How are the ants getting in the cage? If it has legs you can put the legs in tuna cans (or similar ) with water, ants wont swim. If you have hanging cages you can smear vaseline in their trail (make it thick ) and that provides a barrier they wont cross.

Old wool sweaters are great for this purpose too, warm and dry even in the rain, and easy to come by at the thrift store.

:love Absolutely beautiful!

She's a cutie :). You look right at home on her too. It's nice that your small enough to ride her so you can do a little schooling if she needs it. I'll bet your daughter loves her!

Use a weight tape, you can get one from a feed or tack shop. You measure around their girth area, and the increments on the tape will tell you the weight.

Thank you Elevan

So sorry...:hugs

I haven't had goats since I was a kid but my best friend and I used to walk all over the place, into town, through the park... she with her Great Dane and me with my big ol' Nubian wether. He heeled as well as any dog (minus the automatic sit ). In my opinion a halter or a slip chain will work...

That sounds reasonable...:)

Pigs will do a fantastic job of rototilling your garden in the fall, but I'm a little skeptical of that happening in the winter, at least, where I live the ground is like iron come January, and if you can even find it, a pick will just bounce off it.

It doesn't look like you have enough clearance in the gullet for your horses withers.

Oh, so that's why it was a little different today! I guess I'm not real observant, I thought my computer just had a spasm or something :P

Craigs List and Habitat for Humanity ReStores are great for getting inexpensive building materials also.

chinbunny, I defer to your knowledge on this. I was only going on the one thing I read, obviously not enough info. Thank you for the clarification.

chinbunny, I think to be fair there needs to be a little clarification on the link I posted. I read this persons explanation of their setup, and : 1) They do not have a colony type setup. The bucks and does are kept separate 2). Does are taken out of the pasture to kindle, and caged until the...

I helped a neighbor catch one of her loose emus that was on my property once. My horses were snorting and blowing and staring at a huge boulder. I went to investigate what the problem was and saw this goofy big eyed thing with a long neck come periscoping up above the boulder. Now this was...

Funny posts! :gig I had a trainer once whose stallion pooped in the exact spot every time (not in the stall either). By cleanup time in the afternoon it would be a tower.

It's pathetic how clueless some people can be. When I was a teenager my best friend and I used to walk our pets into town to the Dairy Queen. Hers was a big brindle Great Dane and mine was my big Nubian wether. "Reuben" heeled on my left side as well as any dog and people would slow down and...

Gorgeous George !

Wys, could you give dimensions for the pull board? Specifically, how much the opening narrows down? Thanks!
