***** About Venison for Dinner *****
Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey! Our family- Kate and Marius plus our five kids, have always enjoyed living a homemade life whenever possible. Moving 1000 miles north in 2017 to Northern BC, Canada upped our game even more. We live on a 34 acre homestead and get a kick out of things like raising our own meat, dairy and vegetables. Theres plenty of failures, you’ll be sure to see those here too. We’re a homeschooling family who believes life is the best teacher but we do hit the books in winter. I’m so glad you’re here, I hope you stick around!
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I enjoyed the frustrated banter while treating your poor cow. That so would've been my husband and I. Thanks for yet another glimpse into your real, unfiltered life. I appreciate it and it is why I am bingeing all of your old videos.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you so much for your kind words and doing us here!

Freya getting the chicks out was my favorite part! She’s so sweet!

[@tinyhandsbigdreams]

I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU for sharing this, for sharing all the things you do. I'm new to ruminants, just had my first goat give birth and her personality changed pretty seriously, from very sweet and mean and aggressive. She fell oddly a few times, bad poop, generally being strange. I chalked it up to hormones and new experiences. But watching this video I had a lightbulb moment - we suspect that our area is very low in magnesium already and she fit ALL the signs just very very early. We gave extra mag supplements to all the goats, and by the next day she was calmer, and today she was a FREAKING ANGEL and back to herself. I cried in relief. Thank you SO much, if we hadn't known this we might have lost her.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I'm so glad the information helped you and you happy goat!

[@Cindy-gk5qn]

Great video, poor Clover! Love the honest interactions, you & hubby are a great team. Love the honest Mom reactions too, cracks me up. The kids are dolls, so helpful & love the side show danceac gave us. We have 7 grandchildren & your kids remind me of our 11, 9, 7, 4, 2 & 1 year olds

[@Cindy-gk5qn]

That's supposed to say, side show dance Mac gave us

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks so much!!

[@deborahtheodore5407]

Wow, y’all work together well.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Appreciate that

Amos has to be the happiest baby ever!

[@kathleendyer672]

I agree with Jim. Love your curly red hair! It’s very youthful and attractive.

[@TheDawn0310]

What an awesome teaching moment for those of us wanna bees’ lol

[@allegra1236]

Was fascinated to see your purchase of comfrey! What do you use it for? I grew it for years because it was such a striking plant and later flowered. Had a hard time keeping it in my garden because my dogs loved eating the leaves! It was their favorite treat. Always found a few ‘hairy green leaves’ stuck in their fur. Someone cautioned me it was toxic to the liver. My dogs lived a long time. 🤷‍♀️ Unfortunately, I was new to gardening and computers were not invented yet, so I was never able to use it. I believe the “health food stores /hippies” (haha) at that time suggested I make a tea. Thx for the fond memories of a garden long ago!

[@toothaching]

Had to Google cow magnet. Learned something new today. hehe. cute little peeps.

[@nomir4065]

I have yet to try and IV a cow. definitely a two person job! Clover is giving you an eventful spring!

[@lynsmith2698]

Clothes lines are the best. I use mine year round when possible. Wow that was a big sow, there’s going to be a ton of good eating out of her. I love your chaos. Cheers 🇨🇦🌷

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes, we often have frozen clothes on a sunny winters day but I love the scent. Thank you for joining us here.

[@marm2371]

OMG! Those chicks are too cute! Will you do a tour of inside your home and a tour of your grounds?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes I will

[@nikkiheide5447]

We run beef cows and due to the drought last year and there not being any old grass left out in the pasture and then the new grass coming super quick now grass tetany is something that's everyone is watching out for and adding a free choice magnesium supplement alongside their regular salt and minerals to try to prevent.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Wow. Always something in farming.

[@melissamurphy1569]

I'm on my third hatching of chicks this spring and this time I'm doing some Icelandic chickens to put into my flock. Apparently they are very hearty for our area which is the high desert. There is also some silkie eggs in there cause my girls sell them to make a little money for the summer. 😄

[@VenisonforDinner]

Sweet!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

When I had a speciality Coffee shop I sold a tea called Market spice Wow was it so good it had cloves in it but it's high priced and very hard to find I bet it is good for you

[@diannemiller4754]

Kate do you have a recipe for the cheeses you make? That is some process giving her the iV and magnet too. Fun stuff.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I have some cheese recipes on my website venisonfordinner.com/

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Got the close line Idea from when we went out paving in Alberta and rented a house and there was a close line made out of an old pencil sharpener thought that was cool

[@abbeys9092]

Where are these bibs from? I’ve seen them a few times I think and I like the look!

