Ranching

Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

How often should a turkey egg be turned during incubation?

If you are turning the eggs by hand you need to do odd numbers so that the embryo does not end up in the same place every night. So either 3 turns per day or 5 turns per day. 7 turns would be good but now you are opening the incubator to much and letting the heat and humidity out. So if you have the time, spread out 5 turns over the course of the day.

In an automatic incubator the machine will turn the eggs between every hour or 2 hours day and night depending on the model.

How do you build a stock tank for livestock?

To answer this properly you would need to know how many animals are you going to water i.e. one, ten, thousand.
Lets say for sake of discussion there are 100.
The first thing I would consider would be to dam an arroyo by using a dozer to dig a basin and pushing the excess dirt across the arroyo to make a dam. You must select an arroyo or drainfield that runs a lot of water when it rains.
I would next consider buying a metal tank (wash tub size to swimming pool size), drill a well and install a windmill.
Here again, there are some assumptions, however, this is frequently done, for instance, in remote areas of New Mexico where there is no electricity.
