In this podcast, we’re covering what mineral supplements are, why they're important, and how and what we should be feeding our livestock.

One of the hardest skills for me to master was homemade bread! I was baking dense, flavorless loaves that my family tolerated. Then I learned a few essential elements of getting the perfect loaf every time, I started getting fluffy, sliceable bread my family LOVED.
