Drought hit Texas hard too. Plus high prices that have ranchers selling everything they can. Add in aging ranchers whose kids aren’t interested and the young people who are interested can’t afford to buy the land.

without some kind of mentor and helping financial method in place most smaller farms are destined to be bought up by the bigger operations which are likely owned by corporations or turned into suburbias...

Coffee is ready. I got feed yesterday, it’s all put away. And I got 2 compressed bags of pine shavings. I’ll put the pine shavings in the sheep shelters. Just a few days of sub freezing weather, for Texas, it’s awful. We just aren’t made for extended freezing weather.

Good Morning. Malto-meal, dried cranberries and honey in the bowl, pear slices on the side. Oolong in the cup 
.
The decision on the cranberries was fraught. Oh, not really. I like cranberries as food but the bag of raisins ... no, it is that I have high hopes that the stevia that I ordered online can replace the cranberries that add only sweetness to the herbal tea. The stevia that DS sent me doesn't appear online or in the natural food store and 2 Asian markets visited. These Amazon shots in the dark for tea ingredients hasn't proven out so well. I don't just need honest purveyors of goodies but everyone with my tastes.
The cranberries can go back to what they are good for – hot cereal addiction ... addition.

If stevia doesn't work out, you might want to try monk fruit sweetener. For me, that is the only no/low cal sugar alternative I've tried that doesn't taste "off", or have health and/or digestive consequences.Good Morning.

And I love dried cranberries in either hot or cold cereal, in place of raisins. A daily portion of those is especially helpful for men, to mitigate prostrate issues.

Coffee is ready. It will drop in the 20’s and teens next week there will be a couple of days that it doesn’t get above freezing. No big deal to most of you, but nobody around here likes it very much. LOL

I have been surprised really that meat prices are not higher than they are. Eggs went high and then low again and with the cost of feed I would think the cost would have been higher. Eggs from Washington are higher. They have cage free on them from a new law that chickens have to be out of cages in Washington and it will cost more to produce eggs. I wonder how they collect eggs from cage free birds, but 18 eggs are now over $5 if from Washington. I have not been grocery shopping since I have been sick, so I am not sure our other grocery store has Washington eggs or from another state.
