Howdy from Southern Maine and :welcome I have black australorp chickens, goats, 2 dogs, and a garden that one year will actually grow something except bush beans. bob

Awesome looking plant. I've been wanting to plant it this year. How do you separate the seed from the hull? I'll have to order buckwheat seed from Johnny's Seed's. Here's a pretty good article on Mother Earth News about growing Buckwheat...

It's great with dried prunes or apricots. We called the buckwheat groats Kasha. bob

Being from a Polish family I grew up with buckwheat groats as a breakfast cereal. My mother would prepare it like you do oatmeal and as my breakfast I would just add sugar and milk. It's a strong taste but I really enjoyed it. Buckwheat groats was also used in sausage making, stews and in...

I think what I was getting at was a property management agency that would rent the house during the seasons, take care of the property and your father would be sent his portion of the rent. or Would he consider doing a rent to own for you. bob

Has your Father considered having a rental agency take care of the property and rent it out during the season's? Might be something to think about and not lose a piece of family property. bob

It kinda looks like he's just trying to sell off another goat that he does not want. I could understand if you don't have other goats since goats are herd animals and get lonely. Maybe explaining to him that you do not want the other goat and that you others that this doe will be part of...

First question is, do you have other goats?

Hi-Ya, I'm bob from Southern Maine

Ain't that the truth. But try to feed them food in a clean dish and/or watch the look they give you if their water is a little soiled vs the stubborn resolve in eating that twig or leaf they find in a pile of dirty poo. I like that feed recipe that was listed earlier here on this thread...

Right, I am not intentionally going to feed the goats. More concerned if they get ahold of the plant that they won't keel over where you see little x-ed out eyes on them like in the cartoons. So far mine won't touch acorns but will constantly try to munch on a very old Japanese yew that no...
