Sam & Bev discuss Bev’s goat additions and how dam and bottle raised babies compare, why it’s best to approach farm situations with caution if it’s something you haven’t dealt with hands on before, more of Sam’s egg hatching wisdom, duck hatching update, rabbit breeding and genetics, how difficult it is to keep boy goats, the chicken episode of Rotten, tips for saving for ethically raised meat and how to cut down meat consumption, farm kid stories, and how much they are looking forward to next week’s discussion about the milk episode of Rotten.

Bev tried to find a good YouTube video of how to properly help a chicken vomit. Every video was either ridiculously inhumane (vomiting a chicken that doesn't need it, or failed to give the chicken proper time to breath), or so amateur she couldn't tell if the info they gave was sound.
