It looks like you don't have any goats yet. Goats are a good hobby :)

Chickie-sorry to hear about your horse. we also lost our beautiful mare to some sort of neurological problem this past year. she was such a sweet horse.

thanks.
never experienced it in all my horse years.
it was the most horrible thing. Great horse but only surgery would save. man I tell ya that is a hard call. especially on a 21 yr old horse.

I had colic in my time and other problems with horses, but that gut thing comes fast, no prep, no way to fix fast, nothing. just over.
ugh


sorry about yours also. I know it is hard. and the 'sweet' ones are hard to come by cause when you have a great one, you never want to let go. :/

Actually we used to have two. We were new to the whole thing of goats, and I bought them from someone that didn't take good care of his goats. They ended up with CL, so we had to find them a new home. Our neighbor was letting us use her property, so we didn't want that on her land. I never thought that we could get so attached to goats, but we did. I cried until we could no longer see them, as they were going down the road with their new owner. I would love to get more, but my hubby said not now.:(

Tell your hubby your NEW hobby is goats.
that should do it for you.


:lol:


I understand CL but I had it in the herd. While we certainly want to get rid of it, it wouldn't be a reason I would let go of my goats.
But obviously everyone is different on how they handle this.

Oh just realized it was others pasture. get it.

:lol: that is great! I never thought of that, why didn't I ask you earlier? I can also tell him Chickie2378 said I could! Maybe that will help me even more in the fight. :fl:clap

if goats hit your fancy, you want a small herd and truly enjoy the hands on etc. yea that is your hobby :cool:
hey you might get into showing some and make big bucks on those show animals! :)



just put the expense up front for CL certified free goats and go from there!

I would love to, but I am not sure if I can convince my hubby though. It would be great though! I guess we will have to see.:D

a good way to convince a hubby is saying ' it will take no time from you, and you will always have dinner on the table and you don't have to do a thing, this is all me' :lol: :gig

they love to hear that.

He knows that already. :lol: I am the one that loves the animals, and so I am the one that takes care of them. I already have dinner on the table when he gets home. With our last goats, I did everything. Which is the way that I am ok with. We are very old fashion here, I love it to be honest. I feel good as a stay at home mom. I think I will tell him, you asked for a hobby, I thought of one, and what do you think. :) The worst he can say is no.

Well if your husband ever says yes .. I would suggest Nigerians as a great breed ... They are small, sweet , loving , cute , and don't eat alot . And I will have kids in the spring for you :lol:
