No, she is down off the road, and houses in both directions, including me a half mile away, had power last night when I came up the hill to the top of her driveway. It is strictly her, and must be the transformer on the pole that goes down to her house. At one time, I lived in a house at the...

I have looked at the dual fuel ones also. Should have invested 2 years ago when they were 1500. Are they really up to $3000? WOW. Would have to research how much they can run.... we lose our power some, but my bigger concern down the road is with the drain on the electric grid....what if we...

Getting some rain, after the horrendous winds last night. It is misty/showery out there , even though the radar shows it all well to the east. Looks like @Mini Horses is going to get some rough weather for awhile. And for the rest of the day. Forecast here is actually for it to be partly...

Congrats on being able to get the building/garage... Taking down will be a pain, but putting it up will make you, and your sheep, very happy. Can't hardly believe that the oldest granddaughter graduated high school... and she is sooooo smart too. Just hope she can be a "kid" too.... so many...

A couple drops per gallon.... really really dilute.... Used to use like 10-15 drops to a full washing machine of white clothes and diapers.

Had a headache this morning and it was pretty rough for a bit. Tired too because I did not sleep good last night. Usually sleep good when I am tired like that, but I ached and forgot to take a tylenol like I usually do... 1 will just calm the shoulder and all and I can sleep good... but was up...

How far did you have to back in there? Over a mile? How many loads will you have to put in there? Is that the "driveway" to that place or is that going to be a road to go past there to another property? Brings back memories of my dad when working for a company that hauled gravel etc... but...

We use that aluminum spray on cattle feet and other spots... very handy to have.

Are you getting any of this rain/wind/stormy weather? Looked like it might have stayed north of you for the first round... but looks like a bigger spread coming towards us for tomorrow morning...Wind was WICKED....

Did you get the awful wind and rain today @rachels.haven ? It looked to come across and we just got winds to bend the trees halfway over... some rain... blew some stuff around at the house... lost power for a little bit but neighbor still does not have hers back... we were eating supper and it...

Also, the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control has charts and they have been updated in 2021... This group has very definite suggestions on what to use, and the different strengths of the different products and for both sheep and goats it is stated to NOT use the injectable...

You can go on the Cornell University college of Vet Science or the Georgia Small Ruminant Research and Extension center websites, and Ga is closer to you... and see the dosages and the withdrawals of the different drugs allowed... All suggest using the Sheep oral drench, and the strength of the...

Are you using the pour on off label as an oral dose per advice of the vet?

And that is why I do not have goats.... bad enough when a 1000-1400 lb bovine decides to go over a fence... and it is usually because they are in heat... or they have been separated from their calf for weaning and they decide they aren't ready to "let go of JR"...... but they do not often just...

Most "pour-ons" are for haired cattle.. and it is not advised to use it on cattle, with heavy winter coats due to not being absorbed. Most sheep are wooled that they advised the drench for... That is preferred over injectible so that the wormer goes DIRECTLY to the source. Granted, there are...

Good for you to be able to find something that will be very functional for the foreseeable future. The 2 horse Stidham trailer I had, had the full nose underneath the top feed sections like yours, and I could cram alot of stuff in there. Used it for years and years with the horse and then...

Sat night. It is warm and rather humid... Temps hit 86 on the recording thermometer... and we got a couple spells of dark clouds passing overhead... It poured down at the farm where I was testing for about 5-10 minutes... the farmer and the girl that helps on Sat afternoons, both ran out to...

Saturday morning... down to 60 but already up to 77.... going to be very warm. Sun out, but there is a good chance of some pop up type thunderstorms this afternoon. I am going to be stuck in a barn testing so it won't matter. Except I would prefer to be out here in the late afternoon in the...

We are being overrun with ticks here. I take an average of one a day off the cats or crawling on me or something... Counted 17 so far in the last few weeks... most all have been crawling not attached...:he:somad:somad:rant:rant:rant

Comfortable 64 this morning... light rain and showers last night and looks to stick around through at least noontime. Nothing in traps and not sprung... don't think it visited... I would be very glad to see it killed on the road by a car... but that seldom happens... Ate some breakfast so now...
