That is awful.November 26, 2014....Kinders Calling......
Well today marks Suzzy's 1 mo. preg... Just like clock work, Hazel and Amy went into heat first thing this morning. I tried Hazel and Wyatt together, not confident they got the job done, Hazels 1 st. day , so I'll try them again tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day.
Amy !?!? Well back in Aug. I called my friend ( the woman who started raising Kinders 20 min. away from me)(this year also) I remembered her saying (although she wanted me to not do back yard breeding and didn't want anything to do with either of my bucks (though she never saw any of my goats) ) She did say she would breed my does. Well when I talked to her she said that she didn't want to hurt my feelings, then said oh heck yes I will, and proceeded to tell me of how my property looked like a dump / it was no place for goats / and that she would be afraid of her goats catching something. Apparently a ''(Drive by)'' , Is a justifiable way to deem someone unworthy to be having goats, even to be passing any Judgment of any kind. Even after all that, I said why didn't you stop.?? I could have showed her my babies/ showed her all the projects going on and still to come, she would have seen that my garden beds had weeds because my new Goats and Chickens were my first priority. Heck she might of liked me.
I just thought that 2 people with something in common could connect. With all her experience = being a mentor to a newbie..
I just wanted some different genes in my mix, so that next springs babies would be able to mate.
She also said she doesn't think she will even breed or stud anything that came from me...............
So It looks like I'll be taking another long trip to spice up my gene pool this spring..
She Will Not dictate my out come......
I'm so sorry

I have a few choice words for her but this is a family friendly site.
Part of me wonders if she wants to discourage you to get rid of competition.
I won't lie I've driven past places and thought the conditions I saw were horrible but I always remind myself that the view from the road is just one view. Heck, I've driven past my own place and thought that even knowing it really isn't how it is.
Keep on, keeping on and next time you run into her just remember she may have insulted and insinuated horrible things about your herd but she confirmed that she is a poor example of humanity.

December 10th. 2014... Kinders Calling......
Well not sure if Hazel is preg.,won't know until Sunday, if she goes into heat or not. I never put Hazel and Wyatt together on day 2 / Thanks Giving Day. I already informed my Vet., and we'll be getting together the end of Feb. to take care of Suzzys CD&T and deworming. That is 1mo. / pre-birth normal,+ what she may need.
I buy my supplies on a monthly bases. I call it U-Haul day. Twice a month I rent a sm. reg. truck, or cargo van to get all my animal supplies, The cat, 2 dogs, chickens, and goats. From kitty litter, to grit/shells. From dog treats, to goat treats, Hay, straw, and pine shavings. My son helps me unload everything, then we load about 20-30 contractor garbage bags of barn/yard waste. As long as I can get it to the dump and empty the bags my self into the yard and leaf pile, getting rid of the goat and chicken waste doesn't cost me anything except time. ( I reuse the bags too, as long they are not to bad ). Remember... I live in the city and can't store it on my property, or dig a place to store it. There for 2 x's a mo. I do the U-Haul thing just to take care of business. $19.95 per day plus gas and mileage, not to bad.!!

December 11, 2014 ..... Kinders Calling ....
Well another couple of inches of snow, and we're suppose to get 1.5 in. today. Temps. have been so weird, I've seen them go from 21' to 1' night/am and then back. ( a 20 degree drop/raise ) that concerns me !!If anything is going to harm my goats/chickens it will be this up/down weather. And we are not even getting that much snow, its mostly rain then snow then mixed. So many others have it so bad,
I actually would rather have normal weather ( get dumped on /shovel out.) than this sloppy/not sure what to do stuff. Granted its good for the ground but if it turns any warmer we'll have ' THE FOG "...
To me the fog is the worst thing to breath in because of all the bacteria and pollutants being released from the ground. I admit that when its foggy out, I tend to ware a medical mask, when I'm out side. With good reason... When I was 13 I had a paper route, in the spring time I got deathly sick with MENDENJUITUS.
The only time I've ever been sick until about 5 years ago. Plus C.O.P.D. SO!! With that said ( I hate fog. ) And I know it has the ability to harm my babies.

Suzzy has CL? or did you mean she needed a CD&T?
Lots of people in city limits and the burbs do the "eco" friendly compost barrels. They are pricey, at least the fancy ones from Loews are, but that may help you in the long run and then you can sell your compost. If that could be turned into profit and your feed store does delivery for a small fuel surcharge that could save a lot of $ per year.
BTW- in your signature you have
www.myurbankinder@gmail.com
this doesn't work... it is showing website and email on same line... do you have a website? or is this the e-mail and you accidentally put the www there?

( CD&T !!! )
.... I don't have a web sight yet. and it was suppose to be an E-Mail, but my son can't send me anything, so I'll have to get him to look into it. I want a WEB sght but he won't help me with it, says it will talk me through it, but I'm not good at this stuff as you can see. And I would like to get a few of those barrels you mentioned for myself, but that's all, the City doesn't want me to share. And I could get stuff delivered but it has to be 100 bales or more. I just don't have the place to put that right now. Believe me I'm already saving !! The trash collectors will charge me 2/3 $ per bag if I do pick up services, and I'm way to cheep to go for that
Besides it wouldn't get recycled, and I can't have that.

You can make a free website pretty easily with weebly.com. Doesn't take a computer genius to figure out either.
