Well thank you, that's much appreciated! An adventure indeed. Scary, but good. We wish you a truly happy new year as well.

What great advice, and what a kind person you are!

Well thank you for being ok with me asking and for answering! I didn't know they take the wool.

Thank you for all this great info about the breed! How long does it take you to trim the feet? How do you know when it's needing to be done? How much do you trim? Sorry for all the questions. Them being smaller is what had my Dh worried.

I hope that your GP loves to guard sheep too. :fl You'll have to keep us updated. :) Nothing like your dog getting to decide who will be a permanent house dog for you. :) That's great you have thing's already planned out for when you move! Thank you for helping me. I am really worried about dogs...

I really like the way you do thing's! I like the idea of training them, as I am sure that makes thing's so much easier. Thanks again for such great info!

Good to know! Thank you! That makes sense, putting the LGD's up while the herding dogs are used. Thanks Southern by choice! Really appreciate your info.

We know it's a lot of work, and money. That's why we have already had many sleepless nights. We find ourselves asking and thinking, are we really thinking this through. Should we really be doing this? It's beyond scary for us. My parents have 40 acres, I know it's nothing compared to what we are...

So very sorry for your loss. :hugs Sure hope the babies can make thing's right. Sure can't wait for your beautiful pics of the kids! :woot

Yeah, and I'm sorry for that. Like I said this month on the 17th we have a meeting with the husband/wife team to talk more details! Then we will get to see what will and will not happen! He has a gravity fed watering system for the cows. It is fed from a pond. We will be hopefully getting to...

Oh wow, I didn't even think of an lgd, not wanting to be with livestock. Nothing wrong with a good watch dog, I want one of those too! Well that's a good way to do it! So they don't wonder off the property when they get out? So did you start when he was a lamb with the leash training? How do...

3 horses, but only 1 that is ride able. :( Yup, all the angus. DH thinks there was about 100 or so head of cattle. Yup all the hay equipment as well! He told us that the place is turn key operation. The one thing that we HAVE to build, is the processing plant, and then get it usda inspected. We...

Oh my what beautiful sheep you have! :loveYour LGD is huge, and so cute! When I took that quiz, the second breed that came up was the Dorper. So when you have an LGD, you can't have a border collie or other herding dog help you move them to another field, right? I'm sure the LGD would kill the...

Glad to hear Callie and babes are doing good! I can't believe it either! Lol I know if it wasn't for my DH I would be! :lol: Sure hope you were able to get some good sleep! My goodness, you are one busy lady! Now hopefully you don't get all bucks :fl I know you probably want to do this to me...

:hugsI'm so sorry. Glad to hear the kids are being amazing kids!

Oh my, that's a lot of boys! So sorry, hopefully they are healthy! :hugsI hope momma is doing great too!

Oh really? Yeah meat is what DH and I want. I liked the katahdin too. You like the dorper? I know everyone has their own opinion, but I would like to hear everyone's! Well the ones that want to share. =)

Yeah, I have read that it's a hit and miss! That's awesome! Not many people do that here. They usually pay a mobile butcher unit, which my DH did that for 1yr too. Or there is the emergency cow got out, and farmer had to take care of the problem. So they bring them in not gutted or anything. I...

Wahoo, thank you for the help with this as well. I will have to read this over and over.

How much do you pay to have your sheep sheered, I hope you guys don't mind me asking! :epWow this website is amazing, thank you!
