    New goat(s) owner..Maybe..

    That's the way I'm leading.... I'm going to get two of the smaller breed instead of one bigger guy... Last thing I want is unhappy pets.. My pig was raised with dog's and would come in the house and take naps in my livingroom.

    New goat(s) owner..Maybe..

    40 years ago I wanted to raise goats while I was in FFA but because the goat barn was already full I ended up raising a pig. I own a place that has a sleep hill . I have to wear baseball cleats to keep from falling on my back side... I'm against using a weed killer.... I have a nice flat area...

    Heated inside pool vs ventilation?

    I would say with the right ventilation it would be fine.. If his system has been thought a winter or 2 without mold hes doing something right

    I'm here in California where water saving is a lifestyle. I have a small pond with a large water filter system... Once the weather is a little better I'm going to make a video of my set up. I don't have to change the water ever. I do have to add maybe 3 gallons because they splash it out. I...

    I maintain over 200 thousand gallons of pool and spa water for work. And I have a small duck pond at home. I personally wouldn't let a duck use a swimming pool even one day. My company uses top notch chemicals feeder to keep water balanced. Back washing filters don't remove the duck poop and...

    Light in coop during winter months ??

    I agree with Art. But I would add a light inside and outside to make it easier for you when you have to go to the coop at night . I keep solar lights around my run so I can just look outside to make sure nothing is going on
