It took a little while but we are N ewe N doe farm a play on words I thought was clever. Since we raise sheep and goats. I think Hoover Hollow then your chicken coop could be Hen house at Hoover Hollow.

I too am a Kansan born and raised. Where are you at we are 30 miles south of Salina near the town of Gypsum. We have dairy goats, meat goats,and kathdin hair sheep. Welcome to BYH.

I have seen a goat dressed like a angel that was funny. But how bout the cowardly lion and the good witch I can't remember her name and I'm from Kansas. Here is an off the wall idea something like Paul Bunyun and his blue ox Babe. Bet noone would think of that. Just an idea. Have fun whatever...

It sure could be a testicle once and awhile you think you have 2 there and there is only one. I would reomend that you have a vet basically "cut" the wether most of the time there is not enough skin left there to band again. But check for yourself first make sure it is a testicle not just an...

A very informative site to visit for just about anything goats. www.goatworld.com or www.jackmauldin.com. Jack Mauldin has a lot of stuff from record keeping to "secret remedies" that are very helpful and informative.

They will squeal for a little while but then its ok they are up and down a lot but by the next day they are moving ok. And yes the horn growth is important you don't want them to big. I know someone that dissbuds 3 days old and has never had a problem. But as far as banding that is the easiest...

It is not a hard thing to do after the first time or two. Cost a dissbudding iron is around 40-50 dollars. The cheaper ones I don't think get as hot and it will take longer to do. A "kid box" is very handy to. Those can be found in hoegger catalog or caprine suppy catalog. The key is to have...

Today was my birthday I was sitting around wondering what I was going to get from my Hubby. He gave me an empty rabbit cage and said we get to go pick out a bunny in the next week or two. We have a cage, water bottle, feed dish and my husband is working on a cat proof play yard for it. What else...

I think the first big hurdle that must be jumped. Is to set up a definition of livestock that is what horses are. I grew up on a dairy farm I had pet calves but they were still livestock. Same with horses. It is a romantic notion of the old west and mustangs running free. But the reallity is its...

We have a facebool friend in South Africa that raises IVGs. The colors dapples and roans and the colors we pay big money for are common place. We've joked with him about sending some of the goats over here or us moving over there. He lives on a mountain and let me tell you it is a beautiful...

I'm glad there are others out there that think like I do. When there were horse slaughterhouses here there was inspections, big brother was watching. Now the animals are being shipped long distances to end up in mexican slaughter houses that are just nonregulated disaster areas for the animals...

The label should tell you how much liquid to mix with the package and wht percent solution that would be. Then you read on the label it should tell you how many animals and at that percent solution you should be able to treat. If you can't figure it out and I know it gets confusing cause we...

We also had a foamer once. When we first noticed it I was at work and my husband called me frantic about a foaming doe. I told him shee was probably just chewing her cud. And that I couldn't. Do anything cause I was at work. A little bout my husband he is a city boy I transplanted to the farm...

We opened the pen today and let them out. But we took the dorper cross out cause he is real stiff on his frontend. We need to work on his hooves then we will mix then together but I had heard that a small pen was the best to start with. The 2 new ones were after our big 250 pound boer buck with...

I can't figure out how to get them uploaded. I've tried with no luck so far. But I will keep trying.

I just bought 2 new katahdin rams. How should I go about introducing them to the ram I already have so I can pen them together? The ram I have is a dorper/ st croix cross they are all about the same size and weight and I would guess they are of similar age.

We have 3 LGDs 2 fullblood anatolians and 1 half anatolian pyr mix. The anatolians have free room of the yard and 1 jumps the fence and gets in with the goats if she hears something out in the pasture. They aren't very people friendly just notice your there then back to laying by the fence. If...

Thanks for all your well wishes. Someone asked if she was still blind no her eyes are fine. The only thing "wrong" is very mild. She is a little thin and dried up but that's ok. She kind of has the run of the place since she got home. She gets extra feed cause we are trying to get some weight...

Sorry for your loss. We had a pyr for awhile and out here our closest neighbor is over a mile away. One day the neighbor came over and dropped a dead chicken at my husbands feet and said" That's it the gun will be loaded" and we understood fully if your pet kills livestock there should be...

We were sooooo happy we would have probably danced around but when we got back home we had company.LOL I don't hold out much hope for her coming back into here milk. But tonight when I milked her out her udder went down real nice no hardness.
