Today we had a question on our telegram group about turkey shelter. I laughed to myself because we never planned to have turkeys this year, but ended up with 26 to help a friend who had life events come up and get in the way of being able to keep up on food and water! So today, Tactical and I will share what we have learned about turkeys having adopted 26 with no infrastructure in place beforehand!

Main topic of the Show: New Lessons Learned From Fencing

BG of fencing over the past year or so

Lessons

• It is a better two person project, (Turkey netting story)
• Logging = “Stretching fence” (BC Story) – related, proper stretching tools are helpful
• Electric fence is great, until it isn’t (The water story)
• Ongoing maintenance never ends unless you find an animal to do it for you (Pig story)
• Fencing will be tested most if you do not manage your rotation well enough (Animals, hills, etc)

All in all, it has been pretty eventful here with the fencing, the animals and the transition to increased food production off my small, 3 acre plot of hilly land with just the right amount of southern exposure.

Make it a great week!

Today, I share four normal things on the homestead that some outsiders view as oddball actions.

Stump the Sauce

From Joshua of Ganderflight: How do I prep if I am living in a 28 foot RV and moving around the country with my family?

Main topic of the Show:  Four Normal Things on the Homestead that Seem Odd

1. We try to use up everything – Introducing the BONE BAG
2. We discuss slaughter over dinner
3. Rolling leftovers are not only a thing – it is with pride that we find many ways to “roll” (homemade is usually preferred over restaurant foods)
4. Baby livestock ends up inside – this could mean pigs, chicks, rabbits, goats — just about anything

Make it a great week!
