we ended up with three blacks, three whites and one blue. we're keeping at least the blue since she's appears to be a female then were were given a lop ear rabbit, not sure exactly what she is yet.
The people we got them from said they were pure breed, so I have no clue since we're new to rabbits. We got them in mid May and were told they were sister and brother and 2-3 months old. she just had her first litter on Sunday and this is what we got. It's pretty impossible to get a great...
Mom and Dad do look pretty much like the on you show Bunnylady, just not as much white. I need to call the local people we got them from and find out what is mixed in there. I didn't figure we should have been getting any pinkies in the mix only little grey critters. I counted again this...
Our newest addition to our little growing farm has blessed us with her first litter. All seven of then, we didn't expect there would be so many with the first litter, but are very happy about it! Some will be meat rabbits, some of the does will be kept for breeding purposes. we are brand new...
He's doing good so far. Of course there's some animosity out there. We've had, Duh, the steer since he was a week old so he's my bottle baby and still thinks he's a dog and we've had Minnie, the short horn cross since she was about 5 weeks so, so she was a bottle baby for a while too. So when...
Good deal i've had two people say he would destroy the pasture, which is a little over an acre and one say heck no when he's done with your weeds i'd take him for a few weeks to eat mine down LOL.
I was told that Moses (our new llama) will dig up the pasture roots and all when he's eating and eventually nothing will grow out there BLAH. Not what i wanted to hear, so i decided to come to the experts.
Is he gonna just pull up all the grass roots and all and we'll have a barren pasture?
Well, here we go again, but this time instead of getting cows for the first time we've adopted Moses the Llama.
They had him in a temporary home here for the humane society. Not sure what happened to his previous owner, but i believe he passed away. So Moses and two other Llamas were on the...
We're roasting here in Idaho. I run the laundry and dish washer at night as i get ready to go to bed. Everything for the past week has been made on the grill or cooked late at night for the next night to go on the grill lol.
The animals are miserable. Fryer chicks are bad enough trying to...
Here is Oscar B. Bartholomew!
He's about six weeks old now. He's a Simmental angus bull.
Duh and Minnie aren't necessarily impressed with him yet. I'm getting ready to introduce them since the first time around he bolted through the hot wire and they thought he was an interactive toy...
ok so the next question is how much hay at a time to start? we normally feed them morning and night and i've been giving about a fleck of hay mid day. Start with a fleck at morning and night and some grain at lunch to supplement for a bit? It's not cold, but I'm not sure what ratio to start...
This gets so confusing. We were told by a friend who raises black angus to keep them on grain until they are a year old because their rumen (SP) were too young to handle just pasture and they would be grow fatter but not bigger if we only fed pasture. He also said through winter keep the grain...
I have more questions, imagine that!!
Duh is now almost 10 months old and Minnie is just five weeks behind him. The grass in the pasture is all but gone now. We are giving them two gallons of 14% grain a day and adding in alfalfa hay as well. How many flecks of hay is enough per day? I...
Hi AlL!!!!
Duh kids as I call them, are getting bigger.
One of the pilots I work with is a black angus cattleman We were talking today and I was asking him some questions about duh kids and told him we were calf stupid. He suggested that they get grain much longer, we stopped feeding them...
Duh is the black angus. A little history on his name LOL. His momma had a prolapsed uterus during his birth and so it was long and he spent too much time in the birthing canal so he's a little "slow." Roys' brother suggest Duh because they dont' like that word. I said anytime I've said Duh...
