This week we revisit an old topic, our portable electric fence. It’s been a little over a year since we started using it and I think we’ve learn a lot so we look at what mistakes we made and what worked well. We do a lot of review but if you’re new to show and want more about the fence check out some back episodes from last year when we talked about buying it and setting it up for the first time.
In this weeks show:

In this weeks show! Feed and more feed. We look at how to feed concentrates (grain) to your animals and humans. What forms to buy it, and how to mix your own. I’ll get the mixes online later tonight. All this thanks to a call from Caroline.
She also asked about milling your own wheat and corn meal at home. So we have a hearty discussion about grain mills, where to buy grain, and different types of wheat. If you thought all flour was equal then listen up, there’s something to learn in this section. The mill we have is still made! It’s just changed names, here’s a link to amazon. (no weird referal stuff)
Picture of the Week, Katelyn visits the goats:
