    In between a harness, regular collar and a choke collar is a Martingale collar. It’s all I use. If it gets caught up in something it is loose enough for the dog to slip it off, but attach to the d ring ant tightens up enough not to slip off, but not choke. Really about the most humane collars...

    Hello, we are new to farm life

    Your dogs are puppies and think everyone/thing wants to play with them....after all who wouldn’t. Try starting them around the livestock on leash. Dogs all need leash training for trips to the vet or whatever as basic training anyway. You don’t want to show up at the vet with a 110 lb...

    my new goats are skidish. How do I fix this?

    And do it at the same time each day if possible. In a couple of weeks they will be waiting for you. Animals love routine, maybe more than humans. Right now they dont know you or what you want to do to them. They will learn. If you lock them in a small area, it speeds the process. They will...

    JHP Homestead’s Journal

    I like it. The weight of the Branson let’s me do more work with less horsepower. It doesn’t just spin on the surface.

    Grants mini herd

    It is about 8 foot deep if completely full, but it seems t hang out between 1/2-2/3 full most of the time. The Highlands love the cool weather. They have monstorously thick hides and all that hair. Now the British Park/Wagyu...he’s kind of a baby and gets cold. If you look out in the field...

    Surprise Dexter/Black Angus Pregnancy?

    BTW, I know minis, everything I have is mini breed, highland, mini Hereford, mini British Park, my bull is crossed with Wagyu, but 1/2 the mini British. He was 27 lbs at birth. I’m trying to wait until my heifers are about 16-17 months to let the boys and girls together.

    Grants mini herd

    I had the pond built and yes it’s on my land. Last winter a local excavation guy really needed some work and dug it out and built the dam for $3000. Bargain. Worked out well for him, he got about 4 more jobs out of it. I’m 10 minutes to the local businesses in town. It’s a great location.

    Surprise Dexter/Black Angus Pregnancy?

    Looks like she’s pregnant to me. I’d have her tested. If so you’ve got 2 problems, she’s young and small and Angus is significantly larger breed wise than your Dexter. You need to get a vet involved now and she’s getting close to due. Keep a very close eye on her at least 2x a day. Not being...

    Grants mini herd

    You can definitely tell who rules at my house. What the 2 year old wants....the 2 year old gets. Not really, but she is well loved. She knows when grampa means no though.

    Grants mini herd

    Not my house, the neighbor behind. That shot is off the back porch. It’s 20x20 covered and a favorite place of mine on nice days. The small house is my granddaughters play house. Same colors as ours and her favorite place.

    Grants mini herd

    Well, looks like back to work and on the road for me. There won’t be much from me as my wife has the “herd” for a while. At least I can make some $ for the next project or 2.
