Well that would work with mine. 12' post, 4' in ground, 8' out of ground. We use a post digger that attaches to a tractor so it's really easy. The grass helps keep the soil together with the roots. If you're wondering why I say Kenia and Kida are trained it's because they come when they are called. They are 2 years old and will be 3 years old March 1.

You can still be in 4-H when you are in high school. I just went with FFA and Marching Band Freshman year so I didn't have much time if I were to join 4-H. Sophomore year I quit Marching band because the director got really mad when I went to a 1 hour FFA meetings at the beginning of his 4 hour band practices. Not sure why he kept thinking he could decide where I went and what I did and then chewing out my parents for letting me go to FFA meetings. My parents chewed him back out and then he tried failing me. That changed when my parents came in with the Principal. Also how he kept having meetings trying to change my mind by putting me on bass drums since I was Cymbals Freshmen year. Favorite thing he said to try and get me to change my mind, "You have gotten really good compared to what you started out at the beginning of the year. To be honest you kind of sucked." Exactly how is that to have me stay. I memorized the entire song before everybody and knew where I was suppose to be. I'm really into FFA, especially this year since I'm going to try and get my State Degree. I got my Greenhand Freshmen year, Chapter Sophomore year, hopefully this year I will get State and then eventually get my American Degree.

Helps when you hatch them out and let them out into the yard and lock them up in a kennel at night doing the same rutine everyday.

He is. He's more into beef though than poultry. I have my own small heard of one cow, one heifer that is 8 months, and I own part of the breeding Gelbvieh bull. All of my cattle they I raise are Gelbviehs. My dad raises Black Angus, Balancers (a cow or bull that is half and half between two breeds, Angus and Gelbvieh), and Gelbvieh. My dad likes the chickens but just because of the eggs of course. Peafowl mainly for the feathers so I can sell them. My dad likes White peafowl so that's why he gave into me getting whites so easily compared to the others.

I personally love the smaller dairy cows, like Dexter and Jersey. If I have a couple acres I would have a small herd of those. I would get dairy cows as opposed to beef cows because if i could only have a small herd I wouldn't want it to be cows for slaughter.

Maybe one dairy cow. We used to milk the Jersey when she only had her calf but we weren't keeping up with drinking the milk when we got milk so we would almost have milk go bad so we would buy an extra calf to put on her. Jersey Raw Milk, Dreamy. What would you do with the calves if you bred your cows of course? I don't want to ruin this for you but about 10% of meat in the grocery store comes from a dairy cow or steer. Dairy bulls get really mean just to let you know. We have a class at our school called Dairy Science and we had to do a project on what would happen if the Dairy industry was wiped out both grocery store and economics which the meat was part of the economics. Most of your food products would be gone. We have one Jersey cow. Every year we end up with a twin and the mom doesn't except so we put the calf on the Jersey. Milk Replacer got too expensive so we decided to get a Nurse cow instead. We sell off the calves and then when we get a cow that gets to old we sell her. We only raise one cow that becomes to much of a problem that we fatten up and eat. I've shown a steer though but we didn't buy any of his meat. His name was Auptomis Prime and he went Prime.

He was amazing as you can see I trusted him a lot.
