    Jokes and Fun!

    @AmberLops - Honestly I did not! It's a giant flea market where people leave their stuff in the booths and the place the size of Walmart has like two people running the checkout counter. I walked past and was like - Oh, someone is selling their old bit to be farmhouse decor...how much are they...

    Jokes and Fun!

    It eventually sold....but I had a laugh seeing this at an antique store back in 2017. I just stumbled back on the pictures while looking through my photo collection: "Vintage Nautical Decor"

    @Heart of the Matter Farm - You may have luck selling them. We have purchased outside drakes before for breeding. Best of luck!

    Problems with a Lesson Pony

    To keep it short, I am honestly amazed a horse that now knowingly has behavioral problems is still paired up with a newer rider (with no offense to you). Yes, learning how to handle a horse and handle yourself around them is important, but it doesn't seem you are there for HORSE TRAINING...

    INFO ON FEEDING

    Good info here- it is valuable for folks to know to not drastically try to fatten a horse up. And vet visits are so important to get their health evaluated, teeth checked, have a farrier evaluate feet. A good exam upon adoption is a great bet.

    Ducks

    Good to hear you have homes lined up. We sold a youngster Khaki for $15 when he was a few months old, but around here fully laying ends up being $25 a piece or $30+ for an adult pair.

    Cat Spraying

    @MiniGoatsRule - I've always really been a fan of the late animal behaviorist Dr. Sophia Yin, and I wanted to share some basic info from her website that gives information on spraying: https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/tips-for-dealing-with-urine-spraying-in-cats/ I'd consider it may be the...

    Wooden Ornaments

    I wanted to go ahead and open a new version of my thread from last year again to see if there would be interest in our handmade, wood-burned ornaments featuring your breed of cattle, sheep, goat, chicken, duck, or any animal in a simple design. They make great Christmas gifts, and unique pieces...

    Homestead/Herder Vocabulary

    I’m working on a little something similar to a homesteader’s dictionary of sorts that simplifies common terms and breaks them down into examples maybe. That being said, I’d love some input of words you may commonly say about the homestead/farm/herd/flock but that other folks outside the realm...

    @Pastor Dave - I am praying God will lay a healing hand on you and help bring you some relief from this re-occuring problem. I'm glad that your co-workers have been so helpful and understanding of what's going on. I'm glad it has subsided and just will continue to pray for relief. @promiseacres...

    Prayer Requests & Praises

    Please say prayers for those on the Eastern coastline who may be impacted by this now Category 5 Hurricane that is rolling up. I watch the hurricane/storm forecast daily, and at one point a few days ago they had this thing aimed entirely over Florida. It's shifted away and going up the coast...

    Prayer Requests & Praises

    @promiseacres - I just got around to seeing this and reading your post. I said a prayer for your cousin going through cancer treatment, that God would lay healing hands on her and be with all the family during this time for comfort. I also prayed for you for an ease of stress after all that is...
