Follow up to my video yesterday about the NYC Law Department employee (not actually) "fired for posing as a reporter." No news outlet I found gave ANY detail clarifying what the government's allegations were about how this woman actually "posed as a reporter." Shockingly they never wrote me back.
Northwest Florida feels so much like eastern Washington today. We have multiple wildfires in the area and a red flag warning. The sun is so hazy and orange just like I remember on those late summer days when we lived north of Spokane. The air quality is poor and it smells like campfire. I had a friend tell me she sold off part of her beef herd early because the drought has made it unaffordable to keep feeding cows as the grass isn’t growing. There is no immediate danger to us, though the conditions make it risky for anyone who lives in a rural area.
One of our year-old Nigerian dwarf does got her head stuck in the fence and I had to help free her. She’s small enough to get her head through but the horns catch the fencing when she tries to walk away. This has happened enough to me that I will be removing horns when goats are born. The other option is re-fencing our entire property which costs way too much money. It can be quite serious when a goat gets their head stuck in a fence during Florida summers. A friend came home one day to find a dead goat like this. If you’re in this situation, turn their head sideways and even their body if you have to do so - then push their head back. They don’t like it but it’s better than death. If you need more strength to rescue goats, don’t forget to ditch that generic fish oil for one that actually has value - the fermented cod liver/butter at Green Pasture!

Whenever we get new chicks, we have to go through a two week “coop introduction” period when they are about eight weeks old and ready to leave the brooder for the Big House. We keep them in a wired dog kennel so they can meet the bigger chickens safely without getting pecked to death. But because we have a mobile coop, we have to take the kennel out every morning to move the coop and then put it back in. This is much more challenging than it may seem. Not just physically, but mentally, as the chicks often escape. So far though, this method has worked very well for us, and after a couple weeks, the flock appears to be relatively integrated. I just try not to go on any vacations during this time so the farm sitter does not hate me. It’s all worth it for the healthy eggs! And speaking of healthy, make this weekend a time you ditch your run-of-the-mill fish oil and invest in a cod liver oil mixed with high vitamin D butter oil that’s actually worth the money. I used to get cavities...
Americans will be screaming about this in about 2028. After it's done, and when it can be played up in someone's political campaign.
