Iron deficits, and how to fix them

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Monday October 05, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

I have suffered with low Iron for 9 (diagnosed) years, and probably many before then. This is what a small scrape will look like only hours afterwards if my Iron is low.  This scrape was barely noticable when it happened. When I had our...

Chickens on pasture.

Blog: Foxhollow Poultry Farm   -   Monday April 27, 2009   -   By Tai

This weekend we put up the portable poultry netting in the rain. It was a simple process that took a minimum amount of time and made our chickens really happy. They didn't even care if it was drizzling rain, they just roamed around all day and enjoyed their...

Not Cut Out For CSI

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Wednesday April 22, 2009   -   By Laura

It's sort of ironic.  Big Guy died last night probably right around the same time the first of his babies this year made its first peck at its egg shell and began the process of hatching.  The circle of life in one hour. No poults (baby turkeys)...

Outfoxed

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Tuesday April 21, 2009   -   By Laura

Animals have jobs too

Blog: Harp Turkey Ranch   -   Tuesday April 21, 2009   -   By Wes

Here at the ranch all the animals have jobs too. Their jobs are to do the back breaking work of clearing and tilling the land, at the same time fertilizing and spreading it too. The pigs have gotten more done then I first thought they would. They have to till...

Moo

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Tuesday March 31, 2009   -   By Chris

Poulet Rouge Broiler Update - 2

Blog: Harp Turkey Ranch   -   Friday March 20, 2009   -   By Wes

The first batch is now 9 weeks old. I weighed four of them today as the suspense was killing me. 1@4lbs - 2@5lbs - 1@6lbs, Keep in mind that was on a cheapo scale, but I did calibrate it with a 10 lb weight before I weighed them so they should be pretty close...
