Oh no poor Barley! And i bet you were nice and surprised when you drove in ;) i was thinking like 7-9 strands or something like that if i just went with electric no woven wire... Wow sounds like a gorgeous place you have!!! Yeah I'm sort of planning having a little of everything, a couple sheep...
Thank you So much for the information!!! i dont get overwhelmed easily so go ahead!! ;) i was trying to figure out all of the fence stuff and it wasnt always going well x.x i totally understand about the goats now leaving the horse alone! that's how we teach our dogs to leave our cats alone ;)...
Thank you for the info! I was looking into electric fencing, but again wasn't sure where to start, and goats will be one of the first things we would try to keep in with it... any type in particular you recommend? fencing wise for goats?
could you technically split the parcels and cheat that way, like if you got a 100 acres split it into quarters? or does a parcel go by what the state has boundary line wise? we even had the thought of doing 2 houses with a mutual kitchen and a motor home...sometimes gotta love California :lau
i can totally understand about having space between the animals, i have seen to many small animals get nailed through fences, (and had to separate pets of my own. so figures i should do this with big as well. but i want to know more about the fencing. its another thing i haven't been able to get...
i knew that 43,560 sq = 1 acre.. but i was to much of a dididii to think of it as a square instead of a line x.x now i get to refigure everything *Dies* :he
we r in CA, but by a area where farms are normal. we are exploring all the options, one thing that my mom has talked with a Realtor friend...
the houses arnt going to be that big. the houses each are around 4,000 sq feet each, im thinking about a acre for all 3 houses and the back yard maybe a little more for the pool since it will be a litter separate, we figure we are all family so we can be semi-close. hey more room then we have...
First I apologize if this is in the wrong thread... im just not sure Where to put it.
So still working on getting a large piece of land, the family says we are at least getting 10 acres, there are 2 of us who want more, and 2 who dont...
one of the reasons the two who Dont want land is they...
sorry internet died and stupid at&t is taking FOREVER!!! x.x :hide
But the horse is mainly for riding, and i was going to get a breed that can pull a cart since i will have a huge garden / orchard... but also just becausei miss having a horse, and i mentioned it because they are a farm animal...
@Royd Wood Yeah!!! :celebrate:D I thought of getting a few pigs, now this is just more insentive (and reasoning ;) ) for it :cool: So I think I have a plan started..... Goats and horses first (I need a horse im going bonkers without one.) Then 1 - 2 cows& pigs, then sheep? Hmmm im getting so...
Rofl, so do you not milk any of yours? and im hoping the others havent had enough of me to answer more! :fl
:woot for people who answer questions!!! :D (I promise i will stop eating the Jelly Beans ... I have a tendency to be less annoying :celebrate )
so you have guys have been talking about buying a milker, i always assumed they were really expensive, and just for big productions?
Thank you all of you for the time information!! I was thinking will it mess with a cow and milking if i did the 2nd half after dark sometimes? or would the times...
Makes sence, about the same time every day. (yes i do remember when i was late to get to my daughter.) :( poor girls..
So about how long does it take you to milk a single cow? I was only thinking 1, mabye 2 tops?
