Does anyone use AI for breeding? Seems like there would be a better choice of bucks that way. Is it difficult to learn? Expensive? Effective?

:love There are almost opposites. Black with brown markings and brown with dark markings. They are very sweet looking.

Our NDs Opal and Onyx.We will breed them this winter or spring. Onyx

i was just reading about Chaffhaye and saw this FAQ. you could tell them about chaffhaye and see if that is a better option for them. Will Chaffhaye reduce hay-belly? Yes. Animals have less intestinal fill because less Chaffhaye is required to achieve nutritional needs. Within ten days of...

Congrats! I would like to know their weights.

by Red Maple, I assume you mean maples that have red colored leaves (ornamentals), not the "Red Maple" (acer rubrum)???

Countryside Organics has 50# for $52.50. there is also good info about how much different species might eat if given free choice and how to apply it as a fertilizer.

You guys are lucky. it's rare to have that kind of peace of mind. Seems like I'm always wondering if they have some parasites/worms. Perhaps you can share some of your practices? dry lot, rotating fields, food, supplements...

This thread is for anyone worried about giving their livestock any Monsanto products. I recently was looking for some straw for bedding and found everyone around me was using herbicides on their straw. I can only figure that means they are growing Monsanto grains. If I were to use that straw as...

This is great. We were having trouble getting straw that wasn't treated with herbicides. We want to be able to put our hay in the compost pile and use that in the garden. In the winter they are ok with out bedding too? They do love napping on their new playground that we built them. Thanks for...
