I see you are familiar with the way.🤣 I was expecting them to be on the list somewhere!

Hey y’all, been a while since I checked in here. My friend got a young goat last night and she passed away this afternoon. Goat was 6 months old. When I saw her today she was already downed and had been for a little while. No fever, clear eyes, no gunk on her nose or butt. No diarrhea or...

That’s a lot of really great ideas. Thank you so much.

I’d like to mention that Pygmy goats are a thing. Most mini livestock has problems, like other people have mentioned, but small breed goats tend to do fine. They say that Nigerian dwarves are for milking and pygmy goats are for eating. I can tell you my Pygmy mama produced some serious milk...

I’m following this page because I’m interested in the responses. I hope they work with you!

Start by learning about agricultural units. Then cross that with your land. If you want to get into farming read some books, not just forums. On forums you can get some amazing advice, but there’s also a lot of information you’ll miss. I suggest mini farming on a 1/4 acre. Or something like...

I’ve never had sheep, so I’m not sure if this is right. But, if this were mine, I would clean the area with iodine to help prevent infection and then I’d use a salve to protect and moisturize the skin.

I’ve watched horsemen work through video and read up before. Classic horse girl with no horse, and I have found a lot of the techniques work fabulously with my goats. Like turning your body/attention away from the animal until they’re comfortable. Working up slowly.

I’ve worked/played with my neighbors pony for about 7 years. Farmsat her plenty too. My grandparents also had horses about a decade ago. It’s not like I can’t handle a well behaved animal, I wouldn’t consider farm sitting if I couldn’t. my main concern would be if I’m watching and someone gets...

Gotcha! So, the real business opportunity is to figure out Einstein’s theory of time travel, and then enact it so they can farm sit their own animals while away on vacation. How silly of me to not realize that’s what I needed to be working on.

Oh good. Should be good then. Most dogs like me, especially shy ones. Which, of course, has nothing to do with the fact they know I’ll bribe them later. 😉 chicken skin or dog biscuits are usually bestowed upon the dogs at one time or another.

What is your opinion and experience on farm sitting? I’ve been thinking about farm sitting some. I’ve done it for friends and neighbors, but not for strangers before. What do you look for in a farm sitter and how much do you pay? What is the going rate, I was thinking by species and how many or...

Next time, before you leave, take mental note of what you use everyday and write a list. Even do a practice run or two to see what fits in the bag. My general rule is always bring one thing way fancier than you expect to need and one thing you can work in. Also, always bring a swimsuit. Trips...

But wait... don’t haybale targets stop bullets? Like, nothing can get through them! And there is absolutely no world on the other side. I’ve even heard that if you buy the right paper targets bullets won’t go past those either. It’s like a portal to another dimension.

Oh my gosh are you my neighbor?!🤣 one across the way set up a dirt mound for target practice and every Christmas you can guarantee the big guns are coming out! I love it!

That is annoying to me. I have two neighbors who work on vehicles. One has had cows, pigs, and roosters. Across the street is a field that they work at unbelievably early hours. Then, they turned a field across the way into a trailer park...that has concerts. It used to be the nice trailer park...

Happy birthday!

Good for you and congratulations. I personally hate all forms of hot wire and can’t get most of it to work. I stand impressed by your one woman show. 👏

Wow. Sounds like so much excitement. Are you sure you can take it?

Interesting.
