Do most colleges recognize home schooling degrees? Would/Is a homeschooling child competitive for scholarships (is that even possible? I'm sure there are different ones). I don't have a lot of experience with homeschooling. However the two people that I do know that went through it had to get...

Hi all! Just had a question for the future. I'm new to the raw milk thing. But we've been drinking it since we got the goats early this spring. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about raw milk and pregnancy? Eventually we'll be starting a family and I had talked to several people who...

I'm sure these commercials are regional. But the outline of the commercial was a young girl (8th grade or so) getting onto the bus for the first day of school. It shows her mother watching her from the house. You then hear a comforting female voice say something along the lines of "She wanted...

I searched through some old threads on this topic and most were at least a year old. Although there was a recent one. I did learn that I need one that is specifically for goats or has a goat setting. But I was just wondering if anyone here actually has one (for goats)? Or knew of a good brand or...

I had HGTV on this morning while I was freezing corn and they happened to profile a family moving from Australia to New Zealand. I can't remember the name of the town but everyone there was responsible for provding their own water system (ie either a rain bin or well of sorts) and their own...

We inevitably always have goat milk that doesn't get used in time and have just been giving it to the chickens. And honestly, some days it has been so hot outside that it curdles while in the container. They seem to love it even more then. Is it ok that they're drinking that? None of them has...

Or does it seem like there is ALWAYS something going on? I feel like we get one problem cleared up and then there's another right behind it! Is it there curious nature that causes them to get into trouble? Or is it the fact that we're new to this and are probably making mistakes and learning...

We got some heritage breeds to use for meat birds and needless to say, its taking them FOREVER to get to a good butcher weight. And then I read about people processing their creepy meats in 6 weeks. So we're wanting to try a different breed next time to make this more $$ worth it for us...

I vaguely remember a thread on this awhile back (maybe)? But I couldn't find it. Dh and I are looking to really start stocking up our pantry. Just wondering where everyone bought their bulk foods? Online or a brick and mortar store, either or.

Both of our goats seem to be drying up. Over the last couple of weeks their amounts have fluctuated but tonight they both only did about half a quart. Normally do about 3 times that each at least. We started them on kopsel about the same time and both their conditions and coats seemed to...

How many square feet is your garden area? Ours will be 672 square feet of actual plantable space not counting the rows to walk in when its all said and done (raised beds that we're still expanding out). Granted we have some pots of various herbs on the porch too that we're gonna pull in during...

I was talking to a few people lately who purchased victorian strainers to make tomato juice, etc. Then I saw on here several people talking about victorio strainers. Is there a difference? Or is the same thing by a different name?

Ours just went up from $23 for a 50# bag to $28. Just wondering what everyone else is paying.

I borrowed a book from my dad a few months ago. It's called "Build It Better Yourself." GREAT BOOK! It has everything from goat stanchions to cold frames to smokers to greenhouses and fences. It literally has everything you could ever need to build to be more SS. And the best part is that there...

I just found a BUNCH of mint outside. I guess the previous owners started some of it out there. Anyone have any good recipes involving mint?

I was looking for alternatives for our hay mangers. The goats keep knocking them down and destroying them while managing to also waste lots of hay. I was searching through old threads and saw a couple people mention hay bags for horses. Just wondering if anyone used these for goats? Or think...

Just wondering what everyone did for animal bedding? (Sorry if this is a repost, I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. So if I missed something please feel free to re-direct me. :) ) We have both goats and chickens. We have been using straw but its obviously not absorbent...

I was just wondering if anyone had run across any good books, online courses or speakers that they liked regarding herbal uses? :) Thanks!

Both of our goats have developed small white pustules on their udders. They both just got over a few small cuts on their udders that happened after they busted through some wire and cute themselves on the way through. I'm thinking maybe a staph infection from the cuts? We keep the cuts cleaned...
