    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Does the home page picture of the week have to be manually changed? I still see Harriet the goat.

    Brand-new goat owner, large abcess issues, please help!!

    Welcome to the world of goats. While I do not know your friend, I take no one's word when they adamantly say that a lump or abscess isn't CL. Unless the goat was tested and there are current lab results on paper to prove negativity, there is always a chance that the lump was more than an...

    Lyme Disease On The Rise

    I always thought it would never happen to me, but yesterday, my Newfie was diagnosed with Lymes. In spite of my best intentions for prevention with appropriate product, it still happened. I first noticed a lethargy with her and then a favoring of her front leg. When I groomed her last week, I...

    Pesky Neighbor!!

    Since your husband doesn't have the chutzpah that you seem to possess, why don't you talk to this woman and explain, again, why you don't want your animals fed corn? I can't help but think this would solve your problem in short order. Putting up a sign is only going to antagonize and invite...

    Post Castration, decomp smell

    I'm a little confused...they were surgically castrated and then the vet put a band on the scrotum? Only reason I ask is that doesn't make sense with surgical castration. Under normal circumstances, the incision is made, testicles and are removed and then the scrotum is left open for drainage...

    Feed store work requirements

    20kids gave you great advice. If you lived in my area, I could get you a job in a heartbeat. I go to a privately owned feed store and they cannot find any responsible people to work for them. Trust me when I tell you, it's not the owners that are difficult or hard to work for. All they want...

    is copper sulfate something you keep in your first aid kit?

    I don't keep or use copper sulfate, so I can't comment on that particular product. I will say that if you want a product that, I swear, cures practically anything, try Nu Stock. It's only three ingredients, sulfur, pine oil and mineral oil. It's very affordable...less than $15 for a 12 oz...

    I don't know how old you are or if you remember Peter Pan, but the dog in the story was a Newfoundland and her name was Nana.

    I love my paca

    While not highly publicized, using alpaca for meat is not uncommon. I've had it and it's very lean and tasty. It ranks up there as being a very healthy meat due to the low fat content.

    Updated PICS !!! Newfie/St Bernard Pup is HUGE

    Congratulations on that handsome boy! I wish you the very best with him although I don't think you're going to need it! I have a Newfie and if Max is anything like her you will think you have finally found the perfect dog. (I'm not biased) ;) From a Newfie owner I can tell you from the...

    Need a nearby vet....Allegheny County PA anyone?

    Yes Catahoula, the world is very small...too small for me at times! Nice to meet you, too. Ask you husband if he is familiar with Rural Valley? That's where I live. Feathernfiber, I use Dr. Nadarajah from their office. She's a very small woman in stature but quite capable! ThornyRidgeII...

    Need a nearby vet....Allegheny County PA anyone?

    Kittanning Veterinary Hospital is in Kittanning. I use them and have been very happy with their large animal vets. You can take you goats to them, or they come to you, although I don't know how far they travel. If their office isn't convenient for you, you might call them and see who they...
