I had herd that about those, our Drake in a ruen and he seems alright is he is a little over zealous with the one lady

oh my what a butt, ours doesn't seem that bad but he does have his favorite mistress

the orpingtons are so pretty, I have 7 ducks 1 in a drake and 2 are ducklings to young to tell, I love silkies too they are so cute. good to know the the orpington has a mean side I will keep that in mind

LOL OH my!! I keep looking for dairy Nigerians at a decent price, and I am constantly scoping out chickens and ducks I want Dorking and Orpingtons, and Indian Runners

I will definitely keep everyone posted on the goats, I have read a ton of blogs on hiking and camping with milk goats the only thing that you would have to be careful of is with cleanliness and then cooling the milk after the milking. but if you bring either extra baby wipes or a spray bottle...

Our goats are in their first year so not milking yet, but I have it all planned out. I will milk twice a day once kids are weaned. and we camp and hike a lot I just plan on taking them with me. or getting my mom out here to watch over things lol. the laundry detergent is simple, 1 bar plan...

what ever you do DO NOT get the store bought kind it is revolting. Find someone who has good milking goats and try theirs (chilled is best) My hubby was really really skeptical about it so I managed to get a Lamancha in milk for a couple days and hand milked her and every one loved it, even my...

goodness, I would definitely get a few goats lol we only have the two does and I want more next spring we are on a list to get a Lamancha doeling, and depending on how this season goes I might sell one of my current does or trade for a doe with a higher butter fat

oh wow, I thought we went through the milk, LOL DH loves milk but it doesn't love him so he has had to curb his milk drinking and all things dairy which a another great reason for goats. We are a family of 7 sometimes 8 if my little brother is here we can go through a gallon a week some times...

It all depends on what you need and how much milk your family goes through, for us the amount that the Alpine is suppose to give is what made them the right choice, however I am determined to add to my herd probably a Nubian and a Nigerian. I am determined to make my own ice cream and the...

what I did was I got a couple books on dairy goats, and did a lot of online research and went over each dairy breed and look into their butterfat(what makes the milk rich and creamy) and how much they give out a day on average, and compared it to what my family and for me my mom's family would...

mine are just doelings and my oldest is running with our buck as I type, so hopefully we will have milk in the new year. But as of yet we are not milking. I picked them because a decent Alpine can give at least 1 gallon a day. A really really good milker 2-3 gallons a day. Our older doe...

I actually LOVE my goats, when I was first looking into getting a dairy animal I originally thought about and seriously looked into a Dexter cow even had the farm I wanted her from and a name picked out, my switch came from realizing that even though I have 2 useable acres there is not enough...
