Important!! Barncast 85 is a user call in show, call the farm phone with questions, comments at 206-202-GOAT or else it’ll be a boring show!

This weeks show is done late in the barn, most of the animals are asleep so it’s not the roar cacophony you’re used to. It’s rather long since we spend a long time going over the farm phone calls, so hopefully that will answer your questions that have come up about recent shows. In the show this week:

• Call the farm phone for show 85!
• Farm Phone:
• Coops and point of lay chickens
• Poults?
• Dehydrator styles and advantages
• Round Up: All things normal for FALL!
• Farm Section: Feta Walk through

Feta pictures for the work though.

There is a video extra, and it will be posted latter today. (monday)

Recipe is given in the full post. (click on the more link)

• Ellen calls the farm phone line with an on the spot report
