You forgot the absolute worst predator out there that frustrates you every time they attack or steal your animals, other people. Those are hands down the most difficult to deal with, and worst are the ones that think they are doing good, but decide that it is okay to feed your single horse a 5...

I will definitely be doing an enclosed barn. It might be solely for the rabbits, or it may be also used for hay storage above and might have some stalls for goats. Definitely a big advocate for hay for winter bedding. We do want to stay away from a heater because it stays super dry here. Even...

Looking for tips on raising snow bunnies. A little bit of background, I have bred rabbits for meat, wool, and show for almost 32 years now. I have a great system for raising rabbits in the middle of central Texas, but one thing we rarely encounter is a hard winter or snow. I'm used to keeping...

In my local area even rabbit pens can run high for the 4-H and FFA shows. A pen of three or 4, sometimes the breeder sells an extra so you can use the best three, will sell for $250. This is over $50 each for 6 to 8 week old just weaned baby bunnies, and not always from good show lines.

I raise mostly Boers and they are super talkative and noisy regardless of what season or time of day. Whenever we get home in the truck it is always to a chorus of bleatings and calling for us except foe my dairy doe. My Toggenburg has only been noisy when she was completely separated as I had...

Sorry for the wait on the post, and thanks for the welcome back @Latestarter The Togg milk definitely had a little more flavor, but nothing like I was expecting based on info online. We feed a good horse quality coastal hay and they get turned out to good green average Texas pasture. I think...

I milk both a Boer doe and a Toggenburg. In all honesty I prefer milking my Boer. She tolerates it better (my Togg likes to kick where the Boer just sighs and figures if she stops fighting it will be over sooner), the flavor is milder (my in laws think it's cows milk), and she gives more with...

I'm hoping all goes as smoothly as your kidding of Olivia, well with the exception that you would get to see the action this time. I'm just getting back into goats myself have 3 little Boers that I'll be feeding out for a while before they are old enough to breed. Also wanted to say I'm sorry...
