When I say Old Fashion fishing I mean quite litterally traping them in with a funnel trap with sticks. I use a slight piece of bate and sure enough they slowly come in over the day. Come visit me, Bear's Place.	06/20/2012 06:51.37 AM	Report This Comment

Farm Hey all well that garden list I mentioned for foods I grow are mainly for the dinner table. We sell excess fruit to local groceries. We love all the fruit and are planting more varities. Come visit me, Bear's Place.	05/21/2012 04:25.22 AM	Report This Comment
Thanks for visiting. We have tried several pig breeds, and recently got two herford gilts. Can't wait to see what they produce. We had red wattles, but had to get rid of them when the cost of feed got too high. We broke our 4-H calves on the tractor- saves the hands!

Well Ruby is a 3/4 red wattle and 1/4 hampshire. This crossing is amazing low on fat cover, high in omega three and GREAT MOTHERS!!!! Sunshine (son's red belt with black spots) is a henzie 57 due on June 16th and son has a bad feeling about how bad of a mother she will be. P2 (our 10 yr old son) has already request a roll of "good" duct tape and a pint of Jack Daniel for Sunshine. Hannah (son's black and white gilt) is due on June 16th, too. She's off of Ruby and is 1/4 red wattle and extoic (dad Ca$h out of Butler, Kentuky). Great to be around young kids (P2's show gilt from last year). The we have a land/york/durco cross Coke and Cola. Stress negative....YES and growing like good weeds. P2 will be showing them at our Fair as breeding gilts in October. However halter breaking 4H calves are about to do my left hand in. Bear broke on finger and dislocated two and Chester Toby is just like his full blooded sister. Come visit me, The Homestead.	05/17/2012 08:00.16 AM	Report This Comment
