It is so incredibly difficult to force myself to stay inside and do my homework for my Masters classes. It's not as though I have three midterms this week or anything... :lol:
Gah, I just want to go in the garage and snuggle with them! :weee
Like just getting him to agree with you and love the little ones just as much as you do. That's my tactic! ;)
Of course, then the problem is the "limit" becomes "what limit?" :lol:
:yuckyuck
Enablers, the lot of you!!! :gig
.... Nathan was already asking what sort of goats we're getting next year ("more Nubians? or what?" "No, a few Boers and maybe a Nigerian Dwarf or two!"). :lol:
I didn't know pine bark had tannins, I knew about the Lespedza plant and oak leaves. Perhaps we will buy some seed and spread it in the pasture for it to grow.
As there is virtually no lespedeza (or alfalfa for that matter) in Florida, do the lespedeza pellets function in the same way? Or should I just order some seed and sprout them as a way of naturally managing worms?
Sorry for hijacking the topic a bit... :hide
I'm getting so excited for Sunday! I can't wait! :celebrate
We finally got their pen set up tonight. Been so busy with the fence for the pasture that it got put off.
I have a question! It occurred to me that it does freeze at night here, but the garage doesn't get particularly cold (rarely...
I'm new to goats myself, but from what I understand there tends to be a tiny one when you have quads, and sometimes even with triplets. Perhaps she was just the smallest of the quads?
@Southern by choice: I haven't. I've been a bit busy with grad school and moving slowly, so I haven't made much progress on finding spools yet. :(
What do you think of the tire size from the semis? Too small?
Question!
I just found a CL ad for old semi tires, it turns out they're about 42" in diameter. I'm not sure if these are big enough for the kids to play on or not? I'm used to seeing tractor tires used, but I still haven't found any. These semi tires are free, so it couldn't hurt to see if...
We got about half of the fencing weaved through the forest on the right side of our three acre pasture from 2-5 yesterday, Nathan had already set the T-posts previously. Not bad, but we got chased out by the dark and had to go pick up hay for our llama anyways.
I'll post pictures as soon as we...
I will have plenty of pictures when we get them. Trust me, everyone must think my Facebook is run by my cats, so it'll be a good change for them to see goats. :lol:
I don't have any updated pictures from the breeder, just info. Everyone is doing well. Littlest black doe is eating well, but it...
We finally decided on names! The larger brown doe will be Ruby, the smaller brown doe will be Amethyst, the larger black doe will be Emerald, and the smaller black doe will be Sapphire. :D
I'm bringing them home on February 1st. :celebrate Nervous and excited. My other half will be gone...
@Southern by choice: That's what our's looks like for the most part. It's so thick that I wouldn't want to try and walk through it right now. Do you ever have problems with the jungle shorting/leaking the hot wires?
