“I want to get us to the point where all we need to buy is staples.”
AMEN to that! If I have the fresh basics and staples, I can feed us for months on end.
I really need to get laying hens again - need a secure place to keep them, though. I gave up my Chicken Coop spot to Beau for more dog kennels - which now I see was a very dumb move on my part. *Rolleyes*
My beef steer (’Weber’) is filling out nicely. He’s on pasture, but he gets two scoops of sweet oats every day, as well as a few Milk Bones; he thinks he’s a dog.
Once he goes to ‘The Spa’ this coming March, he’ll cost us about $4-$5/pound for all cuts. Prime Rib at Easter for $4-$5 a pound? I’m all in!
I really need to re-think the chicken situation...
That’s all a buddy of mine gives his cows for treats is dog food. Sheep and goats love it too. My LGD puppies are finally big enough to fend off the goats when the pups get fed. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a feeder system for dogs that goats won’t figure out. That means I have to feed them every day, rain or shine.
Weber LOL
