I've had Nigerian Dwarf goats for about a year. We live in hot, humid Tennessee. So far, I've found parasites and the threat of dewormer resistance to be the biggest drawback of owning goats. The time and expense of sending in goat pellets for fecal exams is not my favorite goat chore. I would...

Wow, great pictures and beautiful animals! ❤️ Looking forward to hearing more about them!

Hello and welcome! Sounds like you have a great farm and a lot of variety! We love pictures if you feel like posting any.

Hello from Tennessee! :)

I enjoyed the pictures. You have a lovely farm! :)

Hello! We are in Southeast Tennessee also! I love the title of your thread. I ask myself that question all the time. LOL. We have a small property--5 acres but only about 2.5-3 acres are properly fenced. We have had chickens, quail, American Guinea Hogs (feeders not breeders, haha), and Nigerian...

Hello from Tennessee! What kinds of animals are you planning to keep? :) I started out with chickens, then moved to pigs, quail, and goats. I found myself stretched too thin however, so I'm focusing on just goats and chickens for now.

Turkeys sound interesting. If I had the coop space I would love to get a few someday.

Hello from Tennessee! That sounds really interesting, hope to hear more about your sheep!

Hello from Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more about your animals!

Hello from Tennessee. We have goats and chickens (and pigs...for a while longer anyway). I hope you get an answer to your rabbit question. There are lots of knowledgeable and helpful people on the forum. We have a single indoor pet rabbit (that turned up under our porch and we adopted), but I...

Hello from Tennessee! :)

Hello from Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more about your rabbits, and your goats and chickens when the time comes. :)

That sounds exciting! Keep us updated! Mine will be a year old in April. I was hoping to breed them in the spring, but I think they may be a bit small yet.

Hello from Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more about you and your animals! :)

Your sheep are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your flocks.

Congratulations on your new doelings! They are pretty. What are your plans for your does? Do you want to milk them someday or are they strictly pets? Last June, we bought 3 Nigerian does, and this Christmas we got 2 bucklings so we can breed and milk the females (hopefully!) when they are old...

We have ours for feeders. They are a small breed, but we don't eat tons of pork, and still have meat left over from the gilt we processed last year (March 2021). Everyone has different needs though; they're not everyone's cup of tea. They are docile, which was important to me as I need to be...

Hello from Southeast Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more about your sheep. :)

Hello and welcome from Southeast Tennessee! Congratulations on your move. Your new property looks lovely. :) We are only about 5 miles from the GA line. Right now we have chickens, goats, and pigs. I have guinea hogs, a smaller docile heritage breed. They are a lot of fun, but I'm probably...
