Hey Coral - I have been to Admiral a couple of times and always enjoyed it - especially when BigOkie is there. If you decide to go this Saturday morning let me know - I have a couple of roo chicks you might want to sell/trade there! One BLRW, one splash Ameraucana, one blue Ameraucana...

you mean you know how many chickens you have i lost count years ago
My husband and my son say that if you know how many guns you have, you don't have enough. Suppose I could convince them that holds true for chickens as well?

Sheep, llamas, and alpacas....and hoof trimming on those plus goats...and the occasional mini horse, donkey or mule (if a certified farrier won't come/can't be found).
I may need to hire you to help me with my Shetland Sheep and llamas, or see if you know anyone in the OKC area...

Do you shear llamas or just sheep?
If you shear llamas I will chicks, eggs and roos for shearing. I have two boys and they look really bad after I get a hold of them but at least they are cool.
I work on either cash/trade . What kinds of birds do you have??

So it would be OK to bring non-NPIP birds to Poops? We're not tested yet....we're thinking about it...but want to get more infrastructure in before. I'm not even sure how much it costs...or how much of a pain it would be. I like to buy at sales/ swaps etc from just anyone if the birds are...
Got eggs hatching tomorrow! A hopeful pr of Embden (I guess our gander got eaten yesterday....:( so hopefully we'll get some goslings from them) and 15 Frizzle banties. The Frizzles are a friends but if they hatch well I'll keep a couple....don't need them, lol, but they'll be adorable. And...

Greybear: I got did get some Black Leghorn eggs.....no more info on them than that . Hopefully they'll hatch well....and I won't need all of them....I just want a trio or a quad of so. I'll let y'all know when they start hatching. Just got a 100% hatch last night from my eggs, 9 sumatra, 2...

Definitely true, that's part of why I really want to get an internship...networking plus there is the money and great experience. Hogs wouldn't be my first choice....I only have experience raising feeder hogs....but I wouldn't turn it down. As long as it's Livestock oriented I'm...

OMG.....Surely they won't stay in business long?! I'm not planning to start offering anything to anyone but family/as good as for the first 3-5 years. Since I wouldn't trust my goats to anyone with less experience...then I start a mobile business and build up to having my own location...

bad plan....plan on having fun! College is way more than lectures and books. Get involved with campus life
But kidding season is fun, lol. Campus life can have me M-F and maybe part of some weekends....but I love the farm...it'll be hard enough leaving it.

Animal Science, option for Ranch Operations (focusing on reproduction and Nutrition) is the plan. Still not sure exactly what job I'm aiming for short run. But at least for now (I haven't introduced my plan to reality yet, lol) I'm planning to get an internship in an Ag department, find...

That's' great that you are able to keep them even if you have to cut back. I like brahmas, bantam or standard?
