    My little lamancha mixes. Pic Heavy!!

    I am loving this thread..My 9 month old lamancha is a stinker too.But she can be so sweet and has a great personality..She has gotten to where she will beg looking for animal crackers..She stands up on her hind legs with her front legs out in front of her and it looks like she is begging or...

    BarredRockMomma (I'm still here)

    BRM, just read through your journal..I totally understand about not having enough to do.I work for the DoD as a unit mail clerk in a training brigade.I am lucky if I have more than 10 pieces of mail to deal with on a day..I am literally finished with all my work in less than an hour.But I have...

    Christmas for new goat owners

    Southern, it was not taken the wrong way,I find it hilarious that a woman raised in Germany and has never used a chainsaw or just about any outdoor power equipment would want one but she does.This is a woman that loves the 114 degree days here in Northern Texas and loves to mow the grass.She was...

    I can't beleive some people

    Christmas for new goat owners

    Catahoula,an electric is more than she needs.I don't really know what she wants it for.We only have 3 real trees on the place since we are on the edge of the great plains..Do have some small mesquite trees about as big around as my wrist but they are in the unused pasture that she never ever...
