frozen stinks I used to have a sledge near my troughs. then I went automated waterers for all. expensive but worth every penny let me know how this works. very interesting for sure

yup I never realized how horrible goats/sheep and more could be all about 'the herd' and pecking order when we pull from herd we eliminate and one comes higher in order. we introduce back and and wham the horror starts seen it a bunch. That is one reason I kidded out my goats fast and threw...

good pasture is key and alot of it but more and more are being kept in small areas. backyard situaitons. and yup you have more troubles :)

sure they can get over it some horses need a small shot of ace or same for shoeing. I did it a few times on a horse I bought but sold because it wasn't the horse for me, but a baby tranq. never hurt anyone and made it safe and more for everyone/critter involved. but my best riding horse was...

nice I think our vinyl is one shade lighter on our 24 stall horse barn. now Ihave to check lol

yea I am that old fashioned type of situation also. one thing hubby has 0 and I mean 0 control over is my love of horses. When we met and later married he raised Spotted Saddle Horses and rode alot. I had my horses. Slowly he gave it up and we stopped selling. Got out of it. I never lost...

you have to 'read horse' what did the trainer have to say about the behavior? most times a bad horse is a work of human ownership. So it is hard. kinda darned if you do and darned if you don't. especially when you have standing next the offender a perfect horse you trust. good chance the...

a good way to convince a hubby is saying ' it will take no time from you, and you will always have dinner on the table and you don't have to do a thing, this is all me' :lau :gig they love to hear that.

call and ask "what is the job?" if you are a milker help then you have weird hours. cows are milked VERY early am and later that evening mostly. So will it fit your schedule. if you are general barn help, heck anyone can do that. Can you drive a tractor, bobcat and more? you must know the...

is a marinading a good thing. to help the cooking process? goat was hard for me to learn to cook but if I went by my game recipes for deer I kinda figured it out. sounds good to me. I will 'try' to search it out in my area and eat. I love trying new things.

takes time. nature says when :lol: if she is turning, sunken, and looking it in is play. best you can do is leave her alone. I found when I left it was all fine but be around in case :cool: hard yea.

You see this it is any minute or 1/2 hr depending on her but labor and birth is happening now. If she delivers then a big string of gunk hangs and you eventually see another bubble, another kid is coming.

beard is not 'boy' exclusive. but as cool as this sounds, do you really want it? what are you trading to acquire this pygmy?

if goats hit your fancy, you want a small herd and truly enjoy the hands on etc. yea that is your hobby :cool: hey you might get into showing some and make big bucks on those show animals! :) just put the expense up front for CL certified free goats and go from there!

do they like maters? mine rarely touch veggies? mine are nuts. they love corn and stalks tho.
