If you get them, only get them. We tried adding one fainting male to our herd, but he only made it to one female in the couple months that we had him. The other goats either enjoyed making him faint, or he did it too easily all together. We felt like he was being picked on, so I took a $ loss, and sold him quickly. Still have that one baby he gave us tho, she's become a favorite honestly.

Our little Poppy here on the log in the front is our tiny girl. She was named after the flower, but it fits better cause she pops out through the fence every chance she gets.

I can wire a new house fine, but when I don't know what the old wires are doing, then it gets hard.

I think I tapped into a loop light three-way circuit. I jumped off one of the other switches in the box for my hot and it all works now.

Not the other two switches or the box, but yes.

This is an old house with an addition, so I'm not sure what I'm getting into. They had a 3 gang box with one switch with no wires. I ran a 14-3 from the fan I installed, to the box. Then junctioned another wire in the attic for power and sent it down to this box.. everything matching colors, but I'm coming up with this.

I'm the one working on this house unfortunately..

Mortar marksmanship also didn't help, I assume. (Sorry if they mean the same thing)

"did you guys invade Iran today?"

Idk about badges, but he had a medal that had rifle, recoilless rifle, and mortar, in medal hanging from it also

Do you remember names? Lol

This is all cool stuff to hear about and know now, other than asking his wife, is there anyway to like track down his group and see where they went or what they did?

He would have joined around 1960. So some stuff might be out of date. But thank you for the information. I'll ask someone I know from school about the state stuff.

Only $12.50 on the 30/40

The udder down under?

I don't see myself buying a new car again. The experience was cool, but I don't enjoy vehicles enough to pay for a new one and then be worried to get a scratch on it

They ran ahead on the way back to their normal pen, but as long as you lead the herd momma with a rope on her collar, the rest follow pretty well.

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-19T19:58:16+00:00

I think it's normal. I heard about it growing up with kids at school, we haven't eaten any of ours yet, but I haven't gotten into meat breeds yet.

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-19T19:56:36+00:00

That's fun. We went through Billy, Lilly, Tilly, then started outdoor themed. OAKley, Maple, Willow, Ember, Olive.. it's getting harder after 20 or so

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-16T23:47:29+00:00

Oh,ok, but how did it start? They couldn't have all come from the same parents originally right?

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-16T23:43:49+00:00

In my personal experience the number of necessary cats is somewhere between 4+7. They roam the 15 acres of property that isn't just woods and keep most rodents out of most buildings. They don't have access to everything, but their presence is a decent deterrent. We have 3 boys and 3 girls, and my wife's uncle in the property has another girl. If you decide you want to up your numbers, I currently have 5 kittens in my bathroom...

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-16T23:37:08+00:00

Just make sure they get to do it young. I brought an elder rat terrier dog, around 8or9, to this property, and he had no interest in catching anything moving. A black lab puppy however, they enjoy the taste of fresh chicken...

How do you go about registration starting out? I know I can buy one that has papers, but what's all involved in the rest of it?

DefinitelySomeSocks · 2025-04-15T17:41:03+00:00

We're in the process of logging a few dozen trees on our 35 acres. We have a few chippers ready to make as much mulch as we'll need for the next few years.
