I'm looking into potentially getting sheep to raise on my small acreage (4.5 acres fenced, but probably ~3 acres available to sheep. Can anyone recommend a book on sheep raising that would help me know what to do to raise sheep and also help me know what I am getting myself into and what infrastructure I need to have in place before getting the sheep?

I've tried to zap 3 times, Amethyst crashes immediately when I try to zap 🤷‍♂️

I’m always testing new methods to propagate plants. Doing two batches of elderberry cuttings. 1 in compost, 1 in sand/perlite. Both sitting in trays of water.

Not bad for a nearly half century old dude after a 10 hour work day.

Good morning nostr! Getting the smoker going for a dinner ham. #grownostr

Big, little or average?

Well that sounds a bit like a dodgy television show.

Not for me. I know it's healthy but, I'd rather hide it's disgusting flavor and taste in some highly seasoned ground sausage.

I'm starting to develop a zapping system.

First off, I don't ever use the global feed. On my personal feed their are people whose interactions I find valuable. I also follow a few hashtags to find more interesting people.

This way I can massage my experience the way I want it. No more obligatory "follows". We don't follow others, we walk side by side.

My personal feed and interactions tab are my Nostr experience and I really enjoy it.

As far as zapping, I zap posts that interest me. My default zap amount settled on 15 sats. Why? No idea.

This algorithm is completely subjective. The difference is I am the algo.

This is way too long. Some people are such elegant writers. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.

I had to get my Missouri license and registration for my truck today.

I'm not a fan at all of Missouri's draconian personal property tax laws.

If the State can seize my property If I don't pay continual taxes on it, then it's not really my property now is it?

My enacting such an onerous tax policy, Missouri has effectively abolished the right to own private property.

Ok, enough ranting. Now it's time to focus on making a pig pen and shelter.

I plan on putting my pigs in my pond that doesn't hold water. Hopefully they'll fix that for me.

#grownostr #aquaponics this is a U siphon. Using 1” pvc, it connects two tanks water together. Glue the pipe with pvc cement, place in both tanks, use the hose and place on one end. You will remove all air in the pipe, which will make it level the two different tanks water levels automatically.
