Hi All,

I'm Meg, in southern Cumberland County, popping over from the Backyard Chickens forum. I'll be looking for wool-breed sheep wethers soon to raise out for wool and meat, if there are any NC breeders here. I also posted a swap possibility in your swap forum.

We've got a small farm. We used to have a breeding flock of sheep and I used to raise French angoras too, but we now limit to poultry and raising locker lambs. Just hubby and myself and three mastiffs since the kids are grown. Nice to meet you!

Hi, Meg! You're not far from us. We are in SE Bladen County - near Elizabethtown.

HI Meg! I'm in Iredell county. Its me and hubby and our two boys.........so we stuck with only one mastiff for now! SHe's a Cane Corso, and was a rescue. She's pretty small, only 155-160, so I call her my mini-mastiff, lol.

Hehe I guess this thread is a bit stale isn't it?

Let's see if anything interesting has happened...
We had to re-de horn the goats... the first try apparently we didn't get all of them on either goat =/ They started growing back. Luckily, my wife is a veterinarian and we just took them to the clinic (got some interesting looks from the clients when we put them on the scales) This time it seems that we got it all

Goats love apple trees... don't let them anywhere near one if you want to keep it. I had a 4' fence around the base of 2 trees, they were probably 7 feet tall or so.. In the span of 3 hours, they had ripped the fence down and had eaten every leaf and over 1/2 the bark off of each tree...

We got a new puppy. She is an Irish Red White Setter. Her name is Madigan (Irish meaning = "Little Dog") She is about 11 weeks old now.
