Be careful of your invites!! My idea of a bedtime snack is a pork chop...and that's not an exaggeration. I've been known to do just that!

The invitation is wide open.
And at least I know what I can feed you

Hubby put down the baby quail with the bad feet and ankles. The teeny one died. The one with the bad beak is hanging in there. The rest of them are thriving!

Mine will be ready this fall and I'm still debating about doing it on farm or taking them to a custom processor. I'd like to start breeding mule foot, but definitely have a lot of pasture work to do first. And I'd like to get a feeder steer this year, but need to figure out where to put it...

A steer will be out next endeavor... or bison. Just gotta (pardon the pun) beef up our fencing

While I am sorry that you had to lose a couple, is it okay if I just focus on the last part of your post? The "The rest of them are thriving" part? Okay, that's what I'll do!

Thanks so much, really needed a good laugh.

Morning all, thanks for the chuckles...

Glad you guys got laughs out of it

I was having fun typing it lol

Well that is how Mother Nature does it, one foal at a time. No turner needed.

Very true! Would be nice to incubate multiple though. And yeah, do mammals get turned like poultry?

Fowl in an incubator, foal in an incubator....what's the difference?

One's a lot bigger

Take a hundred pounds back to @N F C for the restaurant at the golf club.


Then there are the females that live here. There is beef and there is "just the other stuff". Especially pork and chicken. They do love bacon but I think it would be quite difficult to convert an entire hog to bacon. Neither will eat sausage. I live in a food desert.

We're kinda the opposite of a food desert haha

Although I hate pork. Well, not hate, it's great with certain sauces like my dad's balsamic plum reduction sauce, or apple sauce, or my mom does this like orange juice, bread crumbs, random seasonings thing haha so I guess long story short, I will eat it but it is not my favorite and I don't particularly like it much.

Love chicken and beef though.

Also I'm not a huge bacon or sausage person

I love beef but mostly just have to eat hamburger, like chicken & turkey. Hate seafood.
Don't eat bacon or sausage.

My brother has had buffalo burgers and said they were good. I'll pass on them too.

 

[ShrekDawg]

I also hate seafood which is weird coming from New England lol

Bison burgers (same as buffalo i think?) Are pretty good but i prefer regular burgers. But my parents both say they are the best and delicious

Good Morning Friends

Great to start my day with a chuckle; thank you

Cap sorry to hear about some of your bubs but great news the others are thriving

Funny you guys n’ gals were talking about piggies, this little guy was on my FB stream this morning and I thought he was appropriate with our current weather:

71mm or 2.7 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. More predicted today but not raining at the moment. TC’s fizzling out

Typical Sunday for me, finish housework, washing, trip in to town for weekly grocery stock up and then home to potter, water under cover plants etc.

Lamb roast with roast potatoes and broccoli cheese on the dinner menu
