    What breed - Flemish or Giant Chinchilla?

    Hi As for the breed, I can't really respond. Mine are Mutt that grow fast and have a good 5-9lb carcass on grasses and weeds and water. I have had ears like that(kinda folded) in some of my FG's or at least I was told they were FG. That said now, where I live there are no Chinchilla. As for...

    Designing a small goat barn...

    Wow, nice one. The Goat Hilton. My goat barn was a few random pieces of plywood nailed(with salvaged nails straightened by tapping with a 20oz framing hammer against a rock) on to some random lengths of salvaged 2x4's. It measured 4'x10 @5&1/2' high. The door was merely a piece of cotton...

    Killed a bear today...*pics added* **GRAPHIC**

    I kinda side with Ridgetop but gota say your "Reply" is also dead on. Kinda opposite ends of the spectrum in one sense but both excellent points. Like a rope needs 2 ends to be a rope.... That said,"Wildfires" are saddly nearly as often started by humans And even sadder is that often started to...

    Killed a bear today...*pics added* **GRAPHIC**

    I've lived in Bear territory all my life and I'm almost positive that my 60 summers has seen the demise of the last one born in my first 5 summers. I wonder what does Bear think when human moves into his territory and starts freakin out on Bear's sons and daughters and starts killing them? Just...

    ***GRAPHIC IMAGES*** Dead Predator...Dead Goat.

    I've personally seen to the removal of over 50 free roaming domestic K9 and 30(+or-)free roaming domestic feline from the land upon which I reside. "Fido" & "Chester" have proven to be well over 90% the cause of losses of my birds and stock including goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, geese...

    Do I cull him or keep him?

    I very much dislike making those kinds of decisions and I believe I can relate to your dilemma. That said I think for the sake of the rest of the herd and my own peace of mind I need to consider making a meal out critters such as Heath. My own personal thoughts here now.. Honor his life essence...

    Which fence?

    I personally prefer corn cribbing. It's over 5 ft high and comes in different length rolls. It's light enough to manoeuvre and strong enough to stand up to the elements for years. I know many people that use 3 strands of electrified high tensile smooth wire to contain their goats. Whatever...

    Rabbit Odor?

    j built a hitch 7ft long, 30"front-back and 24high in front and 17" at back(single pitch roof). It has a removable devidor at half the length(L-R). I've used it for about 12 years. I scrape it atleast twice a month and "semi"pressure wash it with my finger over the hose. Once a year I take the...

If you can afford it ask the vet to carefully check spine especially between hips and just below(behind) the shoulder blades. Ulcerated type open sores:-..take 4 large plantain...

    Insane fencing costs?

    Lots of different ideas. I just do stuff myself. It cuts costs by about 1/2. I buy lathed 4" green treated fence posts. They're in the grounds every 20'. The corners are braced by angling a 10' 2x4 fro the top of the corner post to the bottom(pretty much ground level) of another post about 7'...

    Asking for ideas on how to "manage" coyotes

    I've actually beat the certain subspecies (the worst kind) of coyote for doing just that. Oddly their language was quite similar to mine but accentuated with a few surprised yelps followed by a few deep grunts then some high pitched whines and about 4or5 anguished wails then utter...
