Welcome!

There definitely is, but it’s worth it! Can we get pictures? Does she have friends too? Does she have a name? Congrats on entering the goat world! :welcome

Okay, this might seem strange to some of you, but where did you learn farmee stuff? I know for many farming is the way it has always been, so you learned from your family. Where did the rest of you learn?

It was probably a coincidence for the apple branches, but in the future I wouldn’t feed them any because the can contain arsenic. It’s not like my goats haven’t gotten out to eat toxic branches before and were fine, but as a general I don’t feed them.

There have been some great suggestions already. We went through similar a few years ago and couldn’t hay from anywhere! I just learned about winter forage like two weeks ago, but I don’t know if that’s a possibility for you. Anyway, what we did was get straw, and trees for the goats to strip...

Some people say putting vitamin E in the food counteracts the enzyme in their saliva(they lick their fur) and it makes allergies better. I don’t know if it works though.

On the bright side, people have been buying up chickens and livestock like crazy, I wonder if I can get a chicken rush this winter? Who else is waiting until the election is over so that the virus can go away? Maybe too political for byh, but seriously, when your entire running platform is we...

I’m probably way too late to be jumping on about the schooling thing, but have you heard of sos, switched on schoolhouse. It is a Christian based computer curriculum, it does a lot of the grading for you and the scheduling is easy. My only complaint was the math, I went from math-u-see to SOS...

Mine have always hated those. I’ve had like two who would kind of eat them.

I find electric cars interesting, but as far as “clean” fuel I’m not so sure. I’ve always had a problem with where the electricity came from being “cleaner” than gas. On the other hand, I don’t think removing all the oil from under the plutonic plates is the best idea either, as seen in the...

It’s hilarious to me that you’re using the hide emoji, I was expecting kick back for liking pellets lol.

There are a lot of opinions, but I say go with pellets. Some of my rabbits liked hay, some didn’t. But all healthy and gorgeous(aside from a blind rabbit and rescues like that but that wasn’t about feed at all) I would mix a 25 lb bag of show and a 50 pound of regular if I had young or preggy...

I wish I could lol, but no horses for me:hu awesome contest though!

Wow she looks great for 32!

Wow, thank you all so much for the time and information. As far as the fence panels, when I say hog panels I mean the 8x4 or the 4x16 panels of thick gauge wire that stand alone(they also sell ones with all small holes but they are almost triple the price). The panels alone are enough to keep...

Some good thoughts, thank you guys. I thought I would have enough space, a neighbor keeps a full horse on slightly less than an acre and only needs some hay in the winter, and my eight goats can’t keep their 2/3 ish of an acre down(it’s knee high in several spots right now). But that is why I...

Brat genes don’t seem to be passed down, but I hate dealing with mean rabbits. I’ve used water bottles for most of my rabbits, the exception was a blind rabbit who couldn’t find his spout. We had homemade pottery crocks, they weigh a good amount and had a large enough base that they couldn’t...

Because they start grow frame before they grow meat. And their charming personality can be too endearing lol.

I got a rabbit who was three months old and the next morning she had eight living babies... Google lies lol. Definitely separate them right away! If she start to pull hair off of her stomach give her a nesting box. By the way, rabbits do fight and will try to kill each other when left together...

I’m sorry, I thought I updated! Unfortunately she passed the next morning after I posted. I think it was Tetanus or something along those lines. So we vaccinated the rest of the herd just in case and everyone else is doing pretty well(aside from my goat who was bit by a spider a while back but...
