Good luck to you and your miracle girl! I am sure we are all hoping for good news soon.

definitely put a buyer beware out nothing I hate more then being lied to about what I am buying.

not sure about that but I have seen rabbits lower their ears when they are not feeling well or have ear mites also make sure it is not too hot for the rabbit. Sometimes it feels ok to us but the rabbits are hot. Especially large breeds like this.

Technically most animals should never be fully trusted. They can all do lasting damage, some more then others. I do not "cringe" as you say when I see and hear about people petting their bulls all over, as something bad can happen in many different species. After all, people raise horses to...

Thank you. Always nice to hear about a bull with a great temperament. Not all bulls are untrustworthy as most farmers will tell you. In my experience it is the bull that passes on the personality the most. We have had mean bulls here, (mostly Herefords, Angus and Charolais), but luckily the...

*just one tip* I would not use a mower that leaves any residue on the grass. Animals have a tendency to eat their bedding and anything left on the grass (such as oil/gas), even when dried, can make them sick and possibly die...a push mower might work better then regular mowers for this.

So glad you have found the help you needed and are taking the right steps to care for your minis. I cannot even imagine how hard a time a 2 yr old mini would have being in foal. Hope everything goes as planned. PS your mini is beautiful

she is lovely :) typical Percheron rear end :P love that her tail is not docked. Hate to see that only because it makes me sad to see them try to bat at the flies...

LOL I noticed that we were the only posters and felt kinda bad. I do not mean to rant about breeding and such, and I definitely do not mean to take over this topic. Just saw the thread when I joined and had to insert my own opinion just in case the topic starter still needed help. Your boy...

If you are just breeding one calf a year for your own freezer then you can go ahead and cross your cow with another breed. If you want a bigger sized calf go with angus or something similar. If you want to stay small, go with a dexter or dexter like breed. The temperament of the calf will depend...

He looks like he could have a bit of STB in him but honestly if he is from a rescue he could be anything. He kind of looks like our old STB mare, mostly in the face, but he also looks like a taller version of a Caspian stallion I handled at school I have ridden a quarter horse x welsh mare...

Deb, I am glad to see a responsible breeder stating her own two cents. A responsible breeder considers everything when breeding. Conformation, bloodlines, the current market and of course your own financial situation. I will be honest and say that I would probably never pay 5000 for one...

Yes that is what I meant by *snatch* :D I would love to have such lovely horses here..although they look like they will dwarf my two :P

That will be a big problem when you choose a breed like this. Especially finding ones not closely related. Keep looking around. Sometimes there is a private farm that has a breed you are looking for but you never see them advertised. I know we have found some breeders just from driving around...

When a mare is violent with a stallion like that I would NEVER risk pasture breeding and most likely not even in hand breeding unless she can be prevented from harming the stallion somehow. AI does work great for horses like that, can be costly but think about it this way: How much would it...

Not sure if you still need help with this but since I just joined I thought I would share a helpful site. TheHorse.com "A mare in heat typically exhibits gait abnormalities, raises her tail, urinates repeatedly, and interacts unpredictably with people and other horses. " from the article 'Mares...

Highlands like Dexters are usually a very docile breed. We raise Irish Dexters and have come across highlands more then once. They seem more like the gentle, calm Dexters then our Angus and Angus cross cattle. But in all breeds you will get a more high strung animal, especially if they are...
