Now I know what that plant is in my backyard. I’ve got a few of them so I’ll go pull them all out. They are pokeweed apparently. Never knew what they were till you said to make sure you don’t have any. Thanks

Was going to purchase 2 male pygmy goats locally that were born early July, so they are about 4 months old now. I was going to castrate them because my ultimate plan is to eat them and want do everything to preserve the taste of the meat. Plus I don't want smelly bucks around. I have about...

The two dogs I have now definitely shouldn’t teach many bad habits as far as how to behave around others animals. they are completely aloof to the other animals. They are just horrible guard dogs. More interested in chasing squirrels.

Last year something, probably coyotes, killed 4 adult turkeys at night. Stupid birds didn't go into their pen and some of them decided to sleep on the ground. Next morning a few heads and feathers and everything else was gone. For the most part haven't had trouble with critters, just from...

#1 We have two dogs currently. These are indoor dogs. I want to get a dog (or 2) that will sleep outside with the poultry currently (hopefully pigs in the near future). What are others experiences with having some indoor dogs and other dogs that are outside all the time. Do the dogs outside...
