After emailing a bit with some folks I realized I needed to do better with this topic so I’ve revisited and am doing deeper dive into electric fencing and training your hogs to respect it.

Going to pare (is that the correct spelling for that word in this context?) down to one episode per week. Listen to hear why.

Sometimes there’s hard, smelt or dirty jobs to be done on any homestead, that’s a blessing, just of a different type! Listen in and I’ll explain how and why. If you have suggestions or are a Mike Rowe’s agent and he wants to directors the finer points of scooping out a stall, please email [email protected] and we will talk it over!

Thank you!

Here’s another ramble by me, it’s swine time! I talk about the tires of hogs I have here and why, and I discuss some equipment and things to have before you bring any pigs home. This podcast is recorded in one take, so there are pauses as I catch my train of thought, I recommend listening at at least 1.5 speed, after all, I’m a rancher (homesteader, whatever) not an auctioneer!

This evening I discuss how to choose the breed of chickens according to their purpose on your homestead. I also discos general things you need before you get your chicks on the property. One thing I forgot is you WILL need a brooder of some kind.

Disclaimer right up front: I am NOT a veterinarian, not a doctor, nor do I play either on tv. I call a vet to make certain I am doing the best thing I can for the animals entrusted to me. In this episode I discuss what I have on hand directly at all times and am always glad to add other things if recommend by a person competent in animal care. If you have suggestions or are a veterinarian who would like to provide your insight, please email [email protected] and we will talk it over!

This evening I walk through some of the chores as I’m doing them and speak about some of the infrastructure I have in place to limit the amount of time it takes to get some daily things done. As always I appreciate you spending the time with me as I do my chores. Hopefully you can get something from it. Please visit www.adobeowlranch.com or append adobeowlranch to Facebook or Instagram. Thank you! Noah

My plan for animals on the place changed, now I use electric fence whenever I can. I explain how to install it for best effect, what to get or avoid, and how to train your animals to it. I apologize for the background noise, going to have to figure out a better microphone for this I think!

In this pilot episode I go over the idea behind the podcast and the location where my small homestead is located.
