So the parents don't like the idea of killing and eating? haha When I breed my Percentage Kikos in Sep. they will have their kids in Feb. and the bucks will be ready to eat by Oct. I can't wait.It's not to hard (for me anyway) to kill and eat an animal if you don't name it of love it. Of course you take good care of and treat it right, but if you don't really love it then its not to hard. I also want to do meat rabbits, but that's later.

Do you and 3alpacas own all the farm animals at your place? Is it all you guys doing that stuff?

My dad would have no problem with it, I think he'd like it, but my mons a bit of a fuss budget about things like that. She doesn't really understand the mentality of it, she's more of a "animals are pets" kind of person.

Yes, we own everything.

I'm glad my parents know that animals are food. lol Thant's awesome that you guys own everything!! Was it your idea to own the animals or have you always had animals?

Years ago, we had an actual farm with sheep, goats, chickens, cows and pigs (not all at the same time). Then for a while we didn't have anything at all, which is basically all I remember, since when we had all the animals I was really little. We had chickens for most of my life, and geese and ducks. A couple years ago my mom decided I should be involved in an activity of some sort, and thought I'd like 4-H. Somehow I came to the conclusion I wanted to be in goat 4-H, and therefore wanted goats Surprisingly, I was allowed to get some! Ownedby3alpacas got alpacas because she saw a TV spot about them and thought they were cute, and then the next time we went to TSC we saw a bag of alpaca grain...she figured it was fate, so she went and got alpacas That may not be 100% accurate, she may have done something differently. Buuuuut, thats the way I remember it

that's pretty much what happened... I did visit an alpaca farm before i got some though so i knew sort of what i was getting into. oh, and then i found 2 free geldings so i had to get them.

The alpacas all have birthdays this month! Desmond will turn 1 on Saturday, Kripto will be 2 on the 10th and Luke will be 10 on the 25th. I didn't have the money to register Desi before he turned 1 so now the price has gone up to do that but i will be doing that as soon as i get a job just in case i ever get the money to show him. Krip and Luke are both already registered but they won't be shown ever HankTheTank, we need to have a paca birthday party!!!

That's really cool. I hope you guys get your chickens.

I love the smell of air conditioning. Is that weird??

The goats got alfalfa cubes for the first time the other day and they LOVE them! I like them too, since it takes them a long time to chew, and I can pet Elf without getting chewed on myself.

And nothings really going on around here....it's summer vacation, I lost my job, and I'm losing all sense of what day it is. It took a couple hours before I even realized it was Sunday *sigh*

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

Yeah its kinda weird. lol I forgot what day it was too. But then remembered that it will soon be Monday. It was not a good moment...

 

[HankTheTank]

But it smells so cold! (think about that one for a minute.....yeah, I don't get it either)

Days son't really mean anything to me unless I'm either a.) at school, or b.) at work. Since I'm doing neither, I've lost all track of what's going on

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

I know exactly what you mean. lol
