We have a Miniature Jersey Bull that is beautiful, with a great temperament that needs to get sold. He has been tested and verified as A1/A2. He stands about 36'' at the hip. We are asking $1500 for him. He is registered and his sire/dam are here on-site. His sire is a proven breeder and...

Thanks for everyone's input. Whenever one endeavors to acquire a new type and breed of animal it is confusing and overwhelming. The advice and information is invaluable! I do at least have the LGD's covered and I do plan to start small and grow to be sure it is going to work out. There is...

I usually take pictures on the weekend after their baths, I'll post some more on here this weekend. You're right, they grow incredibly fast!

Yes, we had a litter of nine on May 20th. They are SO sweet, fluffy, and fun!

What are some important, good questions I should ask sellers when looking for sheep to purchase? What is the difference between the GR and RR factor? What is the important facts and nuances I need to know about Dorper sheep? Thanks in advance for everyone's help! :D

Spot Master hit the nail on the head. I'd pull the grain for sure. And, like he said, if you are not using a probiotic...I'd start.

They are great dogs. However, we have no complaints with our Pyrenees. They are great with the animals and even protective over our kids.

We just got our large blacks today. They are about four months old. They are acting somewhat scared of us so I was wondering if someone had any tips or techniques that would ease their transition and socialize them to us. Thanks in advance for all the help!

I can't help with the lameness, that is odd. As far as eating goes, I put some sweet feed on top of the usual feed on occasion when my goats seem like they are getting tired of their feed.

We also use fly predators that we order from Arbico organics. They will not eliminate every single fly but I swear by these fly predators. Our barn is relatively close to our house and the flies are horrendous if we don't have them! Definitely worth it and easy to use.

We can't wait for my son to be old enough to do 4-H (next year). I was in 4-H and FFA all through school. These are such wonderful programs for youth and I am thrilled to see that they are still around and thriving. Good luck to all of you showing!

I am glad to see everyone highly recommending large blacks because my husband is going to pick up a few for our farm on Wednesday. I am also glad to hear that they are really docile. Of course we read up on them and researched them but it is always better to hear it from those who have first...

AW! Your new babies are beautiful. Amazing how they each look like their parents. My babies came out looking nothing like the parents but a mixture, except for one (we had four). Very sweet.

Glad you found a can food they liked. Someone dropped off a baby kitten at our barn last year. He was only about 4 weeks old also. He took to the can food but wasn't pooping either. If your kittens still have not pooped after eating you may have to give them some stimulation. I wiped this...

Molly's Herbs are great. The only ingredient that is not a natural flora in the wormer powder is sourwood. My goats have never had a negative reaction to the wormer. I think you should give it a shot at least. If you still want to give the herd shots, you should pull the kid off the mom and stop...

I have asked my farrier what he does when he has to trim an unwieldy horse. His two word response was "Have Patience". Anyone that has horses knows that they are smart enough to act on their own accord. This is what makes them trainable, lovable, and downright frustrating at times. That guy was...

It is only too late to disbud when you can no longer fit the cutters around the horns. However, the older that they get, the harder and riskier the procedure is. When I have waited too long in the past, I keep my newly disbudded goats in the barn for a week so I can keep flies off of them and...

lunaflora is correct. Lime will work wonders as long as you use the right kind. I use hydrated lime in the barn only after I have had an animal in there for a long time and need to deep clean the stall before another animal is put in the stall. And as said above, make sure you either get it...
