I met Amish farmer Amos Miller in person at Wise Traditions this weekend, though I have no proof because he says he can’t have his picture taken. Many of you remember him as the raw dairy farmer fighting government crackdowns on his co-op in Pennsylvania, with Robert Barnes as legal representation. The conference was all abuzz with the news that the hotel told Miller he could not sell his raw dairy products inside (at a conference in “free” Florida espousing raw milk benefits)! This forced parking lot deals in secrecy. What a crazy world!
Did you know that chickens love milk? Whenever our goats knock over a jar while we are milking them, we give the remainder to the chickens as a treat. They go crazy for it. It has a lot of protein, which gives them a boost for winter nutrition, and calcium, which is great for strengthening egg shells. Raw milk is also given to chickens at times to aid with gut disorders because of the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Plus, our chickens just love it! Anyone else do this?
Our hens decided to take holiday break starting around Halloween. So today I gave them a pep talk and let them know that they may have made it to Thanksgiving but free-loader soup is on the menu for Christmas.
I got a real chuckle out of this one. A sweet 4H teen agreed to help milk our goat while we visit my parents for Thanksgiving. I noticed right away we’d have a bit of a challenge, given the 2 inch long acrylic nails. She just had them done and said, “I haven’t had nails in 3 years!” Perfect timing. 🤣We tested them out. This is why I never have nice nails and had one person comment, “you look like you play hockey.”
This whole show is ridiculous. First a judge RIGHTFULLY told Donald John Trump to get troops off the streets in DC. Less than a week later a shooting odder than anything occurs. Now, it's back to the old blame immigrants, Arabs and Muslims game.
And by the way, Epstein didn't kill himself!!!
