    I am ENTIRELY new to raising goats. The two Toggie does I am going to buy will be a little over a year old when they move in. I know the people who have them and the doelings are currently with their mothers. I guess what I want to know is: 1. What are Toggie does usually like? Temperament? 2...

    Goats and sheep living together???

    I have heard that before. Have you ever taken sheep or goats to 4H? I have no idea what kind of feed to give them for show quality animals.....also if I am feeding hay how many "flakes" per day should each animal eat?

    Goats and sheep living together???

    I am positive this question has been asked before, but can goats and sheep be kept together? I know they have to have different grain supplements and minerals. I am probably going to have 2 Suffolk ewe lambs and most likely two Boer does. Temperament-wise how would this work out? I realize size...

    Can sheep and cows be kept together?

    will the sheep avoid the cattle mineral if there are sheep minerals out? also cant I just feed a different complete feed ration for the sheep and cow? how do you feed hay? free choice or twice a day?

    Can sheep and cows be kept together?

    I plan on raising two ewe lambs for 4H next year. I also want to raise a Holstein calf for 4H. The problem is that we don't have the money to build two fences around two pastures.... I have read that sheep and cows can live together, but I have never talked to someone who has done it! Any...

    carriers please!

    I am taking twice as many birds to fair this year as I did last year and I need a better way to transport them than using cat cages. If you have pictures or cheap ways to make carriers please post them! Thanks!

    cages?

    I keep my show birds at my dad's house (20-25 miles from moms). My question is: can i keep my chickens in cages? they would have to be outside but are mostly wood so how well would that work in wintery conditions? i could cover them with plastic during the winter months.
