Beet pulp is not a new product and has been used for many, many years as a supplemental feed by farmers. It is a good source of fiber, energy and calories that can be fed to horses, goats, cattle and sheep. There is also a lot of misinformation about beet pulp.

Wonder if he’s thinking that life might be better on the other side of the fence? He became a free-range rooster after being picked on by those on the other side of the fence, but, that is where he grew up. I guess it’s still where he calls home. The animal “pecking order” can sometimes seem cruel. #chickens #farmanimals #animalhierarchy #hobbyfarm #peckingorder #backyardchickens Pekin Duck, Drawing Blood, Pecking Order, Nature Words, Beautiful Chickens, Hierarchy, Chickens Backyard, Hens

Cats really do see better at night. Their eyes contain six to eight times more rod cells then our eyes. These cells are more sensitive to low light allowing a cat to see more in settings where humans would be almost completely in the dark. Their superior night vision allows them to better capture movement in the dark, like a scurrying little mouse. On the bright side, human eyes have more cones, providing a more vibrant pallet of colors! #cats #nightvision #kitty #farmanimals On The Bright Side, Low Lights, Night Vision, Cones, Pallet, The Darkest

We just lost this sweet gal after a lot of years, gallons of milk and a few cute kids. Often our animals become like “one of the family” and dealing with the loss of a pet can be sad, bring on some tears, and may even be hard to cope with at first. But it has been determined that actively grieving the loss of a loved pet is normal and healthy. #goat #pet #death #lossofapet #greive #saanan #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farmanimal #farmher Goat Herding, Time Heals, Important Life Lessons, Sad Day, The Day Will Come, Baby Chicks

This old gal is teaching these young ones what is good to eat and what is not. All social animal groups have a hierarchy, or pecking order. It’s just a part of nature. These hierarchies help to establish order in the group and the leader is usually responsible for finding food and protecting the others. Establishing a pecking order can seem brutal and generally involves bullying, biting, pecking, head butting... #chickens #goats #hobbyfarm #farmer #farmanimals #hierarchy This Old Gal, Cool Things To Make, Old Things

These gals are doing so good, growing like weeds! That’s one of the things that they love to eat as well...weeds! Goats are some of the best foragers. As I clean out my garden, trim back grapevines and pull up edible plants, I always offer some of these tasty treats to my goats. I think that goats are a great addition to any farm! #goat #goats #nubians #kids #foragers #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farmanimals #farm #farmers Kayaking, Canoeing, Snowboarding, Skiing

This pretty girl flew into our farm about 8 years ago and cared for a disabled goose that we had. This last spring her mate passed away and shortly after, she flew the coop. I was sad, but figured she had found another mate. A few days ago I went out to the pasture and there she was eating grass with the goats! I was so excited. I am going to find her a friend so that she might be more willing to stay home where I know she’s safe! #geese #goose #hobbyfarm #farmanimals #poultry I Am Sad, Passed Away, Pasture, Lawn Care, Coop, Pretty Girls

It’s important that are hens receive a healthy, well-balanced diet especially when laying, molting, and even during the winter when they are not necessarily laying, but preparing for the physical demands that will come when laying begins. #egglayer #egglaying #healthydiet #eatinghealthy #wellbalanceddiet #chickenfeed #chicken #chickens #hens #hen #eggs #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarmer #hobbyfarming #farmanimals #farm Egg Laying Chickens, Meal Worms, Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, Well Balanced Diet

A cow will eat between 2% -3% of it’s body weight in forage everyday! That’s 25-30 pounds of hay. Cows are ruminant animals, having four stomachs. It can take from one to three days for food to pass through a cows digestive tract, depending on what they ate. www.theheartyhenhouse.com #cow #cows #bovine #forage #hay #ruminant #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #farmer #farmanimal #hobbyfarmer Ruminant, Cute Cows, Bovine, Three Days, Life Drawing, Creature Design, Donkey, Cattle

Barn kitties can be worth their weight in gold on a farm. They are generally very good at helping to keep the rodent population under control and they also eat a lot of bugs! Most barn kitties are feral cats who tend to be a little suspicious of people, but get along great with other animals...chickens, goats, rabbits. This little guy can often be seen sharing breakfast with a chicken. #cats #kittens #barncats #farm #hobbyfarm #killrodents #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farmanimals #animals Rabbits, Feral Cats, Suspicious, Rodents

Two that stand out are lutein which helps to keep skin hydrated and biotin which helps to promote healthy skin and coats. #dogs #nationaldogday #eggs #dogcoats #hobbyfarm #farmers #labrador Black Labrador Retriever, Lutein, Biotin, Dog Coats, Farmers, Healthy Skin, Raising

Not much more pathetic looking than a rooster going through a molt. They don’t look macho and elegant, but more pathetic and silly. This is the time of year that all,chickens will go through a process known as molting. They lose all their old, worn out feathers and grown new, fluffy ones in preparation for the colder weather that’s on its way! It’s like putting on a new winter coat #molting #chickens #chicken #rooster #gettingreadyforwinter #farmanimals #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarmer Chicken Farm, Feathered, Help Me, Ducks, Winter Coat
