My Peeps, I will let you know if I go and what it's like. I pretty much just want to go to see what it's like myself! I want a goat too but my wife is having none of it. Lol

My husband just shakes his head when I come up with these ideas. Then he goes off and builds me what I need. Lol. He is the one that insisted a hobby would be good for my sanity. Being a stay at home mom, isolated from other grown ups can make a person go batty some days! Solution = chickens and possible goat! Lol.
Try a Nigerian Dwarf or if she likes fuzzy things a Nigora (Nigerian/Angora cross). They are both good milk goats as well as being tiny and cute. Pygmies are cute but have enough muscle to jump a 4 foot fence! Myotonic goats (Wooden Leg, Faintering Goats) can be large or small and can't jump well or scramble out of fences well. They are also breeding a variant with long straight hair called Silkies. It now has it's own registry. They are small with long hair and varying amounts of fainting.
He's home!
Glad to hear, it's always difficult when they decide to "fly the coop".
Can I borrow him for the building part? DH just looks at me like I have 3 heads.
She says I have too many chickens already plus the whole goats jumping on everything. I would be happy just borrowing someone's goat for a little while to clear out weeds and brush. It would have to be tied up and moved around as needed. I only have 3 acres and the neighbors probably would not be enthusiastic about a goat running around.
goodhi, how r u?
as for how long you're there, we go around nine, leave when they take the lunch break, before the big animals, so sometimes its four hours or better, i would love to stay and bid on a beef cow , but my hubbie would have a kitten if i bought another cow and i don't want another kittenI'm new to all of this. I have no idea what NPIP means but I will look it up. All the eggs I bought online have been from out of state and this wasn't mentioned
Wow. I thought that was a good price. I'll have to check out the auctions instead of Craigslist. I've only been to building supply auctions, never an animal one.
If you go let me know what it is like. I really want a goat and a few more breeds of chicks.
I have a white silkie rooster. Very friendly. I can get a picture tomorrow if you want.
How long are you usually there for? Took the kids to a building supply auction at the same place and it was a disaster. Very long day for all of us
Our huge family cookout is at my house on Sunday. I've been neglecting laundry and the house since we have been outside in the pool lately. I have sooooo much cooking and cleaning to do. Not easy when you have 3 little kids that makes messes faster than I can clean. Lol.
Here is my youngest playing with the chickens while I was putting the new mulch down today.[/URL]

we went thru the goat stage years ago when our son was around 9, he wanted a milk goat, so a friend found us a nice little nanny already in milk, that lasted about a year, then mother took over, milked for many years, til we lost her, by that time father had also learned to milk as back up for mother, when we lost buns, thought that would be the end of goats but a few years down the road father came home with a little white goat that we had as a pet for years, then the other week father came home with a little doe and her baby, but she wouldn't stay in our pasture, so back they went so now we're goatless again. we just have the three mini horses and the dexter cows and mini hereford bull.
