Well, we are constantly against a brick wall, because we are broke. I want to start the goat farm, with the eventual goal of being able to hire people with disabilities, and to produce our own products locally from the milk....

Goatlady True, its what keeps me going. Trying to teach family things about working. Otherwise it would be in front of the tv constantly. I went to the rented farm this morning and our valuable breeding male was down, he got stuck on the slats, and must have been there...

Im sick of getting SPAM, yes a lot of it goes into the SPAM folder on my email, or junk mail, but quite a bit slips through, and then - some mail from email groups that I did sign up for ends up in the Junk mail box. I wish...

Goatlady Lol - it sounds perfect, the charity would be me for now, to get a proper farm, till I got the farm up and running. (my goal is to help people with disabilities by having them work with the animals, and produce food and other products to sell. But something...

With the price of oil, petrol, diesel going up and sky rocketing, its probably putting the cost of bringing our children to school out of control. Especially when there is no bus service, and a school is not walking distance....

Goatlady It is sad isn't it, in this modern age the way that not enough communities will get together and help each other out. But I suppose the other end of the stick is how many people will admit when they need help and allow the help? Too many people are afraid.

Goatlady That could depend - on circumstances. This is where, say in my case, the town is close 4 miles-5 miles on a main road, Yeah a horse would slow down some traffic - but it would be safer than riding a bike on the same road. I also believe there is research being...

Goatlady I've been looking at mini carts for my goats, as we have two - not at the same time we use, but of course it would be too much for them other than at shows, parades. Thats when I started thinking about it - lot of those multi seaters - surreys? Do the school...

Ok - Im on my 2nd set of antibiotics, being Augmentin Duo 500/125. The first was clonamox 500 mg. That didnt work. I am feeling a little better, but have my doubts whether this will clear the whole thing or not - its been 3 weeks....

Goatlady I got a 7 day dose, so about 2 days left. I think the dose is too small though. On my research it said that 500/125 should be 3x daily instead of twice. thats the 750/125 dose thats 2x daily. I've had incidents of such heavy coughing that I would upchuck...

Goatlady thats great - fingers crossed for you. Unfortunately, ireland is not ready for the meat goats. The few major dairy herds cull the male kids at birth. I think its an awful waste. We have two hemaprodites, - I got a harness and cart and they pull it. Though, one...

Goatlady I know, but don't you wish - people would take on the initiative after seeing things done so much and do it, without being told how to! Thing is - some things like the housework - can go so far, then they run out of dishes, and they are under penalty of a good...

Goatlady Never actually knew that, but - by leaving a space between the c and the oon, Ive figured out how to use the word. Never thought it was considered offensive.

One of my cats makes a quacking noise sometimes, and another one has a meow that sounds more like a bird's chirp. It's funny and weirdly adorable to me that they make such odd noises. I think it shows animals can be just as quirky...
