No problem. I am an honest person, and certainly don't want to misrepresent her. For what it's worth, the previous owners thought that she was bred because they found the neighbor's bull in with her on two separate occasions, not because they'd intentionally tried to have her bred. Again, they...
I say older because I really don't know her exact age! I bought her from a young couple (horse lovers) who got her from an old guy up in Surry County, NC. He purchased and sold surplus dairy cows, so they bought her, dry but bred, and brought her home to learn on. She calved that October (which...
Older Jersey cow purchased late last summer while in milk from the Fayetteville area. She's been a good cow-- I hand milked her out in a field for several months while she was tied to a fence post. Time constraints necessitate downsizing. She is NOT bred-- she's an only cow on a micro farm with...
Hi, there. :-) I second the recommendation for CL. I often see ads for pigs there. Also, you may want to check the NC Department of Ag Classifieds. (The NC Ag Review) You may find what you're looking for there. Finally, it couldn't hurt to call your local cooperative extension and ask around...
I'm in Eastern NC in the greater Goldsboro area. We have goats, a cow, chickens, and too many hobbies! I'm a NC native, btw. Originally from Anson Co, but grew up in Union Co, too.
Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad that your dad found what he's looking for. It's such a huge undertaking selecting a new addition to a herd! :-)
I really wish that I could keep him, but my herd is so small that I need to breed up and bring in a new buck to keep things going. I'll keep him...
Thanks for the compliment! I think that he's a handsome little bugger myself, but I'm hardly impartial. His grandsire was GORGEOUS-- blue eyes, mottled black/white/gray/brown. Cole looks JUST LIKE his dad. Goats are so neat that way-- it's hard to tell what they will look like. Anyhoo I do have...
Cole is a great little buckling! I love his sire, Hubbub. I purchased Hubbub last spring to service my does. I have a one year old daughter, and he's NOT aggressive towards her at all. Cole is dam raised, so he's kind of shy still. His sire is such an easy keeper that I'm retaining him and plan...
Yeah! I guess I only had to post more than once, lol.
**OH-- And he's from a CL/CAE free herd. I DO test. Last test completed last March, and all animals were clean. I purchased a buck last March from a CL/CAE free herd.** I practice FAMACHA and worm only when necessary. Gosh, I should've...
It won't let me upload them. :-(
I'd be happy to send you some if you're interested, though. I'm a new member (lurker forever, though!) so I haven't met the requirements to post images yet.
Oh, and thanks for the welcome! I'm on just about every OTHER homestead/chicken/cow/goat board and...
Coltrane is a registerable, purebred Nigerian Dwarf buckling. He was born 10/26/10 as a single birth to a first freshener. Both parents are onsite. He has an excellent pedigree. Sire has *S on both sides of his pedigree. Dam was born on a dairy farm and comes from good dairy lines. I'm retaining...
