This is a tad long... hope it hasn't been posted before.
A herder named Bud was overseeing his animals in a remote mountainous pasture in Nevada when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL...
@Beekissed. ah, come on now, not all goaties are nasty brutes. My goaties are sweet, loving, curious, intelligent, quiet, well mannered and a joy to watch. I don't have the regular size goat but rather Nigerian Dwarfs and even in full rut my bucks are polite gentlemen and occasionally whiffy...

All of our out buildings that have paint, as opposed to metal siding, match the house. That way we only have to have one paint can stored for those pesky touch ups. Even the goat cabanas match the house. Or maybe I just have a color obsessive/compulsive hubby :)
I raise large meat rabbits for my family's table and currently have eight rabbits, although the numbers go much higher during the fall to early summer time period when the rabbits are raising kits. I feed pellets but not exclusively. The does get 1/2 cup and the bucks get 2/3 cup of a 16%...

DH got bit on his ankle by a rattler, many many moons ago, and got the anti-venom. The cost was well over $1,000 per vial, and he had many vials. He was in the hospital for three days. A few...

@ Crazyfeathers, my one and...
This is my first year with cucumbers, and only because I got some free seeds. It is called Barese, an Italian heirloom that is really a melon that you use as a cucumber. Picked at around 6" and they are very thin skinned and very tasty. They are a little furry but that rubs off easily with a...
I've lurked occasionally in the past and post mostly on BackYardHerds under the same name animalmom.
I've heard of having a "green thumb," and the Good Lord knows my mother could plant a popsicle stick and get it to bloom. Me on the other hand not so much so I'm hoping to pick up some tips to...
