Thank you for the advice! I had pigs and chickens before the purchase so they are in makeshift areas for now. I'm wanting to add some goats and a few horses. I raise meat birds twice a year as well. I didn't think about feed store ads or Craigslist. That sounds promising!

I was wondering if anyone knows of a farm store to order equipment and from that has discount/better pricing than Tractor Supply or places like that? We just bought some farm property and I am wanting to try to be more efficient so we can buy things in bulk, etc.

Thank you!

They get in there and hold the piglets till they fall asleep. It's so cute!

I am so sorry! I haven't been on here in awhile. Our girl is doing fantastic! We bought a male awhile back and she got pregnant and now has 7 cute little babies. They are are all doing so good!

😂 Oh man, that would be crazy if she has piglets! That sounds fantastic! We don't have a bagger on our mower but I will rake the clippings and give them to her!

Thank you! She was with other females. The man said he had a boar but he got rid of him. All the other females had babies. She was the only one without any so I don't think she is pregnant.

I just got an adult female American Guinea Hog. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to take care of her? I read they are pasture pigs but I only have an acre so she is in a 20' x 16' pen with a shelter made from pallets so she don't have to sleep in the mud. I could only find 14%...

Cool! We are just getting started in our journey with meat rabbits. I am looking forward to the day we have some home grown meat in the freezer! I think that is a splendid idea with feeding both raw and kibble. I can't imagine trying to figure out the nutrition needs of 3 types of dogs!

Thanks for the info. I don't want to mess him up so I will probably give him some good kibble and then transition to the raw food diet. That way I'll be able to research it better before I try it out😃

We are considering getting a Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland cross for our mini farm. We have chickens and meat rabbits so I am wanting to switch from a kibble diet to raw food or even cooking the rabbits and chicken for our current adult dog. My question is would a diet like I just described be a...

I think Rex.

He's 11 weeks old.

I am just getting started on my meat rabbit herd. So far I have got a New Zealand White buck and 2 Californian does from one breeder and then 2 broken New Zealand does and what I was told is a Red New Zealand buck from another breeder. From googling I am thinking that maybe he is a meat mutt...

Thank you. That was very informative. I personally like the regular jersey and everything you said makes sense. We are wanting to have a small herd of beef cows too so I would prefer to be able to breed the milk cow to the beef bull so full size Jerseys makes more sense that way like you mentioned.

My husband and I are hoping to be buying a farm in the near future and we are wanting to get a milk cow. I know a little about Jerseys and really like the way their milk tastes and how much cream they give. I have not been around the mini Jersey yet and so was wondering what the differences are...

He is a lot cleaner now that I've had him. I've never seen him pee on himself like I have seen bucks do. I will give him a bath and see if that takes away the smell. Thank all of you so much!

@babsbag I have never done that before but I will definitely consider it!

I've had him for about 4 weeks now. Thanks for letting me know that about wethers mounting does! That would have scared me! Lol
