I have been doing alot of research on Kinder goats, they originated here in WA state. I'am in touch with several breeder and will be picking up my first set of does on Sunday!! I'am so excited, a have 1 unregistered doe already and also 2 unregistered mini mixed does.I just love these little...

OMG, I can't believe that those kind of places are legal to operate-to me it is just leagl loan sharking. Killing him is not the answer(how could he help pay it off if he is dead), But some serious talking about being open and having communication in your relationship is in order!! Is the car...

Thats what I have been doing Betta, with no success yet. Is there a reason the regular ol feed corn won't sprout?

:welcome great job on the master list, I have never had the time to do it, Thats not true, I have the time, just not the "want to". Enjoy the forum.

So glad to see this thread today. I have read other threads on sprouting grains, so when I mistakenly pick up a bag of whole corn not cracked corn at the feed store last week,I decided to try sprouting it I have been trying to do the bucket method with no success. Can someone please walk me...

Theo- hope everything is good at the farm. This is a nasty weather front we got going here is the NW. Can't believe Seattle got snow like it did.:barnie We got over a ft of snow-"winter wonderland" my A$$. Who ever coined that sayings never lived on a farm or had to drive 20 miles one way...

I haven't kept that close of a track of the price of feed vs what I make. I pay 13.00 for 50lbs of layercrumbles,no place around here to get it cheaper. I off set that price by feeding scrapes and stuff out of garden.I freeze veggies afor the hens so I have stuff year around and raise squash...

Seem as if alot of us sell eggs. I usually sell anywhere from 6dz or more a week. I have a friend who lives in an retirement apt complex in town and she can sell as may as I can get to her. I only charge 2$ a dz its a good deal for the poeple and off sets my feed bill. So this morning I'am...
