They are here and gorgeous! We had a 3 1/2 hour car ride and not a single bark or growl. They were scared to get out of the jeep, but we were patient and it took treats and patience, but we got them both to the kennel, with hubby carrying the 2nd one the last 100 yards or so. This was not a...

Huge update (trumpets blaring!!!!) :::Tomorrow I am going to drive 8+hours round trip to pick up 2 LGD ladies! The previous owners have health issues and with heavy hearts have sold all their livestock and these 2 beautiful pyrenees are the last to leave to new homes. They are so bored and...

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel as though I Have known you for years because I have read so many of your posts. My heart hurts for you. Big ugly crying.

The papers were in the mail for the registration! So exciting!

Tango is in the feeder try it now. I might have to get my kid out here to post the video LOL

Ok it is picture day. I give up on the ohone and will just take out the laptop LOL. I think i found someone to shear them and she is willing to drive 3 hours! I have clippers and she will show me how to use them and give some pointers on how best to manage to get the job done and have a good...

DH says I should wait til spring for getting a big dog ;(

I live in ohio, but we are taking trip to florida in october. Could it wait til then? I would love to have one of these dogs for my goats, has he been around other animals? We have cats and chickens. How much are you asking for him? He has nice markings.

How do you manage them in the winter? Can they stay in the tank if the ice has a hole? What about plants for the poop and algae issues?

OMG the goats are here! I will take some pics tomorrow if I can get them up close enough LOL. They are a bit skittish, but getting settled in a bit. Another chapter of the story about to unfold!

BIG purchase yesterday to buy fence panels and the fedex guy almost got a hug when he arrived! He brought the fence panel connectors and it was like seeing an angel arrive in blue LOL. We spent almost $1000 on fencing, hay and misc livestock stuff, just this weekend. And that is with my...

Jeff ordered the things for at the corners and joins of the goat panels...they should be here friday. This fence will go in our yard and connect with the fence that will go on the hillside. "Wire panel connector hinge" is what they are called and we are pretty excited to see how they work. My...

Ok so busy these last couple days! I put $550 down on 5 Pygora goats yesterday! They are gorgeous silver grey with curled hair and soft silky shine. OMG not enough adjectives to describe how beautiful they are. Even Jeff is excited we are getting them. He thinks they will make awesome...

Update: When I took the chickens to the Amish lady for butchering, I could get only 9 of them in the crate, I had 10 ready, but there was not enough room. ;)....that was my first indicator of something good. Then when i get there she was like wow they are big! When i went to pick them...

No it is ok. I want it mainly for my own musings and thoughts and not a discussion thread of what i should not be doing. Be certain: i will post if something doesn't go as planned.

Well apparently I can't because I need your direction to close that as well. lol I respect everyone advice, but this thread is for me to sort out all of what I know from what i learn here vs., What I currently supplies I already have, what i already know DOES NOT work, What my Dad wanted to...

Please lock this thread. Delete if you have to. This journal is not what i had in mind at all. This in my mind MY musings. IT really makes me upset that the people that i read their posts for advice are the ones that are now putting their 2 cents in telling me not to. If I wanted advice I...

sigh ok. :confused: I got a ton of work to do today. GRRr but first I must answer. My portable goat pen will be huge--Like 16'x 4' goat and sheep panels and a gate on either side so they move to the next plot. Jeff found some neat corkscrew looking things for corner posts: Wire...

I like the idea of growing alfalpha on a section of the land that is currently old pasture. I can cut it and save some for later, as well as allow them to graze. I don't want to buy a lot of hay when I can just grow it myself, especially when I can cultivate an area and avoid mowing it. For...
