    Had a sale...

    At the moment yes - it will be necessary for a bit more than a month more - we are hoping it is less. Time will tell.

    Had a sale...

    LOL! That shopping is not starting for a couple of months. Otherwise I would be there in a heartbeat. Take care and if you are truly that short handed I can take a month off and come and help. Let me know. Just need someone to let me know what needs to be done.

    Old Beef

    One of my favorite animals to put in the freezer is about a 5 - 6 year old cow. If she does not have a calf in the Spring, she stays on grass all summer and goes down in the fall. Best to all.

    Measures taken to warm cattle/protect from cold?

    Joe We are cleaning pens this spring - you want to see how deep that stuff is and the heat that comes off it when we break it open you can come on up The steam will be rolling out of there and the neighbours some distance away will be keeping their windows closed if the wind takes it their way...

    Measures taken to warm cattle/protect from cold?

    LOL Funny thread Joe - if you really are in New York I am only a few hours north of you in Canada. Bury heat pads in the dirt? I let the cow schitte pile up - it heats naturally at even the coldest temperatures. The cattle lay on it and keep warm - if you can beat that for pricing we can...

    Saturated Fat Does NOT Cause Heart Disease

    Just finished what will likely be my last air crew medical in the military - getting old - they are going to throw me out in about 10 months. Doctor and I chatted about sugars and fats as he was surprised my cholesterals were so "good". I told him I ate meat with fat on it. He told me that...

    Beef: It's What You Can't Afford For Dinner

    That is why I did not understand. Two inches is not a roast - it is a decent sized thickness for a steak! LOL bc

    Sheep

    We have only been doing this for about 4-5 years so we are by no means the pros - but so far this is how it seems to be at least for us. We run a base flock of Rideau Arcotts that do well in our part of the world and the good thing is they can breed in any month and give you multiples. We...

    Obama Admin & China Chickens

    Where is that flounder - just when you thought it was safe - there is a need. Where are you flounder? Wait a minute - what about that old sheriff guy - isn't he a COOL guy? He certainly is an obama guy. Wait a minute it DID originate in the US of A - but ..... it left and snuck back in after...

    McDonald's cuts Angus burgersfrom menu

    I have no problem discussing what works and possible ideas to make more cash. Chickens in my part of the world are restricted - personal use is 300 birds maximum. Want to go commercial, I need to buy quota first - minimum purchase is $750K if memory serves me correctly Rules, laws, monopolies...

    Communist China and another reason for COOL

    China - actually I do not give a damm about COOL - it goes far beyond that - unfortunately most folks in the western world chose to ignore the problems this country brings to us. The fact is people in the western world are trading with a very dangerous country. And the US of A is in dire...

    Advice on acreage and herd size needed for new farm

    Buy a small parcel of land, rent it out to a neighbour for taxes and up keep. Get a job. Work 8-4 at something not too hard and relax. Raise a few animals on the side if you want until you get your act together. Takes time and you need to eat. With no money "in flow", the "outflow" is faster...

    please help us in the survey of our course project

    Leo I would be considered a very old and uneducated man in your eyes. However, the way you have written this request annoys me. I do not have even one quarter of your expensive and high class education. There may be some here who will not like what I am about to state. It is imperative that...
