Rambling round the farms 1....

Have you ever heard of  Earth Alliance? No, it is not another political party, NGO, or the latest alien Space Invaders invading your children iPads,iPhone or TV screens..:-)
I have been to a few farms im my days , and I would like to share some of the experiences with you in these ramblings...starting with Earth Alliance Farm.
It is  a farm located along Jalan Jugaan, Siniawan, with 100 plus heads of Kambing Katjang crosses and some dairy type goats. The farm attempts to produce free-range poultry,eggs, goat milk and meat, and green vegetables in an organic and sustainable way.
The farm is located in lovely undulating land by a river, and most of the local gosts are lively,active and in great body condition. In addition  to grazing or being fed  local grasses such as Axonoppus spp; Ischaemun spp and Paspalum spp, the goats were given wet soya waste, coarse salt mineral vitamin mix and other supplementary feeds.

Free range broilers under portable sheds

On the flip side, if you buy in unknown breeders from various sources, you may end up with extra baggage, as seen in some goat with sores on the mouth, coronorary bands and lower extremities. Any idea what this might be?

Sores on coronary bands, also involving mouths and lips.

FROM THE EDITOR.....

Dear SVA members,
As you may have realised, 2010 was a year of  hibernation for the Newsletter, not least because I, as the Editor, was immersed im many business and other equally trivial pursuits..
Money, as they say, "cannot be finished earning" and when the EXCO applied CPR to ourselves, we get a new lease of life for the next 2 years...ahem.
I also realise that I  better activate the newletter in the digital form through this blog so that I pass on a live and not a comatose inheritance to the next Editor.
Now,  after having a tip from the president that people log in  mainly to see their pixs, I will start by putting mine on...with my new status as a born again SVA Editor...!
Will write more, and canvass members personally to post, or send articles  to me to do the necessary...I janji!
