Thanks for the info i'm going over there right now to check it out. I recently joined weight watchers at work program. I mainly do it for the support becuse i cheat to much on my own. But my coworkers are not very supportive, ugh so frustrating!
So maybe this is just what I need to help...
I am pondering on purchasing an extra wether this year to feed out and butcher. I have never eaten goat meat before. So tell me what does it taste like and how does it cook up (greasy, lean etc)
Out of my 11 girls i have 5 "older ladies" that are molting then I have 6 girls that are 8 months old. They have all stopped laying! We are on 2 weeks now of no eggs. I can understand the Ladies who are molting but my girls? I thought someone was actually stealing my eggs but I ruled that...

I am south of Ft. Wayne. What about the swap meet up around Knox, IN and Albion, IN. I have seen salmons there, I am actually hoping to get to the aug one so I can try to find me a salmon hen.
