Hey, Hey BJ! Sharing is caring! I did upcycle a fresh roadkill this year. Tonight is venison stoop. But, sausage sounds good!
bjrogg:
Yes it’s a symbiotic relationship Ben. I like it.
I spread clover cover crop seed on some wheat ground earlier this week. Went really good. We use our Gator and we can put our GPS system in it. It doesn’t steer but it tells us where to steer and make a coverage map showing where we already spread. Also counts acres which is very nice for calculating seeds per acre. We try for about 9 lbs of seed per acre. We can adjust the opening of the holes and or the mph we drive to get on the correct rate.

Yesterday the ground froze up good enough to drive tractor and manure spreader on again.
I helped my son sort out a load of fat cattle to go to the sale barn. He stayed at the sale and tried to buy some feeders to bring back home. He got four but they were very expensive. it was a long day for him.

While he was gone I spread some off his manure storage pile. He really appreciated that as it was getting full and you only have so many opportunities to spread this time of year. I didn’t get it empty but I put a pretty good dent in it.

My summer sausage has been aging in my fridge for about a week. I did some rearranging in my freezers and had enough room to vacuum pack it and deep freeze it.
I cut two of the big sticks into thirds.
Then I put 2 thirds in one vacuum bag. Makes good use of the vacuum bags and about the right amount to get out of freezer at a time.
Stack nice to.
Have our big freezer in basement packed full to
Should be in good shape until next year. Want to make some pork breakfast sausage yet but I need some more freezer space first.
