Barncast 72 — Using your Lawn as Pasture

2007/06/24 in Animal Feed, Computers, Fencing, Pasture, Podcast by andrew | 16 comments

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:

  • Rain update
  • Farm Phone 206-202-GOAT
  • Linda from chicago, all about strawberries and garlic
  • Geek Section: New Laptop
  • Round up: Quick round up
  • Farm Section: Electronet fencing after one year

    Yay! We made it to the double digits. This weeks show is way way too long. We’re just trying to cram too much stuff in. Not only were we tired recording it, but it was much too long to edit. Even if there wasn’t much editing. =) Expect next weeks show to be back to 30mins.

    In this weeks barncast we cover:

    • Taxes due!!
    • Wedding anniversary, sort of.
    • Failed cookout recording
    • New poll software
    • Spinning Cotton
    • Our front lawn as a pasture
    • Animal vaccinations and hoof trimming. CD&T == Tetanus
    • Still waiting on one sheep
    • Lamb name revealed!
    • Focus on Ducks. Storey’s book.
    • We answer the Hoosier Geeks, why did we leave the city?
    • Podcast of the week: Fibercast
    • Crazy Cuisine: Making sausage
