So is 1.2 acres too small for a small Jersey heifer?

For those that have limited space for a cow, what do you do with the manure? Burn it? Sell it?

We tried our hand at dairy goats earlier this summer. We hated it! We really wanted a milk cow, but heard so many good things about having milk goats instead, that we went that route. I'd like to hear opinions about milking goats vs. milk cows. I am still open to getting a milk cow. But are...

OH how I would love to buy the first born little fella!!!! He would have to be flown, though. I would also have to convince hubby. Does anyone know what age is the youngest you can ship a goat on Continental airlines? Also, if I get him, can you de-horn him before shipping?

I keep reading and hearing so much about Kinders. Can anyone tell me the differences and opinions between Kinders and Nigerian Dwarfs??? thanks!

Ok I will do some digging around. I found a thread about dehorning after being grown. Definitely not for my new babies. We have some grazing area for them. The previous owner brought us some sweet feed, just to get us by for a few days. Thanks!

I love Wisconsin!! My dh was born there, but grew up in western IL. All of his family on his mother's side still lives up there and I just love when we get up there to visit. I hate to have to leave!

I just love Highlands!!! They are such beautiful creatures~!

I've always used a glass jar. It takes about 15 minutes of shaking for a pint of cream. (I use a quart jar, and you have to have "shaking room"). I enjoy shaking it, honestly. Pretty fun to watch the cream turn to butter literally in your hands.
