New to goats and SO excited!

[Devonviolet]

Welcome from Australia. I'm only new to this site too. Wonderful advice and people! You sound like you've got a good plan going. Good luck with it all.

Thanks Dillo! I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. I'm finding it hard to find time to spend here on BYH, to take advantage of all the great information.

Welcome from KS! I'm impressed with all your research and planning. We just happened to rent a place last spring with 5 acres. It needed brush to be cleared and we said "Hey, let's borrow some goats!" We went from borrowing to buying, to making a very involved LGD transport adoption, to (now) "Hey, let's get chickens next spring!" We find we get so much more done if we don't plan first.

Whether planned or accidental, the craziness is addictive and well worth the price of admission! Enjoy! Everyone here is great, as you've already seen.

Hi MsDeb! So nice to meet y'all! Thanks for your welcome.

Love your story! Truth be told, my deep down tendency is to put it off to the last minute and "go with the flow". However, because I have dealt with the consequences of that too often, I have learned to be more organized.

A belated welcome and Big Howdy from North Central Texas. We shan't hold it against you that you came from Pennsylvania. Most of us got here as fast as we could and I imagine you were the same. Sit a spell, grab that iced tea over yonder as it has your name on it anyway.

It is the only place to be... "where the stars at night are big and bright" Where??? "Deep in the heart of Texas." Not that I'm partial at all.

There's lots of us in Texas who have goats and chickens and geese or quail, and rabbits, let's not forget the bunns, and all kinds of other delightful critters.

And yes, we love, love, love pictures, stories and more pictures!!!!!! Especially babies!!!! Babies with spots!!!

Awww! Thanks for your hearty welcome to Big Beautiful Texas AnimalMom! Howdy! Actually, I lived in Lake Worth from 1977 to 1983 - moved away for hubby's job. My daughter loved and missed TX so much, she convinced her DH to get a job here. When they moved here, it left us without family in PA. So, I'm a hopin' that you don't hold PA against me too much.

LOVED your song - I could almost hear you singin' it and almost started singing along!

I cant upload files yet, but will keep trying until I can and they y'all might just regret inviting me to do so! I'm a BIG photo hound, and take LOTS of photos. So, will be uploading lots of photos once I get my animals.

I'm constantly in trouble from hubby for researching and looking at goat stuff with my daughter. Oops! Can't help it when you fall in love with something!!

I really don't get how my hubby hasn't figured out yet that if I'm researching it, we're going to get it. It's only a matter of time.

LOL! I think mine is slowly coming to that realization. He's actually starting to catch the bug.

My Dh says "where are we going?" and "How much money do I need to take out of the bank?"

HAHAHAHAHA!

I just told my DH what you said Southern. He just goes, "yeah". I said you're not laughing. He said "it's not funny". He was grinning when he said it though. He is the one that used to try taking only one bag into the store when we stop for "just a few things". HA! Now he just takes a full bag of reusable shopping bags, 'cause he knows one bag isn't enough!
