KG from Texas!

I raise goats, poultry, hogs, and rabbits and im currently wearing workboots and a carhartt jacket. which one do you think?

when we make sausage, it's 25% fat-just straight up pork belly usually, unless it's a chicken, duck, or turkey sausage-those are closer to 15% fat. Any time we use goat, rabbit, deer, etc-we always make sure it's minimum of 25% or it falls apart when you cook it.

grocery money.

You would be surprised.

I also try very hard to reduce the amount of "money breeders" in the area, that buy an animal to shove it in a cage for the rest of its life, using it only as a means to an end. I don't sell to those people. And I get a lot through here. But here's my thing: I may be living well below the poverty line, and we may not…

Right? I try so hard as a seller to really take time out to teach people (I get first-time livestock owners daily) what I have learned through my years. I can tell you, if you buy a chicken from me, which chickens are its parents, what its favorite treats are, everything health-wise it has had done, etc. Same goes with my…

What sucks most right now? My stove and oven went out, I have no slow cooker, and it's 36 degrees outside while I cook on an open fire. -_- And then I have to do the dishes.
-
I'm so tired of the other two adults in my house not being able to clean up after themselves, and I have to wash dishes any time I want to eat/drink/cook anything. So I'm about to throw away all of our dishes (99% is just Tupperware that we lost the lids for ten years ago) and go get each person: 1 cup 1 saucer 1 bowl 1…

No, but ironically enough I have an uncle who raises them. O.o I actually want a few, but I don't have the fencing for them (yet). (please don't tell my husband....he doesn't know we will get emus someday.)
-
What kills me most is the people who link back to my personal page, see that I have goats, ducks, chickens, etc-and then call the number off my rabbit ad to ask about the goats.
-
I actually got a call for lionheads earlier. They were very polite and friendly, and I gave them every contact I have that happens to have lionheads!
-
Oh, I HAVE brown rabbits. But I like them, so they aren't for sale ;) Fortunately for me, I sell enough (to people with at least a double-digit IQ), that when someone calls and gets irate over something because they chose to ignore the whole ad.... I can call them stupid and not worry about it. As an added bonus, we eat…

I have been pet sitting my neighbor's animals all week. I confess: I stopped walking the dog at all because she isn't housebroken and I was cleaning crap and pee up off the floor every time I was going to get her anyway. So I cleaned litterboxes and the floor in the morning and at night when I went to feed them all. Part…

I own and manage a working ranch-I don't see a desk job in my future. The height isn't what makes a calorie difference, it's sedentary vs active. Short sedentary people or tall sedentary people are still going to calculate needed calories based on weight and activity level-not height.
-
I don't eat at all during the day, then lie and say I had a late lunch when my husband gets home so I know he's getting enough to eat.
-
I get my coffee at 5am, then I feed animals/do laundry/ etc and usually I remember I haven't eaten by about 11.
-
I don't log anything anymore. It's all in my head, and I like to keep tabs on what I'm consuming-but at a certain point in my day I'm like, "I have been up since 4, I haven't sat down yet today, and I still have another 100 things to do before I can go to bed. Eff it, I'm having a waffle."
-
Uuhh....I'm 4'8" and I eat way more than that. O.O
-
As an FYI, the book Passionate Vegetarian has a bunch of recipes that can easily be made vegan. I was veggie for 11 years-then I realized my issue wasn't the eating of the meat, it was the way it was raised. So now I raise my own meat, eggs, and dairy. Best of luck to you :)
-
I work at home, so nobody witnesses me eating except my livestock. And let's be honest...the goats usually talk me into sharing most of my meals with them anyway.
-
I've done the 21 day fix, and even when I moved to the highest calorie bracket I was constantly starving. It was really not good for much besides reminding me to eat more veggies in a day. The workouts are okay if you're a beginner, or if you're pressed for time. My husband called it "The Tiny Container Diet." Some of the…

The last "it gives you cancer" thing I actually read was drinking water from the hose outside. Whoever wrote that article has never lived through a SE Texas summer, and afterwards I quit reading these stupid things.
-
Was skimming the posts, trying to make sense of it all, when I realized I still have blood and feathers on my boots from processing a bunch of roosters yesterday. I "eat less meat" many times a year, usually the months between hatching and the day they are big enough to eat.

There once was a girl down in Texas Who had a duck named Hexxus. She fell down in the coop, Slung mud with her boot, and damaged her poor solar plexus. I have a young goat named Siggy. When we got her she looked a bit twiggy I would post a few more, but the mail's at the door, and it seems my computer's gone wiggy.

If you can grow herbs, you can grow veggies :) Trust me-I have a cabbage head in a pot right now that I cant kill, it's about to go to my hogs because I am sick to death of cabbage. You can send me a PM if you want, I can tell you some of the things I have really great success with in pots!
-
i have a serious sweet tooth. not gonna lie, my husband hides any sweets he brings home for him,because he KNOWS I will inhale it iff I find it. That being said, I can also plow through hashbrowns.
-
We live on basically minimum wage. I grow a garden and we have livestock-I just put 6 chickens in my freezer yesterday and after doing the math I learned that we get chicken for $0.07/lb. Eggs are $0.32/dozen. Veggies are pretty much free since I only use heirloom and gather the seeds. Do you have an area you can get pots…

does nothing for weight loss but if you suffer from candida overgrowth or athletes foot it is a flipping lifesaver. I also give it to my livestock for coccidia prevention.

Pasta, sandwiches, poptarts,cereal, hot dogs. because if im THAT hungry and it's THAT late, I don't give a damn about calories. I just want food and bed.
