    My butcher is fab, he gives me chicken carcasses, lamb breasts etc for free! Only trouble is I only have one dog and 3 ferts to feed so I can't take as much as he would like to get rid of. Also twice a year I have all the offal from my hoggs/lambs that I have slaughtered, and my dog won't touch meat from my sheep (weirdo?) If anyone wants to share (I'm not daft enough to say who my butcher is ) I'll gladly let you know when I'm knee deep in free dog food again? I'd like to take it of him once a week, but at the moment I can only get through it in a month! i wouldn't suggest relying

    HA! I was always warned I would end up in an assylum.... It's nice to be somewhere where i'm not spun a guilt trip for eating real food too, though I have done zero foraging today. unless a dead elm tree for the burner counts lol!

    hello all! One of my ram lambs decided he was going to turn into Mr Arsey and start butting everything in sight. He's not very big but he's nice and fat and I found a way to cure the aggression.... So now he's in the freezer, but I got my slaughterman to leave the carcass whole as I fancy trying out cooking a whole lamb outside. Any suggestions for the best way on doing this? in a pit of embers covered up? spit roast? If not I'll defrost the bugger and joint him up but I want to try something spectacular. Incidentally, if there is anyone around my area who want to SHOW me how, I'll gla

    You'll probably find it's because osteopathy is still lumped with all the other alternative therapies and therefor proclaimed to be BS by anyone who doesn't understand it. Doctors can really only provide meds or surgery, Vets are similar. To the uniformed the fact a fella can run his hands on a dog and make a few clicks and the dog is back on track is too much to believe. My sheepdog bitch who has since passed away was treated by an osteopath, as I have. Neither of us would have been walking if it wasn't for him. Also cynical me says that any treatment that doesn't require a 6 week long c

    Hello there! I have just joined here because I would like some trustable advice regarding my ferrets. I have 3 ferrets, 2 Jills and a Hobb. One of my Gills is a teeny little thing (micro? I am distrustful of new types and fancy names lol!) It is this weeny Gill Ginny that i am after advice. I live in a truck and used to have a hideous rat problem.... So i have been letting Ginny go down the rat holes and me, the dog and the 2 other ferrets dispatch anything that bolts out. Teabag the Hobb takes station under the chicken house, Ron takes care of the compost heap and Pilot the dog gets e
