Tell a funny story about something that happened at the store or talking to a friend or share your my gosh, can't believe I read that or well this was a bit of a breath of fresh air in my day..]]> Women Preppers farmgal https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/one-day-at-a-time/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/covid-19-and-all-the-related-goings-on/ Thu, 27 Feb 2020 09:05:05 +0000
To say I had a personal rough year last year would be a understatement and so I have been offline for a good while.. but I thought I had better come on over and have a look at how things are going.

So I am going to put up two different posts and I promise to come by on a more regular base to check in.

Covid 19 is getting more and more numbers across the globe daily as we speak.. but as most of us know, its not just that we need to worry about the virus itself.. its the effects felt in a combo of soft ripples and strong shockwaves that are going to effect our daily lives and our country that is front and center at the moment.

So are you checking your preps and finding weak spots and adding extra's to your stock?]]> Women Preppers farmgal https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/covid-19-and-all-the-related-goings-on/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/weather-events-check-in/ Wed, 16 May 2018 09:02:49 +0000
Anyone effected right now? Anyone watching with concern..

I had massive limbs come down in the last ice storm.. and had at least a couple thousand dollars worth of damage done to my big barn in the last big wind storm.. plus four days worth of power outage on the middle storm between them.. Still in clean up mode.. still in temp repair and hold mode while figuring out things..]]> Women Preppers farmgal https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/weather-events-check-in/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/new-grandbaby/ Fri, 13 Apr 2018 17:13:59 +0000 A new generation..... :D]]> Women Preppers PrepHer https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/new-grandbaby/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/2018-this-and-that-round-table/ Mon, 25 Dec 2017 14:41:50 +0000
so anyone got any ideas, goals or such for the coming year?

I have to admit that I both do and don't.. and by that I mean, I do have goals but they are in line and more of the same.. I have been contracted again this year to grow heritage seed again (fourth year now) and very much enjoy the yearly training sessons given on proper seed growing and saving.. so much more to it then most people realize.

I have brought in a high quality insanely costly british milking sheep ram to improve the milk production in my sheep flock, I continue to breed two rare breed chicken lines and work with a larger then normal breeding line numbers for my meat rabbits

I have been asked to do a number of speaking engagements already for this coming year, we will see how many I am going to say yes to, one is in the states and on is one the east coast the rest are local with a few hours of the farm.

We continue to have settling in happening with our new multi-generational home, my mom moved in with us from alberta and it is very fair to say that we have had growing pains

I am struggling on what I want my extra time focus to be on this year, do I want it on farm.. partly off farm.. where do I put my give back time this year?

How about you ladies?

how come with small livestock, I get a better return rate with home butcher then sent

with lamb I get a better return rate

but as soon as its big stock, sheep, they get better

pigs same, smaller pig I get better, bigger pig, they get better

I sent marty to butcher in 2013 an I home butchered Bullwinkle this week, taped out with 30 pounds of each other, and yet.. 60 pounds difference in butcher out weight.. butcher 410 me 350 give or take plus dog food scrapes.

Where did I lose the 60 pounds from.. both yearlings were between 650 to 700 pounds, so I am not snarking about percents back, and I still came in under three dollars a pound, just in grow out costs.. but still

ok, ladies who butcher??? why!]]> Women Preppers farmgal https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/hmmm-cranky/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/women-preppers/tv-series-handmaids-tale/ Mon, 05 Jun 2017 10:55:39 +0000
