Last weeks project. New fence along the front of the property.

Sold my mini flock. We are still raising the dogs, Doodles and I’ve moved to plant production. We will be opening a U-pick berry operation. My wife couldn’t eat the beef we raised here, mental, not quality.

I didn’t. I wound up buying a dog flea and tick collar. Worked great. But I also wound up getting rid of the goats. 1 of my dogs hated them and I couldn’t break him. He is one of my main breeding males, so he stays, the goats go.

It will have berries that the birds will eat. It is toxic and contains cyanide in the leaves and stems.

I have topical ivermectin for my cattle. Will it control fleas and ticks on goats? Anyone know the dosage?

I agree, she’s not pregnant any longer. Sorry

Do you have the bull? Is he for sale too if so?

Thank you for the offer. I will keep it in mind.

The neighbor has a goat that come over to visit. The other day I handed him a handful of hay. He nuzzled through it to pick out a leaf to eat 1st 😆

Consider an Akbash.

I put up 4x4 woven wire, smaller openings at the bottom,when I fenced. I don’t think fences will be an issue.

So I have a question, posted in goats too. I have some weeds the cattle don’t like, thistle, mullion, etc. would 2-3 goats clean up the weeds or should I keep battling them chemically?

I have a few cattle. My pastures have some weeds that the cattle won’t, or are reluctant to eat. So I’ve thought about adding 2-3 goats to the herd to clean up the stuff the cattle don’t like. Am I nuts and should I just fight the weeds, or would a few goats cure my problem by eating the...

Looks like joist hangers will be your friend. 🙂
