgery and joint replacement and chemotherapy and MRI machines and and and...) is invented by little fairies. Who needs research?

BTW, teaching future doctors is also supposed to be "free work" that we do.

So there will be no-one to teach the future generations and guess what- people will still get sick, and the US will need to import FOREIGN (Gasp) doctors and nurses to care for them.

why did I just see a flash back of the CDC center go POOF in THE WALKING DEAD????

Who needs the CDC anyway?? without it Zika, hepatitis, Avian flu, ebola, smallpox, polio etc etc will wipe out the less well protected members of society so the budget will be less, with more for the rich.

But hold on...

Who would be around to do the actual work and produce food, and care for all the sick people that the infectious diseases are incapacitating???

Oh yea - how about importing immigrants to do that!!

Pulled the hole saw out tonight. Planning to mount bulbs tonight, maybe the fan IF I can find long screws.

Oh, and I sold 9 chickens today so I have an excuse to set just a few more eggs.

I was looking at the coops, I still can see putting out that much for something I can make cheaper and better. Kid is pushing for one of those clear lid bators but idk, hate messing up what I got going fine.

Quote: I set the eggs no waste here

Studies have shown that the amount of ivermectin that gets into eggs is minuscule if at all. Also in some parts ivermectin is used to treat humans. It has literally saved a generation of people from river blindness in the 3rd world.

Thanks Jess, All the 72 hour heat packs I bought two years ago are duds now. sucks I paid a fortune for a case of them! ughhh
There is an Amazon warehouse literally in the same town my son lives in, yet he doesn't get his stuff any quicker than I get mine.
I just dont get it
Is there a time limit on the MPC deal? If not, why not just take your time, sit back, & wait for something to strike your fancy. Or, you can do what I'm doing with Bass Pro gift cards. I know what I want, but the cards won't cover it, so I'll wait 'til it goes on sale, when I'll use the cards to their maximum advantage & pay the difference....or wait to get more cards.
