A very Quick update Everyone spoken too agrees that she probably pissed of some hunter at the back of our property where it meets about 100 acres. Police have neighboring property owners names in order to ask about any hunting leases but some are owned by large companies and we are not...

We moved the goats and horses today ( donkey refused to load of course), brought two of my 4 Pyrenees to the house to be with the goat flock. bff and I stayed for a couple hours to watch everyone settle in and finish the bird yard before we bring over the flock. Everyone is staying close and...

I just reread your message Bay and I see I should have wormed seven to eight days ago. Should I still worm them the day before they are moved?

Thank you all for your help! Moving animals Sunday and Monday and hope to be sleeping there by Monday or Tuesday. Worming the herd tomorrow and then again in 10 days. Two lgds going with the goat herd and two going over with the flock. Crossing our fingers that the coyote problem there is not...

Ha never mind I found it! I knew it was easy I was just spelling it wrong @MiniSilkys

Obviously the title says it all but this lady I I am buying geese from is selling her mini silkie (sp?) herd Very cheap because she is dealing with a domestic issue. These are not my goats but the lady seems honest enough and the animals seem well cared for. I cannot remember the name of the...

And please enjoy him and love him! I never thought I could lovvvee any animal more than a horse, and then I met my donkey.

He is just angry like a toddler is angry when you make him go to bed. He doesn't have the understanding or tools in his box to know even why he is angry yetand what he should be doing about it. I would stay away from popping him in the butt, you are just asking to be kicked. Once he learns...
