    New heifer!

    This adorable cutie pie was just born this morning, at 11:30 AM. Daisy started intense labor probably around 6ish, and we were able to watch the birth. It's cold here (had a few flurries this afternoon) so we gave her a fleece jacket. We haven't decided on a name yet, but have narrowed it...

    12 week bunny squeaks and thumps

    One of my friends 12 week Lion Heads has started squeaking and thumping whenever my friend goes to pick her up, but stops as soon as my friend is holding her. She just started this behavior recently -- up until a few days ago it was no big deal. My friend has read that they will thump when...

    Tying/locking horses in at night?

    Just wondering how many of you horse owners tie/lock your horses in at night. Is it necessary? Anyone leave them free to come in and out as they please? The farm with the Percherons we've been working with ties them in their open stalls at night. One of our friends ties (or locks) her 3 in; she...

    ? about Haflingers

    Which would be better: Haflinger gelding, Haflinger/Saddlebred cross gelding, or Haflinger mule? Jobs would be general hauling/pulling, plowing, and occasional riding, living on 3 acres, with a cow/calf pair. We have found all 3 of those on Craigslist, but are unsure which would be better...

    It's going to snow tomorrow night....

    In 2010 I had surgery, so now every time the weather is going to turn bad my incision sites ache. They're hurting now, so I went to check the weather... I think it runs in the family, because my dad has the same problems. Anyone else have it?

    Can't add my location

    I am unable to change my location in my profile. I go to my profile, and under "Personal" I go to select country and this is what I get: The State drop down list is blank, and the only thing I can change is the region. Any ideas? It's been like this for a while and I never found out why.

    Deworming pigs

    Hey all, I'm new here. I've been around over on BackYardChickens for several years though. :) We are looking for a good dewormer for our 2 pigs -- most of the things we've found are injectable... and none of us (the 3 grown-up girls in the house) have the guts to do an injection. Do any of you...
