I have peach trees and goats. The goats are not thrilled with peach leaves but will eat any peach within their reach AND leave the pit intact. Not saying that is true of all goats, but the buck pen that shares the fenceline with the peach trees is littered with the bodies of uneaten peach...

We like single syllable names for our male dogs: Max and Rex top our list. Good names that are easy to say and easy to yell (as in where are you)... something with some oomph. Whatever you decide on his name he looks very handsome.

Good Dog!

I'm in North Central Texas and in winter have always left the tank floats in their tank and shut off the water. We have not seen any damage due to freezing.

Yeah but he caught the tail going in both directions. Talent! That boy has talent.

We have Jerusalem Artichokes, also called Sunchokes. Yep unless you want them taking over your yard you need to corral those plants. Their flowers do not produce seed as far as I have seen. We've been doing them for several years. Started out with one row and now... well it is a whole lot...

I have a Nigerian Dwarf buck that gets a little stupid and decides that I am a toy. I started taking a short thin branch, about 3 feet long, in with me while I was in the buck pen. A couple taps on the nose and he wisened up. Have not had to show him the branch in several months. I also have...
