My husband brought home a couple of arm-loads of bananas. I missed the real party, but here's the aftermath! Banana party!

Finally after two nail-biting weeks of over due-ness, Lazer made his arrival in the wee hours Friday morning. He was EIGHTY-THREE freakin' pounds! Gigantic calf for any heifer, but Brownie was a hero. She absolutely had to have help, but he was positioned correctly and everything went as well as...

So, my two girls are having a visit from a very smelly suitor. I dried them off about 3 weeks ago and this guy came to visit starting this past Sunday. The girls are Alpine/Nubian crosses. How long will they need to be with the buck before they come into heat? Obviously I can't watch them...

We are waiting for our two girls to go into heat - since we'll be sending them over to someone elses place to be bred, I need to dry them off before they go, because the lady where we are sending them doesn't milk. They are both way down right now anyway. Should I just quit milking? If they...

My girls (Alpine/Nubian crosses) are going to need a "play-date" soon. I am sending blood in to make sure they are both CL and CAE clear and would want the same on a buck. These are just our pets and household milkers, so I'm not looking for a show quality anything, but I would like to up the...

I have 2 Alpine/Nubian does that will need bred in the next couple of months. Anyone around close that would like to give their buck a "play-date" with my girls? Prefer dairy, but really any healthy buck will work. Edited to ask - what is a reasonable stud fee for a goat? I'm not showing or...

I have two Nubian/Alpine cross does. They were pregnant already when I bought them last year. They both delivered in February. Shouldn't they be coming back into heat soon? If not, can I bring them in if I borrow a smelly-buck rag from someone?

They got a bunch.... They scarfed probably 25-30 pounds of cherries between 2 250-300 pound calves. Should I be freaking out?

They are doing great, probably pushing 200 pounds now. Simmy (left) and Brownie, right (don't roll your eyes at ME, my husband named her) Brownie doing her "OhboyIgettarunnow" dance of joy! Simmy Simmy is Angus/Simmental and Brownie is Angus

We had our two bottle babies delivered Thursday. They decided after about the second bottle that we are O.K. folks! We got an Angus/Simmental cross bull calf and a pure Angus heifer. (Boy, is she a pretty little girl!) They are supposed to be about three weeks old. After hitting several...

Hello! Found you guys through Backyard Chickens. Hi all! After years of being stuck with neighbors at arm's length, my husband and I finally got a little 2 & 1/2 acre place last summer. Now we can spread out and do some of the things we have been longing to do! We raise and my husband trains...