[@VenisonforDinner]

They are Patagonia and I love them!

[@magen2271]

I would love to know what your specifications are for using a butcher?

[@VenisonforDinner]

I’m sorry for the delay in replying. Could you be a bit more Specific with what you are looking for?

[@magen2271]

@@VenisonforDinner totally fine. You said that you finally found a butcher that would process the meat to your specifications; I was just wondering what those were?

[@amandaw30]

I hope clover is good as new! I'm super impressed on your iv and magnet skills. I've got the iv kit, but have never actually done one. I've also got magnets hanging out on my fridge that I'm afraid to put in. We got our cow when she was 3 and I don't know if she was ever given a magnet. Do you know how to check if they have one? Or does it not matter if you end up with 2 in?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Odd as it may sound it's ok for them if they end up with two!

[@justme-uw6bz]

Good luck Clover, oh my goodness I was stressed watching that 🤭🥴

[@VenisonforDinner]

Tell me about it!

[@farmerswife95]

Why do you have to dip the chicks beaks? We just got baby turkeys yesterday

[@shellyhiggins3618]

It's so they know where the water is ;)

[@TEXASdaughter]

Would pregnancy be what caused milk fever?

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

I watched a video in the past and you recommended clothes pins. I bought them and was surprised how wonderful they where expensive but worth the money I want to reorder and cant find the name. HELP

[@VenisonforDinner]

Aren't they just the best! (and yes expensive but I think they will outlast wooden by many years. My mom's been using the same set for over 13 years!) They are from Lee Valley.

[@trishapomeroy9251]

Excellent catch on the grass tetany! I know this is an old video, but hopefully she recovered completely.

[@VenisonforDinner]

she did! I worried she would not thrive next lactation but she has! Because shes a1/a1 and our youngest has a milk sensitivey, she is now our neighbours cow and they love her.

[@trishapomeroy9251]

@@VenisonforDinner That is wonderful news! Thank you for the update 🙂

[@diananore1368]

Sitting here watching this the day after left thumb trigger tendon release surgery. Had to do it after 3 steroid injections with symptom return related from milking. 😝So ready to get back to milking

[@VenisonforDinner]

I hope your thumb heals quickly!

[@allegra1236]

Oooh! Hope Clover moo cow is ok🙏🏻

[@aessidhe6304]

Very end of the video…. my 15yo son is watching with me (he does when Marius is in the vids) and said, “was that a belch? Wow! That was a quality belch. Very impressive. I totally applaud.”

[@VenisonforDinner]

Hahaha. Marius will be happy to hear someone appreciates it.

[@TheInquisitiveFarmwife]

I made a Manchego last fall with goats milk. It’s good, but did take on a goat flavor.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Did you just get used to the goat flavour?

[@TheInquisitiveFarmwife]

@@VenisonforDinner not really… just MUCH smaller bites! Now the Goat Milk Cheddar was delicious!!!

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

Help! I can't find the clothes pins!😂 I bought some look alikes on Amazon, and they did hold the clothes. I know you gave the name of the company that makes them. I live in the USA. Please help if you can. I know you are busy

[@VenisonforDinner]

Lee Valley is the company I got the clothes pegs from. They are superb!

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

Thanks 😊 I'm so happy not to have to be picking up laundry off the grass! It was extremely windy and the towels and jeans stayed put! ❤ Thank You Thank You Thank You!❤❤❤

[@stephencameron1709]

I never knew so many things could go wrong with dairy cows! 🤦‍♀️🙏🙏 Val C

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh gosh it’s never ending it seems!

[@tammiemeadows5278]

Omg poor clover! I’m not sure who was more uncomfortable with that-her or us 😱 Not gonna lie this video was hard all the way through. Had to fast forward on the sow part. 🥴. Y’all are tough cookies. 🤗

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow and you use a close line Like me Don't see that much I even used a old Knucklebuster salmon real in the house just cut a old fishing rod flattered out the ends and screwed in to the walls over the wood stove and used it on rainy days in summer I put small rope on the fishing real

[@amandayeates185]

Did any of your other cows get grass tetany?

[@VenisonforDinner]

No thankfully!

[@Ms.Byrd68]

So then the Sow was protecting her 'piglets' right? Is the cow, perhaps, sick and that's it's acting strange?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes, the sow was protecting her piglets.

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow how did you get away with showing the gut pile every 1 else always say they can't show that because they will get crap from KZbin Good job Girl way to feed Your Girls I feed my Children's & Turkeys Rabbit guts Yummy
