    I'm in Penrose, a bit south of the springs. I have an uncle in Longmont (north of denver) that we visit frequently, so as long as you are between those locations, we should be good =)

    And he is a unicorn too =) I have no desire to have a buck, but If you wind up keeping him, I may see if I can give him a girlfriend for a day =) We are looking for a pair of nubians to milk. I don't mind Lamanchas, but the wife has a thing about the ears... (and honestly, I like ears too) The...

We just got six chicks from Tractor Supply (in canon City). and will be ordering some from a hatchery soon. I...

    Things didn't go as planned on our move, but I think it has all worked out in the end. We found a house in Penrose, CO. (About half way between Canon City and Pueblo West) It's an old farm house built in 1920, and has 5 acres with it. The field is planted in alfalfa hay and yields about 8 tons...

    Thinking of getting goats

    We have a pair of boer/pygmy crosses (they probably hve more than just the 2 breeds in them) and they are wonderful little yard dogs. they love attention. we got them after they were weaned from their mom. and the guy we got them from really didn't do anything besides feed his goats. They were...

    Coyote problem. Is a LGD right for me?

    Alice, (I hate to barge in on this thread, but I have similar concerns as the OP) We have been looking into llamas ad guardians as well, Could you give me any advice as to what type / gender / age / number of llamas to get ? They will be looking after a herd of goats, and possibly a few cows...

    What guardian would be best for this situation?

    I am not too concerned about feed, but llamas would eat the same as my goats. The main concern I have about a dog is... well, we love animals, and I have never had an outside dog before. All our dogs are family members, and sleep in the house, and go hiking with us... I know we would be...

    What guardian would be best for this situation?

    As many of you in the goat section know, we are about to move to Colorado. There are a lot of new predators out there that we do not have in our current location. They have a lot of coyote, foxes, skunks (we do not have skunks here in eastern NC) etc.. First, I'll tell you what animals we have...

    How do you "get your goat"?

    We use two large dog crates now. but the day we got our goats was interesting... We had ordered the dog crates, and later that evening, the guy giving us the goats said to come get them. We had to think of something fast(luckily the guy only lives about 3 or 4 miles from us). We grabbed the...

    Dexter Vs. Jersey

    We weren't planning on getting a bull, We will try the AI approach. The children are still very young, so we are planning on getting young calves and raising them around the kids. I know that means a long time before we can get milk, but I think it will be better to have a few great milk cows...

    Dexter Vs. Jersey

    Hey, I frequent the goat section here, but we are interested in getting a couple of cows when we move. We are getting 40 acres, so room for a few cows is not a problem. We want to have a milk cow for the family, as well as raise a few calves for beef, again just for our family of four. we...
