Baymule’s Farm

I got those 10 chickens processed and cut meat off the bones of a couple and made pan sausage. I cooked down the bones, wing tips, skin, and back pieces in the crockpot for a couple of days until the big leg bones crumbled. Tossed in some leftover rice and the dogs love it over their kibble.

My Anatolians love chicken. I cooked down some feral hog scrap meat for them and the third day they walked away from it. Nope. It ain’t chicken!

How long did it take for the bones to crumble?!?!?
I haven't seen that and you KNOW I torture my crock pots making broth!!!

About 2-3 days. I had some back pieces in the mix and it’s like they melted away. When the leg bone pieces break easily, it’s done. I don’t know about making it into broth, it’s kinda overcooked. But you can try and report back here! LOL Dogs sure love it!

Yesterday I dug up some thistles. I hate those things! I’ve got lots of them. Last year I cut off the blooms and seed heads and threw them away.

I spray the big fat roots with a vinegar solution. Hopefully it works

1 gallon white vinegar
1 1/2 cups salt
2 tablespoons Dawn dishwashing liquid

I filled the back of the mule, but now what do I do with the awful things? I need to chop more! They are making blooms.

If it's early in the growing season I can dig them out with a shovel, but yours are HUGE!!!
