I was a lurker for a long time...then missed being able to post and respond to other's posts...great community and I've learned so much...need to join to ask questions...and I love learning about not only the critters I have, but also others. Someone on here...and she knows who she is...LOL...is making it mighty tempting for me to get an LGD and I'm soaking up all the info I can.

Bon you do need a LGD which is she trying to get you to get a GP or a Toli

Here on BYH, well… it is like another family. This family understands how we can cry when a chick dies, a hatch goes bad, a hawk swoops down for lunch and at the same time schedule a slaughter day . How we can care for our goats and sheep and still tan their hides and fill our freezer . Many that do not do what we do cannot grasp the emotional ups/downs of farming.

X2 down to the penny!
Thank you for finding those words for me.






I joined because I wanted to learn as much as I could before getting sheep(which I still don't have yet).

Since joining I've met many people. Many are my best friends! This is a huge + for me(as a homeschool kid).

BYH is also a VERY good way to help your animals! If you have a sick animal and don't know very much about that kind of animal just post a few pix and a description in a thread and the people on BYH will run over to help you. It's great!


So, I know this is an EXTREMELY old thread but I figured I'd post anyway.

New here. I spent a year on backyard chickens researching before I got my first chickens. Now we are living on our land full time and I want cows. Here I am, researching again!
