Oh, heavens....I live in cowboy/cattle country. Quit dreaming - the movies have glamorized cowboys way too much. Now if there were a Sam Elliot or Tom Selleck running around here I would tell you to come on over....but then again, I may not want to share.....

oh dude! I am soo with you!! Gotta love Sam and Tom! Love the Sacketts!!

OK, OK maybe not only a cowboy but at least a country boy. One that doesn't rool his eyes and complain because I've wanted to have a farm/ranch my whole life. Thing is, he knew what I wanted from the day we met and I've stayed true to myself but feel guilty everyday for it. He on the other hand.......

I love Sam Elliot!

Wanted to apologize to all for getting the Castle stormed yesterday. I guess I might have used the P word but in my opinion it was all VF fault! LOL Stuff was really bugging me but there are other forums better suited to the subject. Problem is this is the only forum I've joined. Sorry, won't happen again.

If you are after meat you should look at Kiko goats.

Thanks!
I actually did not know they were close.
The biggest deal is cost.
Boers are more popular & easier (cheaper) to come by.
I actually (if I get any) will contact the goat rescue here in Western washington, there is alot of goats looking for homes, so when the time comes, I will do that first.
But I did book mark both links!!

It's OK Cowgirl!!
We all make mistakes.
Sometimes it is hard to tell what actual completely innocent word will be taken out of it's context by someone else.
Apologies all around.

I caught no rats agin.
This time, all sticky traps were out, and all rat traps had a wad of velvetta...so far, maple syrup-oatmeal balls, peanut butter, chocolate frosting, grains. pepperoni, and grains have been used for bait.
I looked up rat traps last night & saw an interesting one, uses a 5 gallon bucket, a dowl inserted horizontally through the top of the bucket with a soda/beer can on it.
The dowl runs long ways through the can.
The can can twirl on the dowl.
The can is then painted with peanut butter, picture this in your mind.
Then you fill the bucket with 2 gallons of water.
Then you build a trim board ramp with carpet stapled to it, and attach so rats can walk up the ramp, and jump on the can, which rolls and the rat falls in the water & supposibly drowns.
It said this system can successfully trap & kill multiple rats a day.
I am not so sure a rat couldn't jump right out of the bucket though....think it is worth a try??
I will see if I can find the link~

here is the link:

I am also going to look into some other traps, more open, as this is a smart rat!!
Will not go near any trap regardless of bait, will not go IN any container type trap either...

I agree the Kikos are MUCH more expensive!! Although for your climate I guess they are well suited, over here, Boers do very well they tolerate the heat and do well on little pasture. I have had mine as weed eaters for a year now and I love their personality!! This little girl is a kick!! Never thought about a goat rescue?? Does anyone know how long empty nest lasts?? lol! I think that's why I go through these stages of wanting baby animals?? It started two years ago when I left Wy and my 18 yr old son behind!! He didn't want to come with me and I couldn't make him, but when we bought this property the next thing you know, I'm getting baby everything!! pigs, goats, now it's chicks!!! Terry thinks it's all in my head, but with him gone so much I think it's staying busy and something needing me?? Anyway, it is what it is I guess!!
