James Tinker posted a discussionWorms, disease and flooding
Part of the land I have for the goats that I want floods. Usually when it floods, from the river, it holds 1-2 foot of water for a week or two. Will this help clear the the ground or make it worse. Any thoughts? This will be the first time that the ground will have ever had livestock on it. Goats and Chickens. It is also next to farm land, mostly rice but some soybeans.See More

Our first kids of the year were born 1/13. We won't have more until May (that's a long story), but these are being bottle raised so I have my hands full anyway!

Julieanne Cook posted a discussionMilking stools
It's getting to be about time that I think about purchasing milking equipment. I think I've found what I need for buckets, strip cup, etc., but I'm not at all sure what would be the best milking stool to have. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? It might be helpful to add that I'm a pretty short person, just 5 feet. See More
Ellen Peavey replied to Ellen Peavey's discussion Feeding the goats" Hi Glenna: That is a good idea about the 50 gallon PVC barrel as long as it isn't a permanent structure it can be in the pasture. I will call the gas company and…"
