Thanks for sharing! I've often thought about using them... after reading your post I'm ALL inspired!!! :D

I can read German! If you get your hands on that book I'll put it into English for you! :) I have been keeping records like that for my animals all of my life, but not for myself- however, I am going to begin, and am also going to keep logs for everyone in my family- known allergies, what...

I would suggest you learn to spin using wool first, then move to the alpaca. Take the poster above up on the offer to trade some sheeps wool for alpaca fleece, learn to use the wool, then start using the alpaca fleece- it is far too valuable to be used for practice! Your first couple of balls...

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Wow. What will I be able to feed the animals? We feed them ALL alfalfa, from the horses to the goats & sheep to even a little bit for the chickens! Then we put the manure on the gardens. I guess we will have to go to feeding homegrown corn fodder sooner than we'd...

OOohhh good idea :)

Isn't it sad that I had to include the first part, yet nobody listens to it... I am allowed to have my own opinion, believe it or not. I never said it couldn't be the molasses, but since you ask, the reason I am not factoring it in is because SIL doesnt give her goats grain with molasses. I...

YAY!!!!! :lol:

Yes, I had to resist the urge to load up on them myself... Mom has enough, I dont need to add to it hahaha I love/hate goats.

Thanks :D

That's the same way we use it- for certain things, and we watch the prices. Also, dont buy things you dont need just because they are in bulk or on sale hahaha For us, Sam's is the cheapest place to get tires, too.

The yogurt IS made with a live culture added to it, just as we did for over 20 years, and it will not set up like it should unless you add rennet, vinegar, or lemon juice. I'm talking about setting milk on the countertop for a couple of days, even a week, and it wont go bad at room temperature...

I copied this from the ones above, and dont know where they got it, so some of the numbers are missing... 01. Name? Michelle 02. Gender? Female 03. Where Do You Live? NM 04. What is your favorite colors? pink, purple, blue 05. What is your favorite kind of gum? depends... usully Trident...

1. What state/province/country are you in and what is your climate like? NM/USA, very arid 9% humidity over 7000' above sea level"high desert" We have a lot of pine and pinon trees, sagebrush, and only get grass if it snows enough (and it snows a LOT... our town holds the record for 3rd...

I haven't noticed... we dont really have too many ants, except for big red ones that are really good at staying outside. I'll try it this spring to see what they do with it. My chickens eat the cracked corn last out of their poultry scratch and sometimes wont eat the cracked corn at all, when...

WELL SAID.

How do you pasture them? Are they tame and come when called? What sort of fence do you need, and how big of a pasutre?

Good! Then you've got a corner market! :D They are attractive little bucks :)

I was raised with dairy goats, and we had a LOT of milk every day... once we had our fill and had our cheese & yogurt and ice cream, etc, we would give milk to the dogs, cats, and clabbered milk to the chickens- we'd set some milk out on the counter and it would clabber within a day or 2...

Is that $1000 PROFIT, over cost & labor, that you make from the eggs and meat chickens? If so, would you mind detailing how you get that?
