Cows use up the protein in their diet with milk production maybe? Would they really be comparing feed lot beef production (male or female, but mostly steers) manure to dairy cow manure?

We saw one female on the 25th and none since. :( Normally they are here by now, and we most often have droves of them at first. We can have so many we can't count them at the 2 feeders, but in a still shot guessed at 33 once. When the wildflowers come out the numbers here at the feeders fall...

Please review the rules regarding political posting.

Enough. Please review the rules, too many broken here to list them! Sadly politics just can't be discussed without degrading to attacking each other so please keep it off the board, period.

Folks you can put your opinion up politely or you can leave the thread without posting. There will always be two sides to this debate, respect the other one or your say in your side will be removed, and so might be your posting privileges. This is the only warning this thread will have, you...

Here is one place to start. Many threads at BYC on this too. http://organicchickens.homestead.com/ChickenFeedRecipes.html

I planted 2 round bales of hay into feeders surrounded by snow. They sprouted horses the minute the tractor was out of the way, amazing! Indoors the Amaryllis have started to grow. My February pick me up - hold me through till spring outside - sanity flowers. :cool:

Well we warmed up to -3 C today so that's about 27 F, not bad at all. I'm glad it did not get to the mucky stage as that would just make for lots of ice, and a surface skin of ice for sealing the soil. Then come spring the melt can't soak up, it has to run off. Here the soil is high clay so...

Really. I have -21 C happening here, and overnight the wind was 50 kph folks, so don't be whining about 60 F! :lol: I'm getting my exercise getting extra feed to a horse that is shivering, the rest are find but she is a TWH that is tall and lean so she has more surface area to mass than my...

I am saving money with my newer healthy eating because there are few things I can have for lunch if I don't take food to work with me. Eating drive thru is just not much of an option anymore. The higher vegies and lower meat is cost saving, but the pasta and rice being lower is not. Replacing...

I often get the diabetic cooking magazine off the newsstand. That is healthy cooking for sure, and all should eat that way. It's high in vegies and fruits and fibers and low in the higher glycemic index stuff that just makes you crave more of the same. I have to strive to stay at the same...

Oh thank you for that. I feel so much better about staying on the couch. ;) 2 years ago when a pre-surgical exam showed me 185 lbs (I did not even own a scale then) I decided that sometime between high school and then I had gradually gained and not noticed, so I should loose the same way. I...

Looking at those pictures I could just cry. We just got our first snow! It's gone but I know soon it will be here to stay. I planted amaryllis this week, 2 of them for my coffee table, they are my winter pick-me-up, keep me sane in the long dark plants.

Thanks, that one was banned already, but I see I forgot to take out the link! Most just got deleted entirely.

Your right, this is a very easy going crowd, and we appreciate it! However the downside to that is that if you need us for trolls or spammers you need to hail us because we lurk here less. Honestly the reason I lurk here less this last 2 years is my return to school part time thus the bare...
