Walter Balancing Rocks
Rocks have more fun in a group. They’re social. As you can see in the photo above, they enjoy gymnastics like this balancing act† they’re putting on under my supervision. Good coaching is important.
Outdoors: 72°F/58°F Sunny, 1″ Intense Rain
Tiny Cottage: 66°F/65°F
Daily Spark: Never strive to only do the impossible.
†Yes, those rocks really are balancing and stable. No Photoshopping, no glue, no fakery.

Hey Walter, my wife and I are farmers in Vermont and enjoy your ideas concerning pasture/whey fed pigs! We currently work for somewhat of a conventional dairy/cheese operation and I’m curious to know if the transmission of trace antibiotics in whey concerns you at all. That’s assuming your relying on a mid-large scale dairy that uses both sub therapeutic and therapeutic antibiotics?
Thanks for all your good work and hope to hear from you, gregory
The milk, whey, butter and cheese we get doesn’t come from the Big Ag conventional dairies and I am not concerned with this. See the post and comments on Organic Page for further details about antibiotics, GMOs, rBST/rBGH, etc.
Speaking as one who does a lot of research in the field of antibiotics you really don’t need to be worrying about this. The ‘trace amounts’ break down. The bigger concern is bacteria that are developing resistance from the feeding of antibiotic laced feeds that are at a high enough level to create an evolutionary pressure. The ‘trace amounts’ won’t even do that.
