:duc I'm so glad I'm finally getting a goat! :weee just got to get her bred and wait a few months for a baby! :weee:weee

:yuckyuck It must have been some of that stinky french cheese or something cause boy is smells in here... :gig j/k

:hugs I'm sorry about your loss... I too am having to thin my herd of buns and chickens... NO way I can afford to feed them all.... seems like every time I go to the feed store they have raised the price... People around here sell eggs for $1 per dozen... so I can't even sell some to supplement...

So are you saying even when the government announces a recession (which means in so many words that the economy is having a hard time) that they are wrong? I'm not comparing myself with third world countries... Yes price of food per income sucks! but the US is NOT a 3rd world country... I see...

:thumbsup yeah we have a lot of farmers around here that leave their fields empty and get a Gov't check! but I don't know of any that get paid to grow it... unless they sell it to customers... I don't know any farms where the gov't buys the crop... (Unless there is some fuel program where they...

not after I cooked it to death! LOL He was just as tender as store bought chicken that I make noodles out of... but honestly I'm used to rabbit that is naturally more stringy and a tad chewy compared to chicken so I might not be the best judge. Only thing I noticed was his meat was a tad...

Yeah I had thought about not wanting to bring it here on our farm... but I honestly just want the goats for us... Not many people raise dairy goats so doubt I would be able to sale the babies for much... Everyone has and wants boer goats... Plus I'm not ready to have a buck just yet... so If I...

I have only had one older rooster and he tasted just like chicken... :gig I cooked him in a crockpot for a day then deboned it and made noodles... he tasted great! I skinned him instead of plucking.

That's awesome! so far closest one I've found is the zanesville one... that's a 2 hour drive... the milk would be sour by the time I got it home... ROFL

Wow all that stuff requires some serious talent and time... I have neither... thank goodness my kiddos are home-schooled and have no clue these exist or they would pester me daily! hahaha

There is an ad on craigslist... it's in zanesville though... http://zanesville.craigslist.org/grd/2558235152.html

What's a bento box? :hide since I have never heard of them I'm assuming my children have never had one... ROFL

I'm far from an expert (obviously or I wouldn't be asking questions... LOL) but from my understanding it's a virus that can cause severe arthritis and such in goats... I know it's one of 2 major illnesses that they commonly check for in goats... so if looking for one it's good to know if they...

very cute! I think the one with the baby chick the kitty looks upset... Like "why are you teasing me with this tasty morsel then not let me eat it... Life is so not fair!" :lol:

awesome guys you are the best! thanks for the info!

Ok I have a few questions about CAE and I hope you guys will have some good answers for me... I know some people are terrified and 100% against goats with this virus... and most of the info I've found supports that thought of staying away from goats with this issue... But... I found an...

I got almost no sleep last night... the lightning was so bad it was like daylight and the thunder shook the whole house... it died down a bit then started back up this morning... at least the garden got water.... that is if it didn't blow away... as soon as the rain lets up I have to go up the...

don't forget that bodies vary as well... what works for some may not work for others... example... friend of mine went vegetarian... she felt great! something in the meats just made her feel sluggish and bloated? I tried a similar diet and got really sick... I need meat!!! I also tried a...

I sometimes use yogurt cheese mixed with berries and honey... yummmmmm but nothing can replace my butter... we go through a pound or 2 per week! As for buying the separators in bulk... I think you could make a killing reselling them to all us... that is if you find an awesome deal... LOL

I originally wanted goats because of the smaller size and they eat less... but without being able to collect a good bit of cream for butter and whipped cream... I think I'm just going to have to settle for a cow... (that is some day when we get a fence and barn...) I searched and searched for a...
