Browing sweat

There's no two ways about it, making deerskins into buckskins is muy dificil. I'm looking forward to hunting season when I can get a new supply of deer hides. Having only done one, I think I've got all the bugs worked out, especially my naivety about how much work is involved. All I need is two or three more hides to make some sort of hunting jacket. Now the only thing left to do is smoke this hide, and wait for the others.

Cash flow and Profitability

I finally found a good chart that details a cow's cash flow. Many farmers percieve this and instincly know that a first calf heifer has only just paid for her upbringing. Notice that breakeven doesn't occur until about 32 months of age(provided that she mirrors the lactation cycles of this chart). In any dairy herd the mature herdmates actually generate a profit, whereas younger animals only provide cash flow.
