When Will My Cows Calve?

[@phatpigeonii]

Gluten Free baking is a completely different animal from wheat-based. It's actually pretty easy to make good cookies, brownies, and even cakes, but crackers are hard and bread is super hard. Fortunately, I recently learned that my problem was never wheat (I'm not Celiac but had IBF when I ate wheat products), the problem is (most) AMERICAN wheat. Most wheat in the US is treated with glyphosate before harvest to dry it out, and then the flour is brominated as a pesticidal measure. These processes are what gives me trouble. I can eat organic wheat and even King Arthur brand with no problems. The crap added to "enriched" flour doesn't help - 49% of humans cannot metabolize folic acid, yet we add it to almost all our wheat. If you are having gut problems from bread, I suggest first switching to organic/King Arthur flour, see if that fixes it.

[@deed5811]

I found adzuki bean gluten free crackers that are really good. Boulder Canyon is the brand. I haven't needed gluten free, it was the adzuki beans in them that made me curious.

[@bkm2797]

I was thinking gmo flour instead of what we had before they started messing around may also have something to do with tolerance, but what you are sharing definitely sounds like a culprit. Luckily I'm fine, but it's sad how many aren't. Thanks for the share.👍

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

This sounds odd to me: glyphosate is a weed killer. There's a lot of debate about how hazardous it is to humans, and in what quantities. But I never heard about "drying out" wheat using glyphosate. A reference to that exact thing would be welcome, as would the allegation about folic acid.

[@deed5811]

@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 I dont think they deliberately add it to flour. I think the residue remains from using it on wheat crops to kill weeds.

Funny to see how much the dogs loved the naan. I’ve never seen Toby excited to eat anything and he asked for seconds!

[@CaribouOrange]

eh, that's not wrong

[@saraschneider6781]

The fact that he even let Abby beg warmed my heart… now I'm all for obedience in your dogs whether they are working or not, but sometimes you just gotta let them be squirrely.

[@kc4941]

Abby spreading the hay and making a nest on cue is the cutest!

[@patcolvin3677]

Place your rat traps along the perimeter of the fence and building. Rats are pretty blind and follow the lines of walls rarely going out in the open. Love all ur stuff!!!

I think he should just get a terrier and teach it to do some ratting

[@mrs.brunke443]

@@seanmcelroy6222 I was thinking the same. Cats are good for a lot of rodents but rats, not so much. Somehow we had a rat that got into our house and our cat, a mighty little hunter usually, just gave me a look that said, "Not my problem, boss. Get a dog!" A Jack Russell would do Morgan just fine in the rat department.

[@debbiewhite3601]

Both of my dogs, Rio the blue heeler and Yogi the griffin pointer x, hunt and kill rats. I think Toby and Abby most likely would too if they had access to the weird chicken's yard.

[@Fatimasroots]

Wow guys I never knew cats didn’t take care of rats?! Oh goodness

[@sharonknorr1106]

So happy to see Baby B becoming friendly again. It was weird to see her so skittish after she was so cuddly right after birth, but I guess at that time she just really couldn't comprehend what was going on and just went with the flow for a short time, then became kind of a normal new calf who just wanted to be with mom and the rest of the herd. You are so patient and kind with your animals and I think it will be well worth it in the long run as far as being able to handle them when you really need to without a lot of drama.

[@cynthiamangosingkilic822]

Omg sooo cute, she helps u spread the hay, then makes her own Abby Nest!!!❤😂😂

[@ECole-le7we]

Love, love, love the Abby nest! Also noticed how much she's grown compared to when she first came to the farm.

[@bkm2797]

That was too cute watching her gently spread it out just enough to make a nest for her,lol, too cute.

The incubator room is finished, and now we can get back to the fun stuff 🤗

[@tlind7299]

I really like your videos. They're so peaceful and entertaining. Can't wait for the calves being born! Baby B is cute, but you can never have enough calf-cuteness! I just love seeing "broken" Abby, it's such a trusting and lovable gesture 😍

[@onacona]

Calving season is here! Looking forward to seeing all the babies in the next few months. I still can't believe the price of highland calves right now. My local auction starts back up next weekend for Easter and there's usually a handful of calves for sale. Kinda scared to see how much they'll go for at auction price. It's usually cheaper, but with the way things have been going it wouldn't surprise me if they went in the thousands.

[@patriciaposthumus6684]

Rats and mice have a sweet tooth. Smear Nutella on the traps, and you will catch them really quick. I had a mice problem in my last house because we were close to the freeway. The exterminator told us to put the Nutella on the traps, and I kid you not within like the first 10 min of laying the traps they we snapping. On one of my traps, there were 3 dead mice. Of course, since it is chocolate, keep it away from the dogs, but overnight, you should catch them PDQ.

[@cat_mintfur513]

Idk what he uses as a bait. but my family was catching rodents with rye bread covered in seed oil. It was smelling very tasty for mice, I guess

Hey Morgan, sorry you have rats that's never a good thing. I've heard they love peanut butter so you might want to set the traps with some. The cows are looking like they are more than ready for Spring, please don't forget to video them like you did last year on the initial release, that was entertaining. Never knew cows would literally kick up their heals with excitement for some fresh green grass. Thanks for taking us along, allis well at Gold Shaw Farm.🦆🐄🐕🐓👍❤️

One of the reasons rats are so much smarter than other rodents is because they are predators as well as prey. They will totally hunt your chicks!

Rats can be very tough fighters, so most cats would rather not deal with them. Some rats are almost as big as cats. I was blown away of the size of a packrat.

Hi Morgan! Big fan from Perú ❤ big hugs to your lovely guardian dogs. I've seen special feeders for chickens where they get access to the feed when they put their feet/weight on some sort of pedal or platform, the birds learn to use it really fast and it could help you with that chore. Mice won't be able to get to the food 😊. It could be installed inside the hoop hoop :)

People also ask Does diatomaceous earth keep rats away? Diatomaceous earth, or DE, is a well-known rodent deterrent. Make sure to get the food-grade kind, as it's safe for humans and animals. Like most of these chemical-free pest solutions, diatomaceous earth won't kill rodents, but it will deter them from sticking around.Aug

[@carolwiese6825]

I didn't know that it deters rodents. I use it for insects because the DE breaks down insect shells so it's good for around well and HVAC.

Look for a tapioca based recipe for gluten free Naan. I've had some before, and it was good. I can't have gluten either.

[@depleteduraniumcowboy3516]

Oh, I also cannot eat gluten and naan is one of the things I still crave, it is so sweet you are trying to make for Allison. Gluten free baking is hard in general. It takes a lot of practice. In my experience if you are shooting for gluten free cake, you get gluten free brownies and if you're trying for gluten free brownies you get gluten free fudge. However, it can be done. It does take a lot of skill through. The animals love it either way so I hope you keep trying.

Sorry about the rat issues! Here's an easy way to deal with it and leave it out around your chickens: get a tupperware container, fill it with equal parts sugar, flour and baking soda with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Rats and mice cannot fart-- the baking soda will expand inside them and they will explode. Ok, maybe not actually explode but you get it. It's also perfectly safe around chickens (who do fart apparently!), cats, dogs, and other farm livestock. Just not mice and rats
