    The char that passes through the cow is also excellent for restoring your pasture. Look into making biochar and using it. You'll get more bang for your buck than just burning slash piles.
    Good video, and good information. So much of what our ancestors knew has been forgotten in our "science" kick of medicating everything.

    Back last year I was at a mates place & we decided to burn a brush pile the previous owners had put together.
    I went back a week later & my friend was amazed there wasn’t anything left. Normally there would always be some chunks of charcoal left over.
    I remembered you saying that cows eat it so I explained it to him.

    My dog ate some rat poison at a friends house and the vet pumped charcoal into him and he vomited all the poison and charcoal back up and saved him. Thank God I caught him eating it and was able to get him to the vet. Don't ever use rat/mouse poison if you have dogs, cats, etc because they can get secondary poisoning from eating the mouse, rat, etc.

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  Před 2 lety +2

      Your vet probably told ya this...but odds are your dog would have been fine. According to my Vet and what I've read....the mouse/rat or vermin has to consume nearly it's body weight in poison to kill it. In that case..your dog may have had a bit of abnormally thin blood however the chances of it killing your dog are very very low simply because it has to consume so much of the poison to be effective. Most poisons contain a version of coumadin..a blood thinner that causes internal hemorrhage in the victim....still better safe than sorry...I agree with ya there for sure!

    This is great! I haven't looked much into charcoal, but like diatomaceous earth for all my critters. I feed 1 cup a day to my horses for 10 days, and 1 teaspoon a day to my dogs or cars. I've done fecal samples with the vet, before and after, and it worked! Great for tapeworms!
    100% to all of this info. I've read that manure with chemical wormer can degrade pastures and hayfieds too. I'm curious to dry the charcoal method too now!
