I think your Mother is being totally unreasonable!


If we had birds in the house, and we must not because my DW says they do not belong in the house, we would use a cut off cardboard barrel with an oven grate over it, that looks a lot like the barrel and grate in the living room. But of course we would never use it for birds  cause my wife said they don't belong in the house. I keep fuzzy cute little goldfish in it now,

There are reported sightings of my mother holding and feeding the chicks so I don't think she's too upset about the matter.

Except when the kids jump on the edge of the brooder and hang their little butts over the edge....

Ahh that is a lot like my wife and the hard and fast no birds in the house rule, I have seen her talking to them feeding them and holding them.

How does alfalfa grass do for bedding? I will have more than enough for the livestock...

lucky you! I haven't found a good source of alfalfa around here - hardly anyone does small bales anymore....

Thanks for the mom story Ralph!! I love them.






I'm on my way home from Brainerd!! Spent the week with my aunt, uncle and cousins. I now have eggs that should start hatching the 4th. I totally forgot about there being a holiday on the 4th but I will never forget the babies birthday!

I will be bailing this into large squares mainly for the reason that I usually end up trucking a lot of it down south and to the east(WI). However I do aswell have a hard time finding anyone doing small squares anymore.

@gofeedthegirls might I say that looks like a whole lotta fun baling that alfalfa. And the tractor looks like the right color too.

Really?

I thought the hue on the color was way too green to have a true tractor color,,, real tractors are red. But then some lawn tractors are greenish, from what i am told

That's a good old John Deere! LOL. They never depreciate (much) and you can count on them for years. Mowers--> the decks float and create lawn heaven...no scuffed marks. I married into an Allis family myself. But my husband got himself out of lawnmowing when I told him if he bought a John Deere rider he wouldn't have to mow the yard any more. I do believe that was the fastest purchase I ever seen him make for me.

He whisked me over to Jim Hennen at the dealership in st. cloud and I was riding green. Still have it 17 years later.

Atta Boy Holm! Can't wait to see your awesome tractor pictures. Now I guess I should dig up some old farm photos too from back in the day.
