    LEDs - Are They Worth It?

    Bought a rechargable LED flashlight 6 months ago. 20 hours on 1 charge was the claim. Use it regularly, not had to charge it yet. The light is much brighter , goes further, than our battery torch. Emits a white light. 6 bulbs in our one...the replacement cost might be high. But at 6 bucks, it's...

    I am 1 of a family of 14 myself. 1 set of twins and the rest singles. 10 sisters and 3 brothers. Our ages span 20 years. Our neighbours referred to our house as the "animal House". Due to the noise coming from it. I never learned this 'til I was in my 30's. It was hectic.....1 bathroom....4...

    A Tribe in Somalia (NE Africa) sometimes have trouble with their cows dispatching their milk.(we've all been there, right, cold hands, strangers hands) well, in such cases one of the boys is sent to solve the problem. He first lifts the cow's tail and blows on the vulva. Not working?....lips...

    Mother of Octuplets

    Did the lady have fertility treatment? Please excuse me, I'm not from y'all parts. Just get the headlines. Seems though, any woman with 6 kids getting fertility treatment is asking for a train wreck. Maybe the federal costs should be passed on to the clinic. If that was the case. Is this woman...

    Take a look at this bull

    Doc....when you speak of "depth of round" are you refering to barrell or butt? He looks like an athletic range bull to me. Good length, could be deeper in the body. He's wide enough, from his stance in the picture. I think (from the picture) that he's got a slightly weak top-line. I presume he's...

    Hen's eggs

    We wedge a few straw filled baskets up the trees near where they roost. If you let them hatch, it's amazing to see Momma coax them down. Like jumping off a cliff :shock: :D B.

    Corn prices

    Apart from ethanol....how much animal feed will these 40 odd extra plants be churning out? Manufactured animal feeds should come down in price then? B.

    Debunking CAB's Claims?

    We switched to dry brewers grain about 3 months ago. Very palatable, cheaper and a marked improvement in gain. We feed it 20% of the mix. Whether the extra gain is fat or flesh remains to be seen however. I read one report that described wet brewers grain as "the ingredient that puts milk in the...

    Debunking CAB's Claims?

    I think you'll find that brewers grain and distillers grain are different. Brewers grain is mostly malted barley, whereas distillers grain is mostly corn. B.
