True.... but it sure does not translate to 2x + the cost.. Organic cert then maybe.
I am not sure why given how well beef is doing but I can get locally not organic but grass fed only for $1 lb hang weight + 0.95 lb processing finished weight. About $3/lb final. My last Angus from a friend at...
You know you just had to spur that interest I have had to try and sell farm products. LoL
You are generally correct.. There are a few places that will offer turkeys that are grass feed. But they are only the double breasted whites which like our conishX are the least flavorfully of the birds...
Yep that!s those evil little $%%#@$.
I never thought or have heard of splitting the vine. Great Idea!
Yes I am as far north as you can get in Va.. If you look at the top north east of the state on a map there is a small finger that is surrounded by W Va.. Its fredrick county Va.
I actually did but it was after buying the feed in bulk for them.. I also need to try another coop farther away for better pricing.. The only one in close range New Country Organics best price for 1/2 tote 1000lb was $570 or 0.57/lb

Wow thats funny.. I had read about fermenting feed right before I picked them up but wanted to not try to many things with our first run.. I was literalism just starting to search this topic again.. I am so glad you brought it to.
I never considered the water they would get from the mash...
Thanks.. Yes it is.. We try to stock/cycle our meat and crops on a year supply.. The down side to this is space and cost of freezers.. When you end up with a few hundred pounds of beef. About 400lb of chicken. A couple hundred of hog and about that in venison.. Usually some squirrels rabbits...
I will have to check the size of this freezer.. Its not my huge chest one that is 7' long and 25 cuft.. I would say its about 13/14cuft.. What I did to freeze them quickly is put a single layer in each of my various freezers.. Once frozen I moved them into that one freezer.. We have 5 freezers...
I am a new member here.. While new I have been gleaning info from the members here for yrs.. Much of what I learned and my success was because of you all.
Thought I would give an accounting. Really kicking myself for not taking video or pics.. Will do that for sure next season.. This is likely...
