Hey..good to see you on here...I wasn’t checking...I milk my ND...she has pretty small teats..it works a totally different part of your finger muscles..and if you use a machine..I’ve gone through three..and very expensive...didn’t care for them....anyways..with a machine you usually need to buy...

My goats barely use the area we have. They are free range...well yesterday they were bad so they got locked up..they are eating our 20+ year old pine trees that are supposed to block wind. Ugh. Chris was very mad. It’s been an ongoing issue. But he refuses to put any fencing around...

I tried to buy a doe today...alpine....the ad said doe...she was pictured with the kids....but he was selling the kids...big bummer. I told him to keep my number. He is a good looker!! @chickens really ...I see all your snow! Ours just melted,but we got more today and it’s coming down like...

Ok, the back, where there is the tarp Ed area...is she jumping on top of there and then getting over? How high is all the fencing now? Is it sturdy enough, or does it give enough for her to jump and it give away to her weight? If that’s the case, she might get hurt in in one day. I have...

Hay is free choice here too, but I’m giving goat pellets to the kids twice daily since they are weaning.....pot and cal is the right ratio for wether

I can’t get alfalfa hay here...we use mixed grasses, about to start haying ourselves..just bought all the equipment. But I was feeding pellets while pregnant and now during milking...

I got ducklings yesterday...Muscovies..😀❤️🦆...only 4 this time!! Not 43! ever again!!🤣

@MillersFarm ...geez...thanks for the alfalfa pellets info too!! My buckling is new, and I didn’t realize about the cal and pho’s...what about alfalfa hay that everyone feeds? Doesn’t have that in it? I’ll only let my does have the pellets when the kids are locked up while I’m milking....

Oh yeah...I know you do...Ive seen them playing MANY times...and heard about their lovely walks...aren’t those dog pens 6’ high? Hows she jumping that?

Oh geez, alfalfa pellets are a staple for my goats!! I can’t really get the hay around here, so I use the pellets as a replacement. They love them. When starting a new feed..go slowly. Gives the rumen time to adjust. But I typically give my goats pellets plus grain through the winter. Then...

Like a dog kennel pen? How big of an area 10’x12’?

You rake up the goat poop? How small is their pen? Ok...my goat pen is VERY large. But...they also free range for mos5 of the days. They are really only in the pen when we are gone for a long while. They are trained not to go beyond the Pine trees...so, they have several acres tha5 they...

No...they are small enough to not be a problem. When they go in the barn..yes, that needs cleaned, but not outside. Chris woke me up a few days ago telling me he thinks we could live off the farm for at least a year...with our huge garden, and animals, eggs, goat milk, etc. I said...we’re not...

Oh my gosh...downsizing goats?? How many does she have? I’m actually thinking of getting another one if I can find an alpine in the area for a good price. They are good milk producers. I get more than a gallon from Busty a day. I’d like to have more than one that produces that much since...

Yes, that is true. I have tons of bunnies to sell for Easter. A month ago I had to turn people away because I didn’t have enough. Now I’ve only sold two. I have more than 50 bunnies and four does are pregnant. I hope they all turn up false! I can’t afford to feed that many bunnies!! I...

Actually, yes!! We have soooooo many antique trucks, you wouldn’t believe me up if I told you. We actually bought a movie theater to put them all in!! The few around the farm, are...not wo much, so, he tinkers on them from time to time, but doesn’t worry about rust. There’s a green one next...

Is Fancy behaving? The Muscovies that I’m waiting for ...8 have hatched. 1/2 ate black and white. The batch that should have lavender will hatch in two weeks. I told her I could buy two now and take my chances with the n3xt batch...but she said no, she won’t list them until I get my first pick!!

We went out and got bananas, oranges and ice cream, hung up rabbit signs, got free veggies for the animals. Then we came home and made our own ice cream out of goat milk...yummm!! Took 7 minutes!! Yesterday the goats really had fun, gave them cranberry sauce...huge hit!! Lots of play!! I...

Quiet thread today...everyone was very busy!!

@chickens really ...so, have the ducks left yet? How are you doing? I was ok the first day...sad the next...still carried my egg basket out for three days. I just reserved 4 Muscovies..,ducklings...in about two weeks or so. The lady wants them to be a week old when I get them. She’s hop8n*...
