Hello everyone, from Michigan

[Ldyhorse]

Hello everyone,

I live in lower Michigan. My husband and I own 27 acres for my 6 horses,3 dogs, and several chickens. Recently my husband brought me home a little pygmy doe, which has perked my interest in raising goats again.

I have been throwing around the idea of raising goats for a few years now, but haven't made any commitments to it.

I'm thinking about the small Nigerian Dwarfs, for milk production, or Pygora's for the wool. I love the smaller goats, and Annabelle (the pygmy) should have a couple of playmates.

We had a Alpine wether named Billy G.. He has passed on now, at the age of 13 years. We got Billy at the tender age of 6 months through a rescue of him and several other animals found abandoned and left to starve. Billy was a once in a life time goat. He was never tied up or fenced in, knew the property boundries, and was the official greeter here at the farm. We miss him greatly.

Have a great day everyone. And thank you for letting me join in .

We need to get the Michigan thread going again!

Where are you at? I'm between Standish and West Branch.

I live in Homer, west of Jackson, north of Hillsdale. It's a small rural area rich in Amish and farms.

I applied for a job at the high school but was never called for an interview. There's a small town near us called Omer. It was originally Homer, but since there was already an Homer, they had to drop the "H"

You're right by LostNation on here

Lost Nations would be south of me toward Hillsdale.... Heard of it, but never been there.
