I was wondering if anyone knows of a farm store to order equipment and from that has discount/better pricing than Tractor Supply or places like that? We just bought some farm property and I am wanting to try to be more efficient so we can buy things in bulk, etc.
I just got an adult female American Guinea Hog. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to take care of her? I read they are pasture pigs but I only have an acre so she is in a 20' x 16' pen with a shelter made from pallets so she don't have to sleep in the mud. I could only find 14%...
We are considering getting a Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland cross for our mini farm. We have chickens and meat rabbits so I am wanting to switch from a kibble diet to raw food or even cooking the rabbits and chicken for our current adult dog. My question is would a diet like I just described be a...
I am just getting started on my meat rabbit herd. So far I have got a New Zealand White buck and 2 Californian does from one breeder and then 2 broken New Zealand does and what I was told is a Red New Zealand buck from another breeder. From googling I am thinking that maybe he is a meat mutt...
My husband and I are hoping to be buying a farm in the near future and we are wanting to get a milk cow. I know a little about Jerseys and really like the way their milk tastes and how much cream they give. I have not been around the mini Jersey yet and so was wondering what the differences are...
I bought a Nigerian Dwarf wether to keep with my half nubian/nigerian dwarf doe. I am slightly allergic to goats but it is the wether that is affecting my allergies worst ( my doe hardly affects me at all). My husband and I both think he has a very strong buck smell. So I am just curious, did...
I am a newbie at rabbit genetics and am working on buying pedigreed netherland dwarfs. I have found some orange NDs but was wondering if that is a more complicated color to work with than say something like selfs or brokens? :idunno
I am wanting to eventually work up to having an all pedigreed netherland dwarf herd. I bought a buck and a doe before I knew about pedigrees and registering so they do not have pedigrees. I am currently buying a false Charlie with the option of a pedigree for just $10 more. I hadn't heard of...
I am rather excited about this litter! The buck is a blue otter and the doe is a black otter. This is her second time kindling but hopefully her first successful one. She lost her first because I didn't know she was old enough to breed and had her in the same cage as the buck. Needless to say by...
I'm just getting started on building my Netherland Dwarf herd. I am also considering raising meat rabbits but still researching what breeds and all that.
I'm really looking forward to learning from you guys and being a part of this community. :frow
