@Sundragons I have heard great things about the Google Pixel actually! I'm using a Sony A6500, my partner got it for me as a birthday/christmas gift (they are pretty close). I had originally wanted to move to a full frame from my previous setup (a Canon rebel) but most of my shots are taken...

@greybeard I am jealous of your spring weather! :love

@Sundragons Which Nikon DSLR are you using? These are fantastic :)

Sounds eventful! I too am jealous of your grass, the snow just melted away here in Northern CO but its supposed to snow on Monday again :hit Good things your heifers like you! I want a few cattle, how many do you have?

What @Bruce said is very true for those that are not looking to do photography professionally. If you are taking photos for your enjoyment, there is no real need to spend an exuberant amount of money on a fancy camera. Also, a camera is only as good as the person behind it. There are several...

These two were with my Canon: And this is the only photo I have completed with my Sony A6500: Its my neighbors little guy Creek! :love

@Hybridchucks I started with a Canon EOS Rebel T5 but just graduated to a Sony A6500. I haven't used it a lot as I got it for Christmas but I will share some pictures once I finish editing them! It is an amazing camera but expensive, the lenses are expensive too which sucks. But I needed a...

Thats what I wanna do :hit But they may be expanding the road in front of us and want to see where they are pushing it to before we put in more permanent fencing. We also have some dead trees we need to replace before finalizing and then I dont have the money for that nice of fencing :gig I...

@Bruce Essentially, yes! We live off of a semi-major road unfortunately (didnt use to be :mad:), we already struggle with idiots and the previous owner left us the twisted wiring along the whole perimeter (the only good thing they left us) so we figured we might as well reuse it! I will always...

@Latestarter I have a couple sheep that are jerks and will tesr it like crazy. Also for the babies so they dont get too close to the road. We will use a sprayer to keep the grass dead but put it high enough that as long as we keep the whacker against the ground, it would not hit it. But we’ll...

BUSY day yesterday. Got up at 7 and went inside at 7. Forgot to eat even. Got about a an acres worth fenced FINALLY. It was hard work but my sheep & alpacas LOVE the additional space. Was a 1.5 woman job, my roommate/occasional farmhand cane out sporadically to help & learn. I have blisters...

@Bruce Maybe its just male alpacas in general? Mine are just like yours. Even with grain they snub their noses at me. Makes me want to try alpaca meat when they get cranky when I am trying to FEED them :rolleyes:

@Bruce Your alpacas are broken :lol: I have heard apples are a close second! The breeder I got my girls from said to put it on top if a feed bucket, the put your hand in it. Pick some up over time and have them get it from your hand. Eventually they’ll come running? We’ll see o_O

For my sheep & alpacas (and formerly also goats) we used the Red Brand goat fencing. It has held up great for us. We are moving to a 6 strand system on the 4 acres we are fencing but use the goat fencing for the run in or collection pens...

Welcome! Sorry to hear of your loss the first year but you will keep learning every season. Feel free to post as many pictures as you'd like, we love them here ;) :welcome

Congrats and welcome! Are you planning to expand your goat herd? :welcome

@Bruce I've been told carrots are their weakness. I'm gonna grab some tonight and see the validity of it tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, my boys are total A**h**** so not even carrots could make them friendly. Hoping the girls are better :fl

@Bruce My boys HATE being touched. These girls are skittish but much friendlier overall. I think with time they will warm up.

@Baymule I hope to learn how to spin it, its on my list of things to do!
