Goats for the farm

We have been busy fencing in a section for some goats.

I think we should be ready by mid-spring. Anyone have a favorite breed?

boer goats are the best for clean out brush and young saplings.

Hi Chuck (Chuckles) :lol: & Carol,

We are really wanting at least two on the kids. Just have to get everything ready in the meantime.

Clyde is the 'Stoner'? Best I recollect.

I have to be at work all Saturday for the cable changeout... maybe soon can get up there and check 'em out. ** Will bring the digital camera and get some pictures for you.

Later,

Frank

We haven't had time for the August update on the site yet http://www.cw-fc.com/fandcfarm/monthlyupdate.htm.

But we finally lost a critter this last Thursday. We had bought two 4 month old wether Lamancha/Alpine brothers. They were very wormy. Named Bryen and Stewie. Bryen finally gave up Thursday afternoon. Believe me, we did everything humanly possible - as per our vet. he was just too far gone it seems. Stewie is doing great!
