Introduction

[Farmerdad]

Greetings all. I'm an over the hill wanna be farmer whose mother grew up on the farms of Wyoming. I always wanted one of my own and decided to do something about it now.

I have a pair of goats, but I was wondering if my flocks of chickens and ducks would count as herds, lol.

Hey! Welcome from Colorado. I definitely count chickens and ducks as herds.
This place is so helpful for learning everything about raising livestock.

Sure they count as herds! We all do what we can to fit where we are. I was a member here for 5 years, avidly reading and studying the forums while living on a small city lot with chickens in the backyard and a garden in the front. LOL We retired to 8 acres and now we have sheep, chickens, 5 LGDs , 3 feeder pigs and 3 horses. Already had the horses, but lived in town.

This is a friendly bunch of people so join in the conversation and enjoy knowing that there are a lot of folks just like you.

Great adventure you are starting out on.

What kind of goats? Do you milk them?
