I have an excellent purebred registered doe from very good bloodlines... I've bred her the last two years, to two different bucks. Problem is is that a lot of her babies are coming out with genetic deformations and I don't know why...
First kidding was two doelings, which we kept and are now...
I found a horse and completely fell in love, he is amazing! Leased him for 6 months rode 2-3 times a week, everything was great!
A week before we were to sign the contract, the owner had him out lunging in the round pen at my trainers place where I was boarding him. Trainer comes out and is...
I haven't had much of a chance, but wanted to share some pictures of our puppies! They have all gone to their new homes, except Benli, whom a friend bought and we are holding/ training her for her, and the pup we are keeping which we named Kira. :D
Toli had nine, 2 boys and 7 girls.
The two...
This is a convoluted story so I will keep it as brief as possible while still getting across the main points.
I have a feeling my feelings are getting in the way of finding an answer so I need outside opinions on how to handle the situation.
We have been having dog problems with our closest...
We've been farming for about 4 years now struggling with how to make money from it. Feed costs are just so high here the market won't support what it costs me to raise the animals let alone with any profit.
Anyone have any advise? Tips tricks hints etc?
Thank you!
So my does apparently settled on the first breeding, (not the second breeding a week later), so they came a week "early"!
Anywho, the first goat kidded with trips, completely normal and fine. But the second doe kidded with trips and they are very weak. They can barely lift their heads and can't...
So, I do have to admit that my dogs have been VERY good overall. Toli is 11 months now and Diego is 13 months. They have really only "play chased" the goats maybe about 3 times in the whole year I have had them, of which I scruffed them and firmly scolded them, I thought that 'mostly' solved the...
I wanted to wait until Toli was a tad older, but as soon as she hit her heat she became Houdini at getting out of anything I put her in. (Note to self, get hotwire system asap!) Additionally, she'll be over a year old AND is BIGGER than Diego now so I am not too worried about it. It will...
:oops: I used to LOVE BYH, but now I'm hardly ever on anymore and anytime I am on there are hardly any members on and I'm wondering if it's because of the new platform. =(
Well, I'm super frustrated that I can't find an easy way to look at "my posts" like on the bottom of the old site. I'm...
I'd really like to find a purebred Anatolian Male pup for sale. I will need to wait to sell some baby goats first so I have the money, but we have been having HORRIBLE coyotes right now AND there have been FOUR mountain lion sightings just in the last couple months. Toli and Diego need a baby...
I've had all my baby goats on a cocci medicated pellet feed, they love it and eat a ton of it. However I just bred my 8 month olds who are still on it and I was wondering if I need to take them off it since they are now pregnant... Here's the feed.
I bred all my adult does in October and I have one doe (she gave me quads last year) is acting just *SLIGHTLY* off, no scours, eating drinking pooping peeing everything fine. But when I let them out to graze she'll hang back just a little from the others and isn't quite as "greedy" for food as...
I've just finished breeding the last of my does and the first of them are due in 2-3 more months and I already see them showing, and I am getting SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for babies already!!! Seemed like last year was a rollercoaster of emotions, excited, happy, tired, exhausted, over taking...
Every time I click on a smilie to insert it into my text it always shows up at the beginning of my paragraph. I can't figure out how to put it where I want it. I can do simple ones like ; ) to get them in the middle of the paragraph, etc, but I don't know all the code to the news ones and stuff...
How many hours of free-ranging or forage time do goats need to meet their daily caloric needs? We are trying to reduce our feed bill and I am trying to determine how long I need to free-range them each day. :)
Here is our area;
Pictures of my two LGD pups guarding our goats while free-ranging. Toli is the spotted Anatolian female, 8 months old and 75 pounds. Diego is the white Pyrenees/ Anatolian male and is 10 months old and 95 pounds. :D Love these two dogs!!!
I finally decided to sell all my sheep, American Blackbellies. I have a really nice ram and three ewes and I am only asking $400 for all four and I can't find anyone to buy them! :( I don't know what I am doing wrong or what else I should do to find them a home. They are all adults so I don't...
