I noticed recently that a box of MREs in our feed room has been untouched by rodents despite the ravenous way they chew through the animal feed containers. The MREs were issued to my husband when he was in the USMC. I have no clue why we still have them but it certainly caught my attention. Only the best for our service members, right? Semper fi!

EDIT: since I have been getting so many comments on other platforms that they just can’t smell through the packaging, I want to add that they eat through boxes in our barn that have no food inside them, this includes camping gear, Styrofoam, towels, fertilizer. You name it.

If you ate that stuff, or you’re just looking for a nutritional boost, grab the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ for gut repair. It has helped me with a lot, not the least of which has been going from chronic cavities to quick and easy dental exams. LINK IN BIO. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off!

A few months ago I put our buck Tod in with the ladies so he could breed our mini Nubian dairy goat, Sundae. However, as is typical for my plans, it didn’t go as I’d hoped and Tod spent most of his time fighting with our alpha doe, Heidi. Though I figured my baby goat aspirations had been thwarted, I think Tod still snuck in a goal with Sundae because she is looking pretty fat right now but he didn’t waste any time getting back to the boxing ring.

And in case you ever find yourself boxing with a miniature goat, they are pretty tenacious so best to build up your strength with sacred foods like the fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which healed my cavities 15 years ago. The omega-3 benefits reduce inflammation and give your bones a boost. Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off.

Today we went to meet a potential suitor for Maisy cow. He is a two-year-old mini Highland bull. His name is Moofasa. We have tried artificially inseminating Maisy with expensive and high quality mini Jersey bull semen but to no avail. Thus, we have been looking for the real deal and a friend introduced us to Moofasa’s owner. It looks like a good match but then again we are sort of at the “love the one you’re with” stage at this point. What do you think? Highlands are very “in” right now and I’m sure the calf will be very cute. Speaking of cute kids, one result of vitamin D deficiency in today’s kids is poor dental health including jaws that don’t properly fit a full set of teeth. This is one reason my kids take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which is packed with Vitamins A, D & K.

So, regardless of any differences I have with him. Dr. Marty Makary is about to be fired, per The WSJ. And a new Scamedic is on deck. You do the math...

You will not get this kind of on the ground investigative reporting from so-called artificial intelligence (AI).

This is similar to some degree across the nation. But generally the politicians are for it. Which proves "representation" is not representative.
