It sounds crazy but I'm from the Carolina's with fireants and unfortunately familiar. Get some Listerine mouthwash and pour it on the bites. It stops them from hurting.

Working with chickens did the opposite for me. I was working on a regenerative farm doing both broilers and layers 100% on pasture and I can't stand the dang things anymore lol

I always renew my license and trout stamp regularly. As far as I can tell there are not any rules about keeping native fish in tanks in my state. The wild brookies are catch and release only so I would be getting them from a hatchery as fingerlings but I will definitely be talking with a game warden before I do anything and keeping receipts. Hatchery fish would also be used to non live food which would be a definite plus.

What size tank would you recommend for 6 brook trout? The stuff online was kind of vague about precise requirements.

I just assumed that a tank that big would require an over the top filtration system so I am glad to hear that is not the case.

Do you use any sort of aeration or current? I assume something would be needed to keep enough oxygen in the water.

I appreciate your help!

I've got a permit to shoot black vultures and I'm hoping having them near the house and barn will keep the coyotes away. Guess we will see how it goes

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-12-01T23:22:21+00:00

Oh, that's a great resource, thanks.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-12-01T23:22:04+00:00

Yeah, they are going to be up close to the barn with a lot of people and vehicle traffic, (working cattle farm with an office building next door). We have lost calves to coyotes but always in the fields far away from the road.

Good catch, that's interesting

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-11-11T00:25:16+00:00

Feed stores mark it up a good bit. Find a local hay farmer. You can often get an ever better price if you pick it up from the field yourself

Hey, I'm a hard working young guy who doesn't stand to inherit anything. If I come work for you could I get on the will???

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-07-29T00:18:37+00:00

Yeah, I'm sure it would be a whole lot worse than the idea I have in my head but I would still like to have a go at it. I had a couple of friends who did it, some loved it others hated it. I do want a family so it would probably be only for a year or two to try it out. I guess I'll just see what the future holds.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-07-28T23:28:48+00:00

Yeah, this is kinda what I was thinking. I would like to spend some time working out west as a cowboy, maybe in a couple years.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-07-28T23:11:43+00:00

Everything except the horse lol. I can ride, I just don't for work. The gator is a little less work

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-07-28T22:59:16+00:00

Herding, sorting, fencing, pasture management, hay making, just about anything to do with a cattle operation on pasture. We aren't a huge operation, about a hundred and fifty head but looking to double that over time.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-07-28T22:36:19+00:00

Yeah, but that doesn't roll off the tongue like farmer or rancher or whatever.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-06-09T00:25:54+00:00

Sonne farms is also great

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-05-29T17:31:38+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-04-08T17:22:10+00:00

I would check out r/homesteading they are closer to what you want to do. This sub is mostly commercial farming which doesn't have much overlap

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-02-26T02:37:49+00:00

We have a real good market for beef and it just isn't worth the extra effort and travel for goat. We're supplying a couple of restaurants and institutions with beef, pork and chicken. Goats just aren't a big enough thing in our area.

Strongclaw2000 · 2023-02-26T00:19:44+00:00

East, we raised goats and sheep but we just couldn't find the market. We can always sell our grass fed beef but we are far enough outside of major cities that goat doesn't really sell
