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.
