My current dogs were not raised following their advice but I did love on them and make friends with them from the moment I got them. They did a little house time too, but not 90 days of it. My boy liked chickens for way too long...18 months....but my other ones were livestock safe by 8 months...

I bought one designed to sit on the ground and it was 15' so with the pony wall the back end is probably about 20' as my ground isn't level. My last one was 11' but this one is a little longer and therefore taller...no idea why.

Yes, the language is rough for sure, not what I like to see or read. But the admins have good hearts and will go above and beyond helping people so I wear my blinders and look the other way. The files on the page are full of good info and a lot of time went into writing them and why? Because...

Hopefully this doesn't go against any rules but there is a FB group that I suggest you join. It is a different way of raising them, NOT hands off at all. Their advice is priceless IMO and my next pup will be raised using their methods. People that have raised them this way have nothing but...

It is TALL. We had to rent a lift to do ours. That is similar to mine...same width but mine is only 48' long. Trusses are 4' OC.

Mine was a clearspan brand from Farmtec. We had 14" of heavy snow that night and I think that it would have been ok but it was built on a pony wall and one side wall was compromised already. The dirt on one side was fill and not compacted enough and it was already leaning. The snow put extra...

My EEG came back normal as I expected. But anyone that knows me knows that I am far from "normal". I haven't had anymore episodes but things are just not quite right. I find myself very emotional over little things (not me at all) and detached from other things. And I suddenly don't like being...

Traffic in CA stinks most everywhere. Up in my neck of the woods it isn't bad unless there is an accident or SNOW. Tuesday we got snow and the major pass into OR was closed in both directions and people and big rigs were stuck ALL NIGHT and most of the next day. What a major mess. We all had...

No female doctor. I actually only saw a doctor for a few minutes as they were sending me home.

@Bruce, it would also depend on what hospital I was at. I was at Shasta Regional. I told them Mercy but the ambulance got redirected to the other one due to some major accident that was taking over the ER at Mercy.

Unfortunately I am at the opposite end of the state otherwise I would look you up. Have a safe trip

@Ridgetop. Thank you. That is some of the best advice I have heard in a long time and it actually made me cry. I have a lot on my plate and I feel ok physically but I am trying to take it easy and it is hard as it isn't in my makeup to do that. Getting milk from my friends for the babies is a...

I did this mini breeding right, started out with a good nigi buck from @ragdollcatlady and then added a few more does and a new buckling from another one of her bucks so I have some diverse genetics as well. They milk well and have good size teats even for hand milking but I just have too many...

I will be getting the EEG in a few weeks but it will only be a short one. I also have a phone appointment with my doctor scheduled for next week so I will start there and see where it goes. I can't be away for three days as there is no one to feed the critters and Mia won't let anyone near her...

I do think that stress has a lot to do with it but I am not usually too bothered with stuff and I roll with things pretty well. I work myself half to death but it isn't always in a stressful kind of way. Having this unknown ailment is causing me more stress than anything else in my life; I need...

@Bruce I have no warning at all. There is something else going on and it has been happening all summer. Just brief moments of things looking weird, sounding weird. I can't explain it. I don't get dizzy or sick and it is literally just for a few seconds. I used to get migraines and would have...

Fortunately I wasn't driving. 10 minutes later I would have been behind the wheel.

@ragdollcatlady Thank you. My first trip to the ER was on the way home from Merced. We were at Taco Bell when I decided it was time for a check out. Friend took me to ER in Modesto. I spent the night there but they found NADA.

They do suspect seizures. They last anywhere from 2 minutes to 15 minutes, and they did tell me not to drive but since I am home alone all week that is next to impossible. I have to buy hay and other feed and other errands to run, like doctor visits. I need to get an EEG done, but it is a two...

And the cover is on. I have side walls to enclose and kidding pens to reinstall but at least it will stay dry. Mia's puppies are due the day before Thanksgiving so having the barn put back together before that is my goal. She needs a place to whelp. I have been having some health issues and...
