I just looked at the bag for protein percentage. The whey I’m using has 11%. Since they are gaining height and weight, could it be coccidiosis that caused my two baby goats to die suddenly? I do not believe it to be pneumonia or bloat. But, I’m not as experienced as many if not most people in...

Th Thank you. I hadn’t realized that about the percentage of protein. I knew it wasn’t the best for them. But it’s what I have access to when I was running out of kid milk replacer. I do know that many in here feel that whole cows Or goats milk is best. But I can’t afford six gallons of whole...

I have several young kids, two weeks old. It has been quite a while since I’ve had a baby die on me. This is what I’ve been seeing recey. I have access to an endless source of dried sweet whey. I started using the sweet whey about a week and a half ago. My babies and young kids absolutely love...

I love the changes I’m seeing in here. Fabulous job!

Is this your rescue horse? She looks so good. And, a good helper.

I I couldnt agree more about the deck screws and cordless drill.

Thats not the only bright spot. A lot of good things have happened because we have been forced to look at things differently. My dad had suggested we make a pond out of the water that finds its way to our place. I kinda like that idea. If we do it just right we may not have to water our...

They are actually blaming him for the accident. They said he pulled out in front of the car. That car had to be going at a super fast speed to have done the damage they did and to not have seen him sitting at the corner. He states he clearly looked both ways. He knows that is a dangerous...

I missed you. My FIL is doing miraculously well considering he was thrown several feet in the air and landed on the back of his head. I would consider him 90% recovered. They are however making it impossible to his license back. They say his reaction time is too slow. Hes 74 years old, doesnt do...

Life has been super “crazy, hectic, shattering, expensive, stressful“ maybe tumultuous is the right word. It’s been one thing after another. I just snipped this from one of my comments to a comment in here. It might be easier than retyping it all over again. Actually a month ago (late...

Actually a month ago we were fighting excessive amounts of water on our property. There was mud everywhere! From our vehicles, our goats, walking back and forth on the same path. We were inundated with what felt like a sunami. When we should have been preparing for winter, we were trying to get...

Nope! Nothing stupid. Just trying to keep our heads above water.

I’m sorry, life has been hectic, sometimes chaotic, challenging, and overwhelming. We are trying to trim the excess so we manage the important stuff.

Oh my goodness! That is way too close for comfort. Stay safe and take the needed precautions. I hope all is safe and quiet on you place and stays that way. Ill be thinking of you.

We are buying 16 acres for our homestead. There is mixed land on it. I can see 3-4 as hay or corn. There is a couple islands of wooded area. We can see possibly pasturing pigs and goats on as much as 4 acres. There is really nice pasture land on most of it. There is a creek that runs along one...
