My best advice for you would be to start basic obedience training with a dog trainer. Once you have that down, you will have gained the training tools that you need in order to complete his training for the tasks that you need from him.

Thank you so much for al of the info! It’s appreciated. There is so much to think about, but I also have to make the land work for me in order to keep and maintain it, so I have to do something to make it start generating a real income. I probably neglected to say that I currently work for an...

This New Years, I jokingly posted a meme about my resolution being to become completely feral.... I had no idea just how true that would become..... I swear I’ve gone 100% feral out here. I look up and a month and a half has gone by. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Feral and moving at warp speed. Life’s settling in to a...

Ha! And I just noticed that my new “status” on here is “Overrun with Beasties” 🤣. How appropriate. On February 14th, when I moved permanently back out here to the Farm, I had exactly one Beastie. My Big, Sweet, Smooshy Dog, Angus. 4 Months later, I’ve got 10 Chickens, 2 Goats and my Boy. I am...

So, I did a thing yesterday. I wasn’t *exactly* in the market for a Rooster. I also wasn’t exactly NOT in the market. I’d been tossing around the idea Of picking up a fella for my flock, but he had to be the “right one”. Like with most things critter related in my life, my pets usually come to...

Been another busy week. Got the driveway regravelled and some new outdoor fire pit furniture (all cleaned up and painted cheery blue). Got a salad greens bed planted. And a water melon, lol. I swore only annuals and trees this year, but I was gifted a great mesclun mix seed pack and couldn’t...

More pics from my “missing time” 🤣

Oh!! And BEES!!!! A life long dream came true and I got to spend the day with a local beekeeper doing hive maintenance and learning. Next year, I’ll be starting my first hive! Forgot to add pics to my last post. Not enough coffee yet, on the rainy, lazy day........

@Senile_Texas_Aggie Hope you are well, friend! Just a thought...... while making your decision on the tractor and bush hog that you need, have your thought about leasing it to a farmer for hay production? About half of my 68 acres is cared for by a wonderful farmer who grows hay and soy beans...

Well, once again, it seems that I lost a few days (or weeks) in this quarantine. I swear, I’m becoming completely feral out here, but it’s led to loads of projects being done. I made three new raised garden beds and got all my herbs planted. Next up are the blueberries and strawberries and...

My main coop says that it’s for 6-8 birds, and currently only has 4. Looking at it, I’d hate to think of 8 in there, but I suppose it would only be at night anyway. They’re loose in their run all day long. Its my first year raising chicks, so I wanted a safe, enclosed way to get them moved...

Picked up a new chicken tractor this past week. I was thinking of using it as a way to introduce my new Peeps to the ladies once they’re ready to move outside. Are there Pro’s/Con’s to just letting each set of 4 birds have their own coop in the same run?

Hey there! Just settling in to life, really. Feeding critters, finding my happy place in this Spring. Planting some stuff in the new flower beds, marveling at how fast these baby chicks grow. This place has magic. I swear it. 🙂

Im just making the bed, had no clue how I’m going to use it 🤣. I’m sure I’ll fill it eventually. I thought you meant my vegetable garden. 🤣❣️

I got help running the goat fence (take two sets of hands to stretch the wire) & hired my best friends son to come dig the fence post holes. The extra parking space, chicken run, trellis, gate, goat jungle gym & feeding station & flower bed I did by myself. Setting the posts for my clothesline...

No, the garden area will be behind the barns (not in view). It’s where my papaw always had his at 🙂

So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had the chance to Journal, and man, oh, man, have there been lots of things. I finished the goat enclosure, feed station and “jungle gym”. Dale came out to live at the farm and Chippy moved outside to be a “real goat”. Although every morning, I let him out...

I think I may have confused you. My animals and my home are on the same land. I don’t have any other goats though, so I was taking him back to the farm that he came from so that he could socialize with other goats. The vet was concerned that he wouldn’t know how to bond with them properly when...

That’s why we’re aren’t doing that anymore. I could take him over there, put him in the paddock with everyone and not interact with another person, but we aren’t even doing that anymore. He ate some pellets from my hand the other day, and he’s down to three bottles a day, so we are making...

Luckily the goats will be kept far from my fruit trees. I was already warned about that. And good lord, is there NOTHING that they won’t try to eat? Except goat pellets. Apparently those he doesn’t have any interest in..... but everything else from cedar chips to shoes are in the menu 🤦🏻‍♀️
