oldtimer Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The roll gave him gas... In college some of the guys in our freshman dorm decided to light the Christmas tree on the front steps of the three story Hall. The flames went higher than the roof. Thank God for stone exterior construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryC Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I live in northwest Montana and as I walk through the forest I like to strip the soft needles from Larch branches using my teeth. They're very soft and strip off easily. You can chew them for a couple of minutes as they liquify. I swallow them. They taste like a mix of mint and lemon. Many people regard Larch and Birch bark and other parts as medicinal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryC Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 @billybob, yes goats are often used for weed control in pastures and in forests. They can eat weeds that are toxic to other animals. Some people rent their goats to farmers and tree farms for this purpose. Put a llama or two among them to fend of predators and you have an organic method of weed control. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted January 12, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2020 Also it's not just about size but attitude, the same reason they will put a donkey to protect much bigger horses. But in a pack I would guess anything can change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Coyote have been known to draw dogs to the fence to pull them through using a female in season to attract. Also, they can use their teeth to aggravate fence wire into breaking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about 10 minutes the smell was so strong I had to take the kettle outside then clean it. That kettle stays on top the stove to help add some moisture when the heater is lit, it took some time for that smell to come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
