Re: Cleaning Cast Iron Cookware

Hope Casey — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 00:07:17 -0000

I love that you are showing how to take care of cast iron cookware. I know growing up my grandma only used cast iron and the way she would clean it was she would put a little water in the pan and then put it on the stove and let it come to a boil. The hot water would remove everything and then she would rinse it off and dry it right away and put it up. She still has the cast iron that her grandma used. Hoefully I will inheirt it one day to add ot my collection. Also great video, I am learning a lot about homesteading. This is something my fmaily want to do within the next few years.

Becky, I loved your coffee cake--delicious!!! I have been homesteading since 09/15/2011 when I began living in Rosharon, TX--just outside of Houston. I'm loving it and you are my inspiration. I can't wait to see what more you will share with us.

Becky thanks for the video and showing us just what to buy from the store. I found that very helpful.

But the dogs licking the bowl was over the top!

When I was little my dad used to let us walk all over his back to give him a massage. This looks like fun (except for the poo) haha.

Re: Visiting A Goat Farm to Pick Out A Baby Goat

Lindarios77 — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:50:13 -0000

Hi Becky,
We have dairy goats and this is how we handle milking. I let my two does raise their babies until the babies are 10 to 12 weeks old, Then I pull the babies and put them in a seperate pen. I milk the does once a day - getting between 3/4 and 2 gallons of milk, depending on how far into the lactaion period we are. This works really well for our busy schedule. One year I did not have a buck so we milked our does for 26 months without rebreeding.

Hi, sounds so nice. I know how you feel, I LOVE the country life. I must say though that having my mini pig Neal just for pleasure is a purpose, it's pleasure!!! and so much of it!

Re: Escape The Rat Race And Start Your New Life

Vee — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:58:24 -0000

It is a process & a process of learning ~ Me, my husband and the last of the kids, 2 still home, (2 married gone), moved to the country few years ago. We have a small homestead, and never can imagine ever moving back near town/city again. You stay constantly working on it, but, you never get bored, especially with all the animals. One thing though, the way we approach it ~ started out with 1 breed of animal at a time and got them established before going to next breed =cats-fixed(mousers), goats(kids-sell & milk & backpackers) , sheep(lambs-sell, wool & meat), chickens(eggs & meat), donkey(livestock guardian & cart), dog(family guardian). We have no animals that do not have a job/purpose. Then we started a small garden, and widen/added to it each year, then preserving food later. Just need patience, and a strong desire to live simple and reasonable. We love it!

Thanks. Everyone always ask's how much did it cost? my response is that I'm going for quality not the cheapest meat I can buy. I love good homegrown organic meat and all food for that matter. YUM!!

Hi Becky,

Here's a link that sorts out the cost of raising your own pigs for meat. Hope you like it, I found it really interesting and informative. There were some handy graphs and calculations.
