When it started getting hot here a few weeks ago we finally broke down and bought AC, supposed to get installed right now. But its too hot to work in the attic! Literally the worst paradox ever, too hot to install AC😂.

I dont have a clue about sheep, but ive got the same forecast here up in Washington. I find hydration is the most important. I set up fans where most needed. Ive got baby quail that just hatched so im taking those inside even though thats a bit odd. Mostly though for my cow and goats Ive been...

Thank you!

Thank you all for the help!! And to any and all of you who care, this is the current situation (which I am dying in anticipation for!!) There is a local homesteader Facebook thing (I don't know what its called) and someone posted that they are selling their 2 year old dairy cow! I rarely ever...

H WOW!! They are awesome! I cant believe I've never heard of them before! Cool horn looking combs too!

I don't have any myself (right now, I most likely have one in late April if all goes accordingly), but everything I hear says that Jerseys are the friendliest.

Thank you all for the input! I will definitely be painting them :D =D (P.S. @Alaskan, what type of chickens are those in your profile picture? They look crazy!!🤣)

Oh okay thank you! That makes sense.

Hello! I am getting my first bees this April!! I got my hives (2) a few weeks ago and haven't done much to them. I read and was told that painting them is a good idea, but wasn't given a lot of reasoning to that. I love how they look right now as they are a nice pretty wood. So I'm curious, do I...

Thank you! I will look into these!

Oh wow! Thank you so much! This definitely helps.

Nigerian Dwarfs for brush control. Tons of blackberries, thistle, and stinging nettles where I live. But I also wanted a manageable size of goat, and I don't need bigger ones that will produce more milk as they are wethers. Hoping to get into either dairy goats or sheep though :D =D! Any...

Awesome!! Thank you!

Thats why ducks are so popular around here!!🤣

thank you!

Okay thank you! Yeah if Awassi can't handle wet conditions then they won't work out over here 😂. Western Washington isn't exactly known to be dry😂😂😂

Hello! I am relatively new to rabbits and they are only for pets (they are not mine but my family member's). Anyways, she has two male rabbits, a rex and a lionhead/rex mix (very fluffy!). Obviously, they like to hump each other quite a bit (not sure how to say this in a more subtle way). It has...

What do y'all think about Lacaune or Awassi? I hear they have the highest butterfat percentage. But I could only find one source for the percentages so I don't know how true they are. I read Lacaune: 7.5% and Awassi 13%. I also read that east friesian have a very low butterfat but I also...

Okay thank you!
