good for you!!!

I've thought about the talipia too. We have a pond in the back pasture that we used to stock catfish in, but it hasn't had fish in it for at least 20 years. Last year with our drought it pretty much dried up, but is almost full again. From what I've read talipia are supposed to be good at cleaning ponds/lakes up because they eat all the plants. But I'm having trouble finding someone who will stock it and not have to drive hundreds of miles.

I'd like to start breeding rabbits again to put in the freezer, but I need the freezer first. I've been doing a lot of research on becoming self-sustaining and would like to work more towards that. Chickens are my first start, now goats. Rabbits will probably be next.

Just wanted to stop in and say HI! I am very jealous of your beautiful goat, Miracle. I hope you have a great day today. Take care.

Well, heck if all we had to do was move to your place . . . can I bring my goats and leave my two-legged kids ? :fl

Wanted to check in and say that I am still here. There is not much going on around the homestead getting ready for school and setting up for fall.
I will try to get pictures tomorrow of the gang and to show you how well Miracle is doing
