    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    It’s not that I don’t pay attention..it’s that I really really that nieve. Chris gets on my case ALL the time because ups always think that everyone in the world is good, everyone wants to be my friend, and no one would do me harm. I was raised in a bubble. My parents did me no favors by this...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    Even if we can’t figure out WHY it’s happening right now...we need to take these next two days and go buy enough feed for a month in case it does happen!! Please be safe

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    But for what purposes? What do they gain by trying to control us...they get a bunch of crazed peo0le who are staved for reality!! We have jobs to every day to keep us busy. But imagine now being stuck at home with kids you normally see on weekends or at bedtime. There’s only news and reruns...

    My garden 😞

    @Jesusfreak101 is sooo right about them being finicky eaters. My goats will choose a pice of grass, but not eat it all the way down. Same with hay...if it touches the ground...forget it..unless I’m putting a new bale up. They eat the bases of our pine trees and Chris tells me to make them...

    C&D Farming..oh what a life!

    Oh, forgot to add, used the milk machine again tonight. Still the one pumper won’t work. After a few minutes of watching the same milk swish back and forth in the tube...I said forget it, I’m hand milking. The good news...I’m getting much much better at the hand milking. @Jesusfreak101 gave...

    C&D Farming..oh what a life!

    @B&B Happy goats ...my son, Ben just gave me the same lecture tonight. A loooong one. He said that I need to think of the people I love if I won’t think of myself. If he visits me, he could then carry it to my Dad. If something happened to my Dad...my son would be lost. He raised his as his...

    Almost two weeks old

    I’ve had babies jump out and get stuck in the tiny space between the nest box and the cage wall...so now I try to leave a bit of room. Bu5 when they are too small, they just can’t find their way back in....that’s really nice that your hutches are insulated. What will you do in the summer...

    @B&B Happy goats ,..that’s a great idea...the nice young girl and her daughter are coming back tomorrow to visit the farm. She really wants this one bunny, but has no place for it yet...I told her , no worries..I’m giving it to her. I did cut my prices back down to $10...and people came...

    So, calves born this year can’t be bred until they are two? Just too small? I keep reading your posts about the falling prices and the silage, etc... and I feel worried for you. I am concerned about being stuck with too many bunnies...not even a comparison!! I need to tell you something my...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    I know your point about the vivid 19 deaths, and I’ve had the exact same questions....apparently, it’s because it spreads so fast and there is no cure? That’s what I was told by my dr when I was there last week for a check up...who knows? BUT...this..is different info...something I’m not...

    C&D Farming..oh what a life!

    This is VERY helpful info!! Once again...why didn’t I find this forum first??? Ok, so, do you get Blueseal at TS? My goats are soooo picky, I’ve tried many brands of goat feed...the only one they sort of like us the Dumor...but, still, Busty manages to eat the small stuff out of the mix and...

    Ok, now that we’re on the topic of goat berries and worms...do you guys rake up the pasture? My goats are free range but mostly stick around to the same area. Someone on BYC asked me about it. I have not done that...as, I’d be raking...tons of areas....but if I have to..I will!!

    Weaning...is it a must??

    Yes...I’m letting them wean naturally. I tried to separate them for two days because I was selling one...it was torture....the people that bought him, came and got him early...he was doing fine...8 weeks...only one not crying!! It is much more peaceful now, except when I am milking, and I...

    C&D Farming..oh what a life!

    I mix goat pellets, BOSS, soybeans pulp, beet pulp, sweet feed and oats. I play around with the ratios depending on her poop. When it’s clumpier I cut back on the soy and beets. She also loves her alfalfa pellets. Can’t get the hay around here. At least not close, or affordable. They get...

    No...I’ve never had a weight problem...even when I gained the baby weight...42 lbs, I was back in my jeans 2weeks after. In college I gained the freshman 10...my fat grandmother used to hit the cookies out of my hand and tell me that was for my brothers because I was too fat!! Talk about tough...
