Breezy Hill Update 8110
- Lila has been replaced with Goldie. Hopefully, this will solve the milk situation. I will know by Thursday. Her production will dip somewhat with grass only. She is a Guernsey and hopefully she is A2. I will send some tail hairs in for the test.
- Here are some prices from Nature's Pantry. Wheat is $.99/#; ours is $.80. White whole wheat flour is $8.99 for 5 lbs. I am sure glad we have a stone grinder. I also know exactly where my wheat came from.
- A whole fryer is $5.90/# for a 3.25# bird. We are selling ours for $3.00
- Now for the beef prices. Ground beef is $7.19/#; ours is $3.75. A rib-eye steak is , get this, $18.39/#. Makes our beef at $3.10/# hangin weght sound pretty good. They have sides by Harmony Farms for $5.99/# hanging weight.
- Fi-Di Bus or Wolfgang is a good stone mill for grinding your wheat.
- We have an upright freezer for sale for $175.00. Here's your chance for a good freezer for your split half of beef.
- We hatched out 16 guineas about a week ago. They are doing well.
- The garden is producing big time. Debra is making pickles tonight. She canned peach jam and pickled peaches and froze green beans yesterday. Tomatoes, squash, egg plant, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers, blackberries and garlic are ready. It is a busy time getting food put by for this winter.
If you still believe in “science based evidence” , then read this and make sure to read Dr. Mercola’s comments. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/29/jeffrey-smith-interview-specter-rebuttal.aspx
It may be time for all to see the movie DIRT. It is an excellent movie. Perhaps your library has it. We got it when it was released. It should be mandatory viewing in our “education” system. http://www.naturalnews.com/029176_topsoil_food_production.html
Minnesota is in a fight against raw milk. Here is a rebuttal to an editorial. Dr. Winter did an excellent job. Read it for yourself. http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/Counterpoint-Tribune-Raw-Milk-Editorial-Winter.htm
Just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the meat. Had burgers the other night, and my kids wanted more. Tonight we grilled some sirloin and they were tender and tasty. Thank you so much, we really appreciate hard work and dedication.

What a waste of our tax dollars. http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_19665.cfm
Sure is nice to know that raw milk is high in Vit K and Vit D. Eat some good cheese. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/17/cees-vermeer-interview.aspx
that's it from the hill. Art and Debra
