    Coop is getting expensive

    Sounds like we are no the only ones throwing money at it. Electricity is in now and fence posts up. Looks like we are going to keep Elk, or Bison in it with those big posts!

    Feeding questions?

I called Dunlap and they said that they received them from a single breeder (unidentified). They did inform me that they are a X from a New Hampshire X RIR, then the resulting...
