My neighbor who was born turn of last century, said her family would butcher a pig every yr and it was the nastiest thing to do. But after it was done it was very rewarding.
I can’t image living like that.

Yep.
The one I buy/bought simply lists ‘whole milk’ as the only ingredient.
Great ideas!
Hops, yeast and barley. Everything else is a waste of time.
I’ll look next time.
Thanks.
Yes, I have to supplement with selenium and copper regularly. I looked into growing alfalfa - there is a hybrid that is created to grow in my zone, but I cannot just let the goats forage it, they will bloat. So, I would have to harvest and cure it. I’m thinking I will just stock up on the alfalfa pellets.
Good luck keeping your goats contained with electric fence….
I’ve been looking at Sam;s but have not seen it. What department is it in? Or what category of foods?

But, the greenies turn it into gasoline to save Gaia...
Thanks for keeping the prepper threads going.
We have NDs - I wanted something easy to handle (small) and great for milking (high butterfat). Not great for meat though, lol
It works very well for us. Never had a goat escape (even our determined buck)
My d-i-l who grew up in a well off family in a big city, sees no need for prepping. It’s beyond her comprehension that some day she might have to live on it.
My son was raised well. When he gets back from their vacation, we’re going to do some more pressure canning of beef for stews and soups.
My d-i-l was unloading canning jars on me saying she didn’t want to hang on to them cause it was my *hobby*.
Hobby!
What a mind set.
It reminded me of your tagline. She can think it’s a hobby until she sees the need for it. In the meantime, my son will be all set with those survival skills.
LOLOL...I need to print up some of those ‘labels’. Love it!
A friend bought a goat to help clear a small plot. He imagined eating it once the job was done, but his girl named it. He wound up chaining it to his outbuilding and the goat head butted the small shed to the ground!

Ok. I stand corrected. I was thinking 2 or 3 strands. I have actually used what you are using when I had 300 Nannie’s brought to the research facility that I manage for brush control for a few short months. I had them shipped in from TX and found out a short time later when kidding started that they were harboring Chlamydia when the kids started dying at birth or prematurely.
The product is expensive but I recall it worked.
