Moderators dtel Posted April 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 9, 2019 Reminds me of an old joke. A man was in court in front of a judge on charges of killing a bald eagle and eating it. After he explained to the judge what happened the judge said I now understand. After you fell down the mountainside and broke your leg and could not get back up you sat there for a few days hoping someone would rescue you and was weak from lack of food and water. So you saw a bird and decided to shoot it to cook and have something to eat as you were getting weak still hoping someone would rescue you, is this correct? Yes, sir, the man said, it's the only reason and I did not even know it was an eagle. The judge dismissed the case and the man walked out of the courtroom to find all the press waiting to interview him. They asked a few questions and the last one was, well what did it taste like? Not thinking the man said a little like spotted owl. . 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well mannered and love our social interactions. Big momma will roll over for belly scratches if the mood is right.. hoping to breed these two and have offspring for the table. Google "KuneKune" pigs if you want to learn more about the breed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to raise 2 a year, the best pork we have ever had. But doing what you do with all the animals is a job and takes time every day, but much better quality. We had chickens also, people think free food, it's far from free, feed cost adds up. But it is fun if you can be there every day and great if you have kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose all economies of scale, but you also get back all of the quality and peace of mind lost through our current worldwide scale. I'm getting creative with feed - I've managed to find a local brewery that's giving me spent grains and I'm trying to build relationships with some local "farm to table" restaurants for vegetable scraps. All stuff to augment, not replace their regular diet. That's the cool thing about KuneKune pigs, in that they come from NZ and are predominantly grass eaters so they fit perfectly with my goats and can simply be put on pasture. It's very easy to have sprawl with a hobby farm, so we're trying to take a sustainable approach, buy complimentary animals, and focus our efforts on animals that can feed us in some way. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 It's not all baseball, here is a softball one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 13, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2019 I can hardly watch baseball it just seems slow, but it is sure fun playing it. Played on men's leagues, mixed leagues with women where the men must bat left-handed if normally right and church leagues. It was all fun, I probably can't even run anymore, haven't played in 20+ years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
