I was thinking about that because as I was looking to replace them every site had warranty’s. So I was like well did the ones I already bought have them as well. Definitely going to dig. I was thinking the same thing as far as potting the comfrey! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! We enjoy having you, I always look forward to your comments!

I will definitely get with you for some comfrey that would be amazing! Thank you hope you’re staying warm!

We also planted comfrey last season. It seemed to take forever for it to grow, but once it did, it look off. Maybe that comfrey you planted will take off and you won’t be able to stop it. 😀

That would be amazing haha

They are a New Zealand mutt

@elderacres ho uguali pure io e una mia combinazione di incorniciato di razza

Nice!!

.

Yeah spot my main doe only had one this last time as well. Super excited to get the rabbitry moved as well. This is where it was originally going to be. The last two weeks it has poured rain and all I can think about it having it under a roof now haha 🤣

Thank you! I’m thinking it’s going to be around 250

Мда Ломаешь😂

Rabbits are easy and you can be pretty fast at it as well. Mine are on the smaller side unfortunately, looking into some nice stock to buy soon tho!

Up until you commented I completely forgot to look that up haha. It’s so funny to because I’ve never thought about it until that moment of course recording lol 😂. Thanks for commenting

What’s happening bubba!

This one is literally almost the cheapest you can get at your local Lowe’s. It was like 180 bucks and is a 6.9. I was going to spend a bunch and get a huge one but decided I’d rather have many small ones then one giant one.

You know what you are correct we will not be doing that!

@elderacres lol glad to help

@ yes thank you!

I think so friend

Exactly getting so many pumpkins I gave in with the straw. Have to have the carbon when it comes time to add it to the pumpkins. That would be a lot of leaves to take up in the woods to mix in with all them.

@elderacres take the bucket on your tractor and mash them up and they will dry quiter

I could but we aren’t worried about how fast it goes

That’s awesome! Go you! Was it a bunch of medium ones or did you get some really big ones! had a ton of people reach out saying I could have theirs and this year I went to people that sell them and told them to reach out to me after the season is up to clean up what’s left. A few said they would but we will see. Also have a couple business’s up town that will have me clean up their decor soon!

@elderacres I got one 30 lbs one and then 3 smaller ones. For only 2 plants in crappy soil, I was kinda surprised. Neighbors walking past were astounded that I was growing pumpkins. I'm kind of enjoying being that one weird neighbor with the garden.

That’s awesome! With neighbors walking by I bet that makes for fun conversations.

Thank you!

We definitely loose a few hours come evening bring down in the holler but I’m thinking we should still do okay! I was actually thinking the same thing! We have a few cloves from the store that have sprouted, we will have to see what they do!

@elderacres I tried store bought cloves last year and they just rotted. Apparently we need a hardneck variety in this area

@ yeah maybe we will just order some cloves should get it fast enough to get it in the ground!

Very cool! Also made quick work of things for sure! Cleanup shouldn’t be bad either.

Yeah too many, they only use 4 lol! Glad you added that so I knew who you were!!

Yeah to many, they only use 4 lol. Glad you added that so knew who you were!!

😂

There riddled with screws and nails. Rotted split. Not everything is worth saving.

We kept them all!

Exactly! And these are consistent with what we have been getting. Which is expected being the same doe and buck.

@elderacres Have you weighed the carcass for your notes? Kinda curious what actual use able amount you're getting. Fingers crossed I get my rabbits at the end of the month.

I need to start I haven’t been tho, have just being doing live weights

We will have to get a thermometer hung up in there for sure! I’ve been debating on that as well. I’ve thought about getting a couple gold fish or something for it. I doubt the chickens would ever get ahold of them. The only question would be if it is deep enough for them to get through the winter. But gold fish will go into a dormant state. Probably going to wait until spring to get a couple though that way they can at least enjoy your year before we find out the answer to that question lol

It’s a 15 degree hike

Mine got to 110 it was 90 outside I’m new to greenhouse gardening. When it gets cool out around 50&60 degrees it keeps things nice n warm for late bloomers my peppers are running late and hope to get a few weeks. I have video on my channel. I used pool frames on marketplace, for free they were.

Your gonna want to get drill ankers it can and will blow away 👍👏🍺 or like dig a hole and get cement with like rings pushed into it

Also, awesome job on the pond, it's gonna look great

Thank you!

The first frost will probably be coming up soon yeah, but they were really not doing well where they were. I figured this my give them a better chance to go ahead and get them moved

I have read that as well. We will give a few more tries and see how she does. If she doesn’t get it figured out we might hold her back till spring, cold weather surely won’t help a learning doe.

Very enthusiastic young helper lol

Yes she is!

They are doing okay I think next year I am going to rotate frozen bottles for them tho in this heat. And don’t know what side you are on in Ohio but no we are not far. Southeastern Indiana right in the tristate 45 minutes to Kentucky or Ohio

Is it New Zealand’s

@elderacres yes I got 30 does and 6 buck

I was just thinking about making a video about that. The bed right next to my hutches was spotless, then I planted my comfrey and everything shot out of it. I’ve weeded it and I haven’t seen any. I’m about to dig for my roots and see what happened with them. I think next spring I am going to plant some in pots so I know I can get it established.

And correct the youngest kits on the end are her third!

Is the question how do I weigh them?

@@elderacres I wondering when you way them how old

I like to weigh them around 6 weeks when I wean them then I try to do it every two weeks until butchering just depends on how busy I am. Always do it at 6 and day of butchering tho and you can see the growth patterns good enough with that.

@@elderacres ok tx just had 3 does kindeld and was wondering

No problem!

They are all Rex

Such a frustrating thing to go through when you put so much work into them! Keep trying if it doesn’t work the best thing you can do is just let go and get a different doe. Everything changed for us as soon as I did!

That’s awesome!

Thank you!

They are at 12 weeks

@depiperfarm268 I get I'm to 5and6 pounds at 9to10 weeks

.

What would you suggest

I’ve been thinking about switching to silver fox

I've been looking into getting silver fox from a place in Kentucky called Fur Foxy. I've not got a place set up yet, but within the next couple months fingers crossed.

What part of Kentucky I’m just across the river!

@@elderacres I think they're in Louisville? They've got a waiting list and said I might get a trio in October.

.

I will try to remember this! Thank you!

I set this up to be just for that. Then “weeds” took over lol I do wish to get better and knowing what ti pick for them for the “weeds” lol

I’ve been working on planting some more.

6 months should definitely be mature enough to breed. Throw your doe in with him and see if he performs!

I wean at 6 weeks

You might be right and I never knew that. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, will do!

I've watched videos it seems not too brutal but I'd like to hear it from somebody actually doing it

It’s not terrible I use the broom stick method anything that makes it fast, painless, and clean is good. You might not like it at first but do it a few times and you will get used to it. Just stick to knowing that the process is letting you and your family eat something that you know is healthy and had a good life! Nothing you can do for yourself is better than anything in the store!

@@elderacres Thanks! Doe should be here in a week and I'll try for my first litter August-September

@@elderacres Also, where did you find that log? seems like it would come i handy

If you get on living traditions homestead KZbin channel you can find it in their bio!
