My girl is 73 lbs and I dosed her with 1cc of Ivomec (injected). It seems like the injected dosage of Ivomec isn't totally clear so I'd rather do more than less. I definitely don't see a reason to do 1cc per 30 lbs injected though. It isn't the Ivomec so much that helps but the Safeguard. You do...

I think the soil was much better back then so the animals got a better diet from grazing. Now our soils are low in nutrients and lacking so much. Weak back legs can also be meningeal worm. If you have deer, then it is a possibility. Snails ingest it and then travel into your pastures. I'm...

My last 3 kids disbudding didn't take. I had to disbud them again. The vet even did it the first time. Next year I'm definitely doing it myself. Save some money that way. I can do it as poorly as the vet did it and for free. I think right now is a slow period for selling goats. I have one kid...

I thought you disbudded your kids. Having horns may be a problem too since dairy goats can't have horns to be shown, even in 4H.

Congratulations on getting the chickens done. I have 1 meat chicken and 7 Golden Buff roosters. It was a duplicate order that was sitting around when I came into work one day and everyone convinced me to take them home so they wouldn't just slowly die. I think a meat chick hopped into the Golden...

When we list stuff on Craigslist, my DH is the one that handles it for just that reason. We don't allow anyone to come over if he isn't home and I just stay away.

I saw it on the news last night but they never said which hatchery. I figured it couldn't be Meyer Hatchery because then I should be sick as a dog! I swear they are just looking for ways to stop people from being more self sufficient with scare tactics.

If you have lice, I would inject the cattle ivomec. I believe it is dosed at 1cc per 100 lbs if you inject. I know Roll Farm on BYH doesn't even do a withdrawal time with Ivomec but some others do 1 to 2 weeks.

I used to go to Woolfest every year. They offered some interesting classes. Now with living in Sullivan, it is just too far away to go anymore. Have fun at it!

What are you deworming with?

Friends of ours make mozzarella cheese with store bought milk. They just make it on occasion but enjoy it. i haven't tasted it so I don't know how it tastes.

How old are your appliances? Did you buy them at the same time? I'm with you, no clothes out on a clothes line. I don't have the time or patience for it. It would be desperate times for me to do it. We lost a TV with the last storm. It was the only one that was directly plugged into the wall...

Any of the state parks are nice. What about Chagrin Falls? How about Hocking Hills?

sounds like fun is had by all. Perfect menu for little ones.

Cleaning out goat pens.

Sounds like a pretty good day to me. I'll be cleaning out goat pens this weekend. We are FINALLY getting a few days in a row of sun. I haven't been able to clean out goat pens since February so the hay has really piled up on the floor. By the way, I'm thinking that you really do like your...

I would pay off your current house. We kept DH's old house and rented it out. We even had great tenants but it was such a hassle. We moved out to the country and were an hour away from the rental. Not good when repairs are needed or an emergency like the water heater dying happens. We were so...

It is already starting to cloud over here. I need to get my chores done before the rain comes. I'm looking forward to more than a day or two of sunshine so I can get my goat pens cleaned out.

We have had a couple of those types of stories here in Ohio in the last year. I just don't understand what is wrong with people. We are prepared to lock our animals up under lock and key if need be.

Nice jacket! Congratulations! :thumbsup
