Re: What County in Illinois is Everyone From

I find that hard to believe as bad as Naperville has gotten over the past few years. I remember when it was just a quiet, small town surrounded by farm fields. I used to blast thru there on friday and saturday nites drunk as a monkey on my harley.....

Re: needing goat info..raising for show and for freezer

Re: needing goat info..raising for show and for freezer

if it didnt work, I'd of had some dead animals long before now. Why would it not work internally? Why would heat or moisture affect the nature of it? Here' learn about it.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth edited to add- eh, that kind of sounded insensitive, guess I needed more coff...

Re: needing goat info..raising for show and for freezer

namwal, it kills all worms and parasites. You can also rub it on them to kill fleas and ticks, lice, etc. I have not used any chemicals or medications here since 1993. I feed DE to the horses, cows, chickens and goats. Works great. There is one thing you must be wary of when using it tho, it is powd...

Re: needing goat info..raising for show and for freezer

Re: making my own hay

I am not too picky, I'll cut any little patch. Grass is hay as long as it's not full of sapling trees and weeds. I cut my 3 acre front yard when it gets away from me (just have a push mower and it can grow too quick on me). 30 square bales is 30 more no matter how you look at it. That's a couple wee...

Re: Horse Manure/Cow Manure..?

manpose, I have both cows and horses. They crap ALOT and it doesnt really matter if they digest weed seeds or not, they are ruminants, therefore must have hay all winter to survive. The weed seeds come with the hay, end up mixed in with the manure when shoveled off to the compost pile. So, unless yo...
