  1. I like Outlaws as well - seems there are quite a few logos out there:
  2. And no, I do not operate my tractor like this!
  3. Until we win a cup, we won't get the respect. Until then, I couldn't care less what so called "experts" have to say. Go Canucks GO!
  4. We used too, we only have a couple "retired" ones enjoying the rest of their lives out in our main coop and free ranging in a field.
  5. Hatching eggs. We have 16 different breeds of Heritage chickens. We are helping to preserve those breeds by making their eggs available.
  6. I didn't say Trudeau is a terrible person. But if you're asking, I don't like him at all and can not believe how anyone would forgive him for him miscues before becoming a politician - yet will hold steadfast to not forgiving anyone else - just doesn't make sense to me. Trudeau has the worst fiscal management of any Prime Minister - ever. 5.6% Percent Change in (Inflation-Adjusted) Debt per Person over Prime Ministerial Tenures Without a World War or Economic Downturn (2015-2019) - it's in the Fraser Institute link I posted. PP has never been PM - maybe he will be worse - maybe better - maybe the same. I have no idea - and neither does anyone here - and Trudeau, before came to power, had no experience as a PM neither - yet people voted for him. Yes, you're right, it's would be more productive to ask why someone thinks anyone is a terrible person.
  7. True, people in Quebec don't ship this way neither - but it didn't show an increase in local revenue. People will only pay so much for hatching eggs, heck, even eating eggs. Bottom line is, my wife and I are slowly cutting down our flock size as it's not cost justifiable. People will pay $7 for a latte, but bock at paying that for extra large farm eggs. (currently we are only charging $6 for our eating eggs - and we lost customers when we raised it from $5 - next year, we are raising to $7 as that seems to be the going rate around here from other reputable farmers). The feed store where we buy in bulk, told us they get the same amount from the source (Surecrop) today as they got from them 10 years ago, $1 a bag. Yet, that bag of feed which was $12, 10 years ago, is now over $20. The farmers that sell the grain/feed - aren't making anymore neither. Distribution is who makes the money - I know, as I bought a ton of wheat directly from a farmer a little bit ago. He said they aren't making hardly anything more than what they sold a ton for several years ago. Course, I don't have to prove food prices to the average consumer - you see the prices when you grocery shop. For example, $9 for a jug of goats milk - but the goat farmer isn't getting anymore then when it was $6.
  8. The customers do pay the shipping - Cost to Manitoba via Purolator or Canada Post is the same. Plus, Purolator is rougher with packages in my experience. Also, they are further away from me for dropping off packages - and they won't pickup at my rural place. Further away means, I use more time to get there and fuel.
  9. They do - but it's like 1% or something minuscule. I have a "small business" account with them.
