We had the Asian Hornet in Catalonia. It wiped out all the hives. The bees were the only creatures that made a profit. The chickens could have broken even if the egg sales had been better organised. Sheep, the biggest financial sink hole I've encountered. Donkeys just burnt hay, but did have some use in clearing woodland. Rabbits all died. Muscovy ducks were lovely and fairly cheap to keep.
I've found a file that says it's wheat bran.so it's an antipodean oddity? like marsupials?It would be nice to know, if anyone can share some info on this.
Thanks, MJ. I was going crazy trying to find a link. The stupid computer kept sending me to B-films.
Me too!! And a sordid website too (broll also means rolling with the bros!) So I'm getting a very broad education this eveningThanks, MJ. I was going crazy trying to find a link. The stupid computer kept sending me to B-films.
shame I'm looking this stuff up while seated in a restaurant, I nearly choked on m garlic bread!!
me too - that's why I asked you guys! (I do try to find answers myself firstThanks, MJ. I was going crazy trying to find a link. The stupid computer kept sending me to B-films.
)OK that's good. I give mine a bowlful every now and then, especially in winter, splashed and mixed with a little milk at least 4 hrs earlier to make a crumb (apparently that greatly reduces the antinutritional factors in straight bran).
Well, the thing about New Zealanders is we're a bit like naughty children, we are very good at pretending to follow the rules but really do whatever we feel like. So if the government wants to make a law they really have to make an effort to get willing compliance. We can get behind not feeding cattle to cattle, but that's about where the compliance will end.so glad to hear that at least one government has some sense about this!
Great you have Janice back!Good morning to y’all. From a happy woman! Janice is back!
She was free ranging very close to the coop. Wanted to get in for some commercial feed. My hubby gave some scratch as a reward for surviving.
I hope its safe to let them free range during the morning an early afternoon again. So far we spottet the cat only around 6 pm. And most cats do have a routine if I remember correct. I learned this from an experiment/ BBC documentary.
I suppose this is a joke.
Translate this to humans. Any foodstuffs not provided by Unilever isn’t a balanced feed.
P.s @Ribh What I have learned: a little cracked corn in winter is healthy. So is hemp seed.
Exactly what I was thinking, except it was American School Lunches, which have nutritional requirements. An example of a lunch meeting all requirements. “Chicken” patty on “whole grain” bun. Fries. Cup of pears in syrup. BBQ sauce. 2% chocolate milk. Yup, protein, grain, fruit, vegetable, & dairy.
The alternative choice is an uncrustables frozen & thawed pb&j “sandwich”. No water is available with lunch. And the kids have to take milk even if they don’t want it (there is no non-dairy alternative available for those that cannot or do not want milk.) Breakfast is even worse. “Whole grain” cereal (like Cocoa Puffs or Cinnamon Toast Crunch), a cheese stick (I kid you not, they are given at every breakfast), and a piece of fruit *or* “fruit” juice, plus of course a carton of milk for the cereal. There is a table for all the kids who take the required fruit and don’t want it. Other kids can take a second fruit but usually there are a bunch unclaimed. Technically the fruit is supposed to be thrown out if not eaten, but our manager will save me the fruit to offer in my class as long as I am quiet about it so she doesn’t get in trouble. Most of the kids in my building (prob 80-90%), are below poverty line and get the free government provided balanced breakfast & lunch. I agree. Even something as basic as freshly squeezed orange juice isn’t as nutritionally valuable as an orange since all the fiber was removed and juice will leave you more hungry and apt to eat something else to fill the void.
Thank you (I think) for linking that. I actually read the whole of that at times head-spinning, thread.
