GM nostriches! The wife wanted a smoker for early Christmas present, so I didn’t stack sats as well as usual… BUT, so good getting smoked meat at home now. Quality of Life! #grownostr #foodstr

Starting to come together! Not sure if I’ll have any time tomorrow to get anything done…

With magic earth, do you have to plan a route before navigating, or do you give it location permission while driving? Not sure how that works.

Those of you who use graphene os on a phone, what do you use for a maps app? I've looked at osmand and organic maps, they seem kinda klunky on first impression. I guess i could just use Waze on another profile. Any suggestions? #graphene #maps

Good morning all y’all! It is cold out this morning! Right now it’s 22°F/-5.6°C on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA! Allergy shots, fill Dad’s propane, and errands will take up most of this day!

Looks amazing!

You've been busy!

First year raising Artisan Gold turkeys. Sold 12, kept 4 for our freezer and pardoned 5 to start our own flock.

Was a very tasty addition to the table this Thanksgiving.

Don't cut on account of being pastured. Only if you experience mortality that you think is related to growing too fast. Signs of that would mostly be pale combs/wattles, no longer able to stand/walk, etc.

We typically feed out about 18 pounds per bird when processing at 8.5 weeks. We weigh out feed every day starting around day 3-5. We grabbed a Cornish feed chart online based on age but cut that about 10% for pastured chickens (reduced mortality from otherwise growing too fast). Our weights are similar to what you referenced. Typically the second batch of the year processed in July is our best feed to weight gain ratio due to most favorable weather. Ensuring they have soil and or grit helps improve feed efficiency as well.

Still sober after all these years. Gonna be a tough week for many of us. Keep the plug in the jug and you got this. #recovery
