We are a young family trying to learn all we can about growing and raising our own food, as well as canning to become more self sufficient. I purchased the land I was raised on (a little over 5 acres) with the house, a decent sized pole barn and small out building being all the infrastructure built. As well as all of it being wooded land. With that being said there is a lot to do and we are very excited in our journey. We will be posting a lot of videos on our building projects and everything we have going on here on the homestead and invite you to join us along the way!
If you would like to give your support we would greatly appreciate a follow!
Really nice hutch! Great home for your rabbits. It’s hard to tell from the video but it looks like the bottom cage wire is on wrong. The smaller dimension wires 1/2” should be on top. 1/2” should be what their feet touch and not the 1”. They can get sore hocks.
How bad is culling? Im 16 have a red rex buck i show through 4H, ive been vegetarian since 13 but open to eating stuff i raise, found the perfect doe and im thinking of buying her and selling the show qualities and then processing the culls
It’s not terrible I use the broom stick method anything that makes it fast, painless, and clean is good. You might not like it at first but do it a few times and you will get used to it. Just stick to knowing that the process is letting you and your family eat something that you know is healthy and had a good life! Nothing you can do for yourself is better than anything in the store!
@@elderacres I definitely weigh but I keep back like 3 so they have competition over food causes them to eat more (in my belief) lol and sell or process the other 2 around 20 weeks after I decided my keeper
Welcome back to the worm farming community! Steve from the channel Our Sustainable Journey uses those repurposed containers for worms too. I have four inground worm buckets as well as totes. New subscriber! ~ Sandra
Yes 😂😂 after I’m done I’ll be like dang didn’t even get scratched then an hour later my daughter will be like how’d you get a boo boo daddy and I look down to my hands and arms covered. Like how 😂😂
Nice video. We have a similar creek crossing. Our creek goes from bone dry to 8 feet deep during heavy rains. I widened the channel as you have to slow the current down. Having said that with the amount of water born debris evident in your video it will continue to work its magic and want to clog things up. Additionally depending on the velocity of the current it may tend to scour the creek bed along with the stone you put in. It looks like you have plenty of large stones there. You may consider having your contractor pull the 1-1/2 inch back and then dump a quantity of cement block size rocks in the creek bed and along the sides as riprap. He can imbed the larger rocks in the creek bed and then use the smaller stuff to fill in the voids to smooth out the crossing. Its how the romans did it.
That’s how ours is we are lucky if there’s even water 300 days out of the year. We might eventually put a couple 12 inch pipes and concrete over that but for now we are gonna keep it how it is. It has done great with almost an inch of rain. Very little water coming through and no rock has washed and my little neon still makes it haha
Yeah I have thought about it. My backup buck isn’t weighing in good at all. The only problem with that is I plan on keeping a doe out of this liter and I don’t ever want to worry about breeding litter mates.
Thank you! They have been working fantastic! I have had no tipped bowls with my doe and kits. I haven’t been able to make one yet for my buck, I need to tho because he needs one bad. But overall they work really well and a great solution because I love using the metal bowls!
@@elderacres Glad to hear! I love using bowls for moms & kits as well, but my rabbits are chronic bowl flippers. Seems like this those holders fix the issue. Looking forward to seeing Spot's litter, I have a Californian doe due around the same time. You have a great rabbitry!
I’m finally enjoying it as well I’ve had ups and downs over the last couple of years but daily chores with the rabbits are so fun and my daughter loves them! Now just to teach her as she grows up to appreciate them at the dinner table as well!
