Alaxz7272 I think they are Hampshire pigs. They are pink and the ears stand up. I castrated them myself a week ago and I hated it. I hope I have all girl piglets from now on. Do you creep your alpaca? I am thinking of building a creep pen and read people make the gate slats 10-14 inches wide...

Your goats are adorable btw :)

Hello and welcome. How did you post pictures? I can't seem to do it.

I enjoyed your post. I have some lgd and they are about a year old. I have them penned in a dog run unless they are out with me. I can't get them over the chicken killing thing. They do well with the other livestock. My goats don't like them though and some of the more aggressive does still go...

Normally we have good hay. But last year we got a batch of bad ables and had half the does abort. It was totally heart breaking and I would like to avoid that if I could. I hear what your saying about the effort. Thx

Hi all, I just joined both here and BYC. I have a 10 acre farm in which we raise goats, sheep, alpaca, horses, and now pigs. We also have many birds of various kinds. I grew up 40miles east of NYC and am new to the whole farming thing. Moved to this place 4 yrs ago. The birds were here when...

Kusanar, Thanks for the update. I am new to both BYC and Herds. I have been playing with the idea of feeding sprouted fodder to all my animals. I will have to check out the link. Do you feed fodder? I have not found many people who feed it especially in my area. I have been debating on...
