This is the last CoopCast of the year!  We expect to be back with another episode January 8th, 2014.  So on with the farming updates and the bitter cold and endless snow here on the farm. We talk a little about how the pigs and chickens are doing in this brutal cold.

To celebrate the holidays we have a community segment where we talk about:

The recent FDA and antibiotic use ruling brought up by Daniel- http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm378100.htm
We pick on Nancy (again) for calling Andy, Randy
Pam asked us about reusable canning lids that we discussed in episode 030
Tori has a question about electric fencing, goats, moose and bear
Kyle asked a good thinking question about predator control

In our last segment we discuss all the people and businesses who make what we do possiable.
