More palm munchers

We talked about palm-eating beetles recently.
Well, here are my newest palm-munchers, born this morning.

I sent nine goats to the butcher this year, but kept a buck and four does. The oldest give birth this morning. It was only 24 oF but I moved a 250 w heat lamp from the hens to the kids before the sun came up.

I know you like to grill and smoke meat.
Any chance you want to trade palm-fed cabrito for potted palms?

Wife loves lamb,I'm not a big fan of it myself,but then I never smoked any,so sure!!!!
I'm game for anything!

It tastes like a mild lamb.
Wife thinks it is too mild for her, but smoked over pecan like we did this weekend it is delicious.
We have it in Camellia, Hibiscus, Phoenix and Rhapidophyllum flavours...they all beat Zea-fed beef!

Go ahead and friend us, but be prepared for lots of horse and helicopter stuff.

We're already friends there with Mike (sidpook) and we chat sometimes when bad weather is looming.

Thanks just sent a request!

Done!
If there is enough interest, we could do a PN group page on FB. Not to compete with the open-web palmsnorth, but for more personal stuff like baby goats that the WWW doesn't care about.

Say that sounds good to me,say have you heard about all the birds and fish dyeing in Arkansas?

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:47 am

Yes, but I don't know anything beyond what I've read in the media. I'll ask the ornithologist and icthyologist I work with in a few days.

Well fox news just reported that they it was a bacteria just killing the drum fish.
And the birds were spooked from fireworks the other nite and just started flying into things,because they don't normally fly at night and just were confused and starting flying into things,sounds a little fishy to me!!!!

The ornithologist I know is from near there. I think I'll wait to ask her.

Yep I think it is best,and not to jump to any conclusions too soon!

baby goats that the WWW doesn't care about.

Erik, that's what off-topic is for

They are adorable, bet the hens are ticked off.

Hope you guys post the results of birds and fish dying, didn't hit our news.
Sounds awful.
