    Butchering Question--Resting the Meat from Rigor Mortis

    I intend to try this method as a back injury makes the broomstick cumbersome. Not as quick as I'd like it to be.

    Who here allows your bunny to sit on your lap?

    There is room for pets and livestock...and livestock as pets and pets as livestock. I treat all mine with equal care and love whether they're food or not. They think they're pets their whole lives. I think how you approach any of it is very individual and absolutely ok....as long as you are...

We just started the quail and ducks this spring and hope to grow both into self sustaining and productive flocks. And of course my 100 lbs gsdXg.pyr puppy 😄 Rn we're...

    Struggling With Heavy Losses

    We had our first thunderstorm yesterday...i thought nothing of it. Went out a few hours later to find a normally steller and seasoned mama peed all over 11 kits and they were wet and chilled. I got them in time, warmed and dried and shelved for the night. But waiting now to see if she'll resume...

    Canned Rabbit

    In my original post i did bone in...but i found it such a pain to pick thru. So now i debone everything...set wings aside, and then have great treats for my dog by freezing the bones for her. Remember, if you're feeding bones never feed cooked ones! Cooking is what causes dangerous splintering...
