and then go up to 3 does but still keep just the one buck.

I was hopping for one doe and 2 bucks, but I am thinking now maybe it may be better to have 2 does and 1 buck.

My children are under all under 10, so a half gallon a day works out well for us right now. If and when I need more, another Dwarf would fit my needs just fine.

Half a gallon from a pygmy a day ?! that's about what we would need. Thank you for telling me what you are getting from your goats.

I recently came across a youtube video where a lady used what she called a fruit jar milker. I thought it was an interesting concept but it got me wondering if it would be possible to do the same on dwarfs or any of the other small breeds since they are so close to the ground. Has anyone tried it?

hey y'all. I'm in Bama and my husband and I have decided we are going mostly off grid, so I am here to find out herding information and to meet some folks along the way.

Well, hey there! I am just around Birmingham, so we are practically neighbors.:thumbsup

We have a TSC here too, but they don't do more than chickens. I will try your advice and look on the boards.

My family and I have decided to start raising meat rabbits. I am in the market for either Americans or New Zealands, but I can't seem to find a place to buy them for meat purposes. Every place I have looked has ended up being for pet or show only, some even to the extent of having you sign a...

Hey there I am in Shelby Co. New to the state and new to some farming. I am sure I will be asking a million questions, so sorry if I get on nerves :duc

Work in progress.

Hey all, I am a newbie from Alabama and I am looking forward to learning how it's done from these forums.
