    Chicken with Prolapse

    For animals with a uterine prolapse, I use sugar sprinkled onto the uterus after washing off all debris, then push in into the body cavity. May work or may not... in any event, chicken dinner sooner or later.

    Meet Pearl, New Horse

    Does her teeth need floating ? Also, try some vitamin B12, and some wheat germ oil, and/or flax seed oil. I got these by the gallon from my feed store. I also fed high quality US %1 leafy 2nd cutting alfalfa hay to get horses ready for shows and get more dollars at sale time. As the old...

    What to plant ?

    Our rainfall amounts vary with @ 6 year la ninnya (?sp) ocean cycles. We are now in the wet cycle. Then add the fact that the state cut down hundreds of cottonwood trees behind our back fence for about a mile long. So, much more soggy now than before. I dug a new dry stream bed and dry...

    What to plant ?

    The native plants are oak, pine, cottonwood trees all over 40' +++ tall. When the soil becomes this soggy, add some wind whistling down through the Columbia River Gorge and they decide to dance upside the soil and come crashing down on one's houses. The native tree grove across the road ...

    We live in SW Washington... our subdivision was built on a former swamp filled in rubble rock and different soils on top of them. The state of Wa. owns the land right behind our back fence, so they installed a drainage channel there for over a mile and a road beyond that channel, and there...

    Tomatoe Cages

    I have stood quite a few stallions at stud, including client stallions and a ferral stalion from the wilds of Montana at UCD. If YOU value your LIFE that 20" chain will make even the most excitable stallion ( raging hormones ) a gentleman especially when they are to breed a mare. Those...

    Mice in machinery

    My 12 ga. shotgun has 2 interchangeable barrels, one is 3" shorter than the other yielding a better expanded pattern for small game. I am not squeamish of any snakes as evidenced by several pet snakes. Also, there were several very large garder snakes living in/ near our barn hunting for mouse...

    Tomatoe Cages

    The woven wire cages used for containing tomato plants are VERY DANGEROUS for livestock as they tend to paw at the standing or stored cages. They get their legs tangled in the wire ( especially horses ) and may skin themselves to the knees or hocks at best or break their leg (s). This results...

    Can you overwinter tomatoes?

    the other project we need to do that will cost something is more cosmetic, but if i stick it out here longer term it will be a nice thing to have done (fill in the front ditch) because right now it's due for work anyways and if we have someone do the part that needs work it might make sense to...

    Duck's New Ragtag garden, Version 2020

    I had between 20 - 33 horses annually, depending on the number of foals born and how many foals/yearlings that haven't been sold that year. Most of the mares where on the pasture. I almost always had 8 horses in stalls .... so ... 40 pounds/ day x 8= 280 pounds of manure to muck out and...
