We use a forked stick to pin the rabbit's neck to the ground and use a .22 short shot deringer to the back of the head, just below the ears. Shoot forward towards the middle of the eyes. Quick, easy, no do-overs.
My hubby hunts on a dairy farm property and the farmer offered to sell him some holstein males next spring for $45 each. He says that the beef is good but I will have to bottle feed them. Anyone do this? Did it work out for you or is it too much trouble?
Does anyone use a horse barn/run-in shed type structure for their goats? I am thinking of getting 4-6 nigis and I was looking at a 12x24 with one side open for the goats that I could build a gate on to close them in at night and the other side closed off with a door for a milk room/feed storage...
Does anyone have a prefab shed for housing their goats? If so, what size? We are getting 6 or 7 nigis in 2 months and need to build some kind of "barn" for them. We are thinking of doing a shed....we looked at a 12x30' but the one my hubby likes is $11000. No, I'm not kidding.

Thanks Pat, we are meeting with a builder that lives above the barn he built so hopefully he can do it on or under budget. We have several different sizes and such to show him so he can get an idea of what we want, his mother is a good friend of ours and will be living right down the road from...
We are looking to build a barn for our goats with a milking room. We want to do a single story and put 2 lean tos on it. The dogs will go on one side with access to the pasture with the goats and the ducks and chickens will go on the other with access to the back pasture/wooded area for some...
Well, our original plan was to use the no climb horse field fencing with the 2x4 spacing and run a strand of electric around the middle to try to keep them from rubbing it.....then BIL threw a hissy fit and called daddy. He is making my life miserable.....say a prayer for me.
