Buck herd heifers milk and pasture strategy described
The text outlines cattle management focusing on dairy heifers. It notes that cows bred for milk may grow slowly if forced by short rest after first lactation, suggesting delaying freshening by about six months. Buck herd heifers receive ample grain until a certain age, then grain is reduced and they graze on pasture until freshening, with winter hay silage and fodder provided.
Nails at Home In Early Colonial Times
In early colonial days, home nail making varied by skill. A competent worker could produce around two thousand nails per day, reflecting the craftsman’s efficiency and the domestic scales of production that supported fledgling settlements.
