The local feed store should have the cotton seed meal but it's around 9.50 a 50lbs bag,doubt will have it in bulk, may can get them to get you a bulk bag in next feed order.
I know for sure WEST brand feed offers the meal and by dealer locator shows one in La Grange and Bastrop

Thanks! will check into it.

Kyle, I know Lexington feed store had the 50lb bags 2 years ago. Might Check Carmine feed in Giddings. I also found out that ground cottonseed meal comes in two types of 50 pound bags, one had an added salt mixture for cattle - do not buy the one with added salt!

Another mistake I made was to leave the bags in the back of the pickup overnight - raccoons had a party :cool2:

Cousin near Fairfield and brother at Elm Mott both say they've recently seen hummingbirds. Last year all my hummingbird feeder attracted was ants, but I'm about to try again.

our humbird feeder just has bees around it right now. Bernice said she's waiting to see birds before she refills it....I'll let her know they're on the move.

Sunday's Dinner. The little duck thief was treed right beside Belle's dog house. View attachment 418731 I went outside twice in the dark this morning to tell Belle to quit barking. Little did I know a possum was treed within her cable run.
Yes, she got extra rawhide today!
hugs, Brandi

you didn't give her the possum? she earned it.....

I never could eat possum or coon, but I guess you can get a taste for it. I have a couple of friends that are not poor that still eat them.
On another note, I was at the grocery store the other day. A lady asked me if she could help me find anything, I asked her where they kept the poke salad.

I've eaten barbecued coon on more than one occasion and it was pretty good, but I've never tried possum. I've always remembered my mother telling about a time when she and dad were first married, he brought a possum home and wanted her to cook it. But she said he had skinned it right out over the head, leaving the head on. She said that thing looked like it was grinning at her and she refused to cook it or have anything to do with it.

I asked her where they kept the poke salad.

Now that's something I've eaten lots of, but never got it from the grocery store.

Kyle, did you make a trip over here for the mushroom compost?
