Hi folks, we are currently looking for someone around central Alabama range that has young goats for sale. No prefered breed! Please let us know what goats you have, breed and gender, and asking price. Thank you! Searching as of 10/16/2021

I am so glad you said that about the Parsnip plant, wow. Just told my husband about it and was in shock that it can burn you like that. I've heard a lot about the volcanic activity, but I saw that about the Anchorage one. I think it was a video inside of a shop, wow

Beautiful and thank you so much for sharing! How often are earthquakes hitting for you all?

Too much caffeine as a kid and teen so coffee basically helps keep a headache away and sort of a sentimental way to start the day too. Can’t wait for some campfire percolator coffee soon

Morning all, late start on the coffee for me but it will be brewed nonetheless. How many of you drink coffee literally every single morning like us? Hoping today we can get some work done outside, and need to start planning some craft projects too. I get to try my hand at baking my very first...

October 14th, 2021 Well sheesh, here it is over a year since I last posted an update. Lots going on, and I get myself in a distracted mess usually. I find myself making the text a bit larger just so it's easier on my own eyes, and hopefully anyone else reading and their eyes. BackYard Herds...

@CB901 - Keeping my fingers crossed, can't wait to hear how it goes!

@Chiknoodle - have you posted on BackYard Chickens yet about this? They may be able to help give you some further advice and input

@Alaskan - Thank you for the input! This will be a huge factor for me, selecting from a herd that not only is healthy and well kept by a caring farm/individual, but selecting from stock that is well-minded.

I have done research online in the past, for a few years actually, as well as ordered an old used copy of the Oxen book by mister Drew Conroy which has not yet made it here but will be my first go-to reading source in regards to training. He luckily is still training to this day, so I would hope...

Thank you @Baymule! I would also like any input on fencing possibly, experiences with different fencing types or combos for them. Thanks kindly all

@HomesteadHappy - welcome to BYH! One step over from BYC, here you'll find some great info to help those future plans with livestock/herd critters

It is very easy to get overwhelmed and burnt out, especially when things seem to just darn not go as planned. And having this move with not everything ready for so many animals, it is alot. Don't get frustrated with them, as especially if they haved moved from where they were raised or used to...

So I have not been terribly active here as of late, my apologies. But our plans are set to get a set of calves next year to raise and train as working oxen. Our hearts are set on Herefords for our pair. 2022 is our goal to get ready for our pair. As this will be the first time we've had cattle...

@Chickenlover0810 - not a pig farmer/raiser myself, but if in doubt perhaps you all should give the vet a ring to be safe.

@loveanimals - If this little one has been raised solely bottle by humans and has not been exposed to other sheep, it's going to be an integration process! Even if they are related, being with adults can be scary! Try slow exposure - supervised little visits together, or perhaps fenced near one...

@Kusanar - Thank you! @Larsen Poultry Ranch - Thank you kindly as well! Good luck working those rabbit hides. I'd love to have enough to make a blanket/throw one day.

The bag didn’t turn out QUITE like I planned, but it’s finished up! I want to try this again sometime with a liner and belt loop instead.

@Larsen Poultry Ranch - CONGRATS!

Just had our coffee and tended critters. Hoping we get a bit of rain for the garden, considering we are about to hit 90s soon. How’s it going everyone else’s way?
