It looks like we are through the scours and on the road to recovery. In case of emergency or if one of us gets sick, Randy's boys would pitch in and keep the wood at the heater. If by some wild chance we got snow that lasted for more than a day, we know where the wood is to go get it. The trees are down on the farm, it's just a matter of cutting them up and toting them back. With the cold snap this week, we are about a week or so ahead. Thanks for the recipe, Marci. It looks like we are through the scours and on the road to recovery.

It usually gets the scours cleaned up within a day or two. Sounds like the calf market there is as bad as the one here. A new bull calf we used to sell for $50 - $100 is now given away, or $5 if we are lucky! Good luck on the homestead. And I hope you find a way to get an "emergency stash" of firewood ahead. One bad sickness or blizzard for a couple days and it would be the pits trying to keep warm for long. For me,(primary wood heat also) having the firewood in the shed before winter is more important than money in the bank :) Best wishes!
