    IS this even a farm? Canesister's 2026

    Lots of good suggestions there. I had both of my parents with dementia with me for a while. I'll never forget the day my dad asked me when I was going to go home. LOL - I had to remind him he was in MY house!

    I had a tiny pygmy once that barely weighed about the same as your little one. Kids named her Thumbelina, lol.

    January Freeze-a-thon

    Ya'll are really catching it. I feel for ya and I get it! Every year when the temps get this bad I swear I'm selling everything. And every year when we have those triple digit days, I also swear I'm also selling everything. Why can't I just do it?

    Warm, tepid or cold water in winter?

    My winter storm wasn't nearly as bad as everyone else's winter storm and I'm thankful for that. Hauling water is a _itch no matter what, where or how much. I was hauling 20 gallons of warm water at a time. I moved a smallish trough into the barn. I guess being bored from being inside all day...

    Baymule’s Journal

    I saw that same story. Has apple pie overtaken brownies as the preferred comfort food?

    Coffee anyone ?

    ZERO? As in really ZERO? That's ridiculous. I'd opt out of that for sure!

    Splayed Toes

    Totally forgot about this: My teenage neighbor shows market wethers. They never had goats until last year when she got into FFA. She called me one day to give her some advice on clipping one of her goats so next door I went. I was looking at the goat on the stand, and I noticed that he was...

    Splayed Toes

    Wish I had words of wisdom but I've never dealt with it to that degree. Occasionally if I'm way behind on trims I'll have one that starts a bit of splay but after a good trimming they resolve. If he has other outstanding qualities, I "might" consider breeding him to a doe with outstanding...

    Doe keeps showing sings of kidding then not

    How does her udder look Most of my does udders will blow up within about 6 - 12 hours or so of kidding - give or take a few hours. Ligaments will literally feel like they disappeared. If she's not too fat you can probably see the hollowing out of the area on both sides of the tail. Does can...

    Fast-growing AGH pigs

    Mine were mostly pastured but always got some grain. Mostly because I like a good lard pig to have a good bit of lard, lol. Plus, I always had mixed groups. Mama's raising babies and babies that needed to grow. Also makes them a bit friendlier if they know you have goodies.
