I use that to make some bread, and I recommend you to try that out too. I was doubtful at first about the results, but the bread turned out to be great. I agree that it's a great alternative way of cooking that minimizes calories.

@Gordyg It may be cheaper to raise beef cattle because their diet is less complicated compared to dairy cattle. In that way, it could be the more profitable breed. It's no doubt that tending to a various breed of cattle will be financially challenging.

Raising cattle has its challenges when you have limited space available to place them. What's more, is that a single breed won't produce both the best milk and beef. Is raising dairy cows better than beef farming in general?

I love eating apple pie for a dessert, especially when it's mixed with cinnamon powder. I'm experimenting with the flavor that sometimes, I'd have cheese on the side if not, peanut butter.

I look forward to the ball games but more on the combat sports such as judo, and karate. It's interesting to watch a variety of sports and the number of participants joining only makes it more thrilling. The pandemic is still worrisome, however.

This is one way of reorganizing the hierarchy. The ringleader was probably so obvious that you were able to identify it well. It's a good thing you didn't confuse it with the others that were only following its aggression.

@RichZ I only have California white chickens, which I think isn't a very aggressive breed. I'm still figuring out what's causing the stress. @Digger I chose to observe their behavior, so I refrained from adding new chickens. I'll try changing their placement; perhaps their aggression has...

Having a disease within a flock is one thing, but handling aggressive chickens is really challenging. Nothing is going on, then the next thing you'll see, the flock is in chaos. I've tried isolating some of them, but it's not solving the problem. After one starts attacking, the others follow...

You can try growing some crops that can both be sold and used to feed the pigs. It can look costly at first, but it might be better in the long run. Another advantage here, instead of buying from the store, is knowing what goes inside your pig and their environment.

It wouldn't be reasonable to ban beef all of a sudden, especially since many fast foods rely on it. Don't you think it might be possible in the future? In case of a shortage, prices really would go up.

A water softener is actually harmful to plants because it dries them out. It would be better to use tap water from a gardening hose since it may have more nutrients to support plant growth.

That's nice. What kind of milk are you using as a replacement? It's worrisome that the calf can miss on some nutrients if he's being bottle-fed.
