I found this on Facebook tonight, and I thought many of you would appreciate the sentiment...

So, we just got the girls weaned about a week ago when they turned three months old. Today I noticed they are getting loose poops, and I'm not sure what to do about it. The poops are dark and runny, but not completely liquid. They are not smelly, either. They are eating a small amount of grain...

So, a while ago, we decided to name our property, business, etc. Sunset Acres Ranch. Since I haven't really shown you guys around, I thought I would. I'll have to have a few consecutive posts in order to share all of the pictures. :) The back of the house. Neighbors chickens. Garden area...

So, we've been contemplating whether or not we should take Ruby and Emerald to an ADGA show in March about 2 hours south of us. Nathan just so happens to have that weekend off by chance, and it's really the only show that's feasible for us to drive to the morning of. I have never shown my own...

Some of you know we purchased four doelings a few weeks ago, and they were both a pair of twins with the same father (Curley) but different mothers (Me Too and another doe). I spoke to the breeder this week, and she has a buckling available from very good lines. However, he is related to two of...

Alright, we finally got our new property mowed down so that we could traverse out into the field! The grass and weeds were previously taller than I was in the spots that weren't wooded (which turned out to be about 3 of the 5 acres). Here are a few pictures of the new field. Our house...

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area, but I'm super excited because we got a message yesterday from our goat breeder, and she had four doelings on the ground for us to check out! :weee So, when we went over to evaluate if they were good quality kids and out of good mothers, we got...

So, I've been looking for "fun" things for the goat kids, but I'm at a loss as to what to get them. I've heard that old wooden cable reels make fun things to jump on, but I've searched Craigslist multiple times and haven't found any for resale. Are there any other good sources of toys for...

I haven't posted much on BYH except in the goat section, but I was just researching a bit more about pig "housing" and was curious about a few things. First, I guess I should mention that we're getting 5 gilts in May, and we should have established pastures by then. We'll be culling a couple...

After reading on here and on Homesteading Today that Countryside Organics (the only available organic feed in my area of Florida) isn't a great feed, I was considering creating my own feed by buying grains and mixing them myself. However, I haven't seen any organic recipes on here. I'd prefer to...

Hi! I just joined the BYC community, and the suggested we join here as well since we will be raising more than just poultry. :) I'm Meaghan, a graduate student and prospective veterinary student and my SO Nathan is a nurse at a local hospital. We just purchased our first house on 5 acres and...
