Joe, I thought you were talking abt me until I read, Texans! :gig

It would be ok with me if you don't mind an 8 yr old and 5 yr old boys running around looking at everything.:weee

I have seen folks place climbable objects inside pens and pastures for goats to allow them to climb and play.

I'm with promiseacres and we both live in the same state. If I decide to breed in winter, I like to shoot for an above average day like 45 or 50degs if possible. You may not have the high temps to deal with, but I wait for a break in the heat too and shoot for a 70deg day especially if it's been...

And, I forgot to add, there is a young lady on here from Northern Minnesota too. @samssimonsays She used to have rabbits, but I believe focuses on goats now. I haven't seen her for a while, but maybe just haven't been looking hard enough.

Welcome to BYH from the Hoosier State! Sorry to be slow in responding, but not on much Saturdays and Sundays as those are pretty busy days for me. Good luck in your rabbiteering endeavors. :thumbsup

Welcome from the Hoosier state! Ok, I'll be the first to say it, though others are thinkin' it too. Ol' CITY GIRL maybe, but not OLD. ;) Enjoy BYH. Lots of good folks and duscussion.

They say rabbits are pretty intelligent. Not sure who "they" are. A lot of rabbiteers put a tin can in with them so they have something to play with when they get bored. Mine all have one. I also try to avoid startling them by coming in the shed talking or making too much noise by having...

@Mini Horses, I quit trying to sell to customers. I didn't market them or advertise much when I did. I had 4 does and 2 bucks, and abt this time last year I decided to scale back to half. At first I had many customers trying it out. Most had raised back in the day or liked to eat them when...

I have been substituting some green tea for coffee lately. It doesn't have near the caffeine benefit, but is supposed to be good for inflammation and antibodies. So, I have some in the morning and again after supper. IF I don't feel some results, in time I will switch back to coffee. I am...

Guys I know or have worked for are on their own land, but I heard a guy say the other day that he leased a hay field for $150-175/acre. I don't know if that was for the season or what time frame that involved.

@RollingAcres I am doing real well. I'm observing the weight restriction, but haven't slowed down hardly at all. Jill and my oldest, Heath, did my chores first afternoon after surgery, but I went out same evening to check on the rabbits, and was back to doing chores the next day. Thanks for asking.

@Baymule I think I can smell it baking. It needs to jell up just a bit and then put a big scoop or two of ice cream on it!

:welcome from the Hoosier State! What parts are you from? I know someone will say it, so I may as well. We like pics. Pics of animals, barns, pastures, fields, kids/grandkids, trucks, tractors. Just abt anything...:thumbsup

Brilliant ppl in Medicine giving credit where credit is due always makes me feel like we're not so advanced (and naive) we believe we're doing this all ourselves. There are great doctors and nurses that devote their careers to humanity, but it's always reassuring to hear the Great Physician...

You are correct in that there is no profit of any kind sending rabbits to a processor. I began processing rabbits around age 12 with my Dad, but it can be tough. I try not to get at all attached to them. The mothers take care of them, and then they pretty well take care of themselves until grow...

Back to "normal" with some help of occasdional pain med. Can drive ok and been sleeping in bed since Night #1. After a month weight restriction is lifted.

Welcome from Indiana:frow We have meat rabbits, which can be done on virtually no land. You can do chickens and goats on a couple acres depending on dry paddocks and rotating a pasture if you can fence in that acre your home isn't on. Quite a bit can be done on an acre or two.

Have some time to visit newer posts while I recover a little from this hernia repair. Sounds like a good dog. :thumbsup
