Hello from Tennessee! I started out on BYC also (I'm TwoShepherds over there). I pined for horses for years and years. We kinda sorta could keep them where we live now, but I'm too old and practical (and short on time lol) to make the investment. When my kids are old enough and if they are...

Hello from Southeast, TN! What kind of animals do you have? :)

Here's another hello from Tennessee! I love your goats. We have Nigerians also.

Hello from Southeast Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more about you and your farm. :)

Hello from Tennessee! Goats are so much fun. You have a nice looking bunch! :)

Hello from Southeast, Tennessee. Congratulations on your new farm in the country. Be sure to post pictures of your cows when you get them. :)

Hello from Tennessee!

I agree!

Thanks for the info! Both the water trough and the heated box sound like they'd work great. I have some hope now that I won't need a heat lamp. I'm giving the breeder a break from my questions, but soon I will ask him what kind of environment the kids are used to. We're going to keep them as...

So, I never thought I'd have bottle babies unless it was an emergency situation, and I certainly never thought I'd have bottle babies in the winter, but we fell in love with and put deposits down on two Nigerian dwarf bucklings that will come to us at the age of three weeks. What were we...

Hello and welcome from Southeast TN! :)

well, I guess we know why you couldn't find her ligaments now, lol!

I just found a used calf-hutch on FB marketplace. Planning on using it for two Nigerian Dwarf bucks in the spring. I think it's going to work perfectly. My other structures are a pain in the butt to move, but I can drag this one around all by myself. Here are my kids (my human ones, lol) and...

I can't wait until ours are old enough to breed. :) Looking forward to seeing more pics of Huckleberry (love the name, BTW)!

Wow, he is a cutie. Congratulations!!!

I’m new to goats, but I’ve heard that squirting them with a squirt gun or spray bottle when they misbehave can be helpful.

Wow, that sure would be a surprise! I can't wait to see how many she has. Did you tell the breeder? Do they know who the sire might be? There's no chance a larger breed buck got to her is there?

Hello from Southeast Tn! Congratulations on your land. Looking forward to pics when the animals are all moved in and settled.

Edit to add: To the best of my knowledge, pigs are happier when you have at least two, and three acres should be enough land. We have five acres, but the pig field is around 1/2 acre. I probably won't have pigs after this year as the breeder I get them from is taking a break from farming, and...

I've raised three American Guinea hog gilts as feeder pigs, a smallish heritage breed. I don't breed them and I've never had any boars or barrows. My current two are about 1.5 years old, and they are pretty agreeable. They can be pushy when food is around, but I've never felt threatened or...
