Just a note to say I love your site. I look forward to seeing your posts while I am working (or should be). It’s a nice break to see photos of your lovely animals and read about your farm. I took my grand niece to a petting zoo and they had goats and sheep and I thought your blog. My goal is to live on a small farm like I did as a kid. I miss the animals. My hubby calls me “Ellie Mae” and won’t let me bring any more pets home till we move to the shore in MD.
Thanks again for all your hard work on the site.!

Glad I can provide a nice break for you. Hopefully, it won’t be too long before I can be that petting zoo that kids get to come to and meet the animals. Thanks, Teresa

Thank you for your kind offer to take DC, I think it would be a good placement for her, but you live in Iowa and we are in Southern TN and I don’t travel very well anymore, and then there is the problem with my o2. I have a range of about 2 1/2 hrs or so each way. Sandra is going to put my post on her blog, maybe she knows someone that I don’t! One can only hope!
Have a great day now!

I really enjoy reading your blog. You share some great information about your goats and I love your pictures. We have Nigerian Dwarf Goats and some of your posts have helped me better understand our little goats. As of now we only have two but maybe we’ll grow our herd soon.
Keeping posting. I’ll check back with you soon.

Mar 09, 2011 @ 16:15:07
What a treat! I am glad you left me a note so I could follow it back to your blog. I love the little goats. We are shopping for some property so I can be the farm girl I want to be. Can’t wait.
Mar 09, 2011 @ 19:31:06
Glad you found me. It really is great living out in the country. I hope you have good luck finding your piece of land.

To my knowledge, WordPress doesn’t have a Follow button, but you can subscribe and get an e-mail notification of new posts. You can also send me a friend request on Facebook because my posts are linked there as well.
Apr 30, 2011 @ 16:27:18
Just a quick note to link you up to my blog. You can see pictures of the girls there and please know that you are MORE than welcome to stop in and see them anytime!

Can I use olive oil if I don,t have corn oil?
May 10, 2011 @ 03:10:03
Just found your blog and I adore all the information you have posted. I am in the planning process of a small farm and any advice would surely be apreciated….PLUS I adore new friends also.
Thanks,

The best advice I can give is don’t rush. Make sure you have a place and equipment for the animals before you get them. Same with plants. Have the ground ready to plant before you get them. I’m glad you stopped by and hope you find some useful information. I’ll always try to answer any questions you have.

You should try making Peach Salsa. Yummy. I made some a few years ago and it was the gift to fight over at our Christmas gift grab. I even have made peach/tomato salsa to help use up tomatoes.
Jul 29, 2011 @ 07:45:56
Never tried peach salsa. I did do tomato preserves last summer when I was swimming in tomatoes~my dad’s request!

I would like to know how you got the different category buttons at the top of your blog… I would like to do that with mine. Thanks.
Jan 03, 2012 @ 19:20:09
Love your blog! Especially tonight…we have geese…by accident. My question is this. We have a grey goose, with a bump on it’s head. Does that mean it’s a male?
Thanks!
Jan 03, 2012 @ 19:28:03
Certain breeds have the bumps~African and Chinese~whether they are male or female. A better indication of gender is their stance. The males are taller with a loner neck and more upright.

Would love to know how to get a pair of plyers and a supply of clips for entropian problems. We raise purebred Corriedales and I have had a couple of lambs come down with sore eyes this lambing.
Jan 14, 2012 @ 19:38:09
I have my vets put the clips on because I’m not comfortable doing it myself. Hoegger Supply Company used to have them, but I can’t find them on their site now. Another thing to remember is that there is likely a genetic link. Do you have a new buck that might be the source?

Hi Teresa
Very nice blog you have here.
Have you been able to solve the WordPress commenting difficulties? If so, how?
Apr 12, 2012 @ 06:22:13
In settings I changed it so people don’t have to leave an e-mail address. They can just leave that line blank.
Apr 14, 2012 @ 04:42:41
I’ve done that as well. Hope it helps. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for stopping by my little Blog farm world
I engoyed looking at your blog.. I am trying to convince the hubby and father-in law (we share the property with them) that we need some goats and chickens. I want to be more self sufficient and teach our boys there are more ways to live than running to the store for things. We do have 3 Geese, 3 ponds, a huge garden, a smal orchid with apple trees, peach trees, grapevines, blue berries, black berries, muscadines, and pear trees. We have been canning for the past 4 years and I love it! I love having food right there when we need it and knowing where it comes from. I also love having all those vines to make pretty wreath decorations with in the fall 
Apr 29, 2012 @ 09:45:29
I do love life on the farm, and I couldn’t imagine ever going back to living in town. Thanks for stopping by.

hi my goat is young and got into our males pen and well… is pregnant and due anytime.
she has had her mucus plug 2 days ago and if lossing it is there a problen when does she have a baby im worried! thanks.
May 15, 2012 @ 15:47:43
hi i am with goats but my goat hast never shown a sign of being in heat but she has started to swollen in the stomic and the udder im not shure if she is pregnate or not anny other tips to check if she is she is about 1year and 4 months old
May 15, 2012 @ 17:20:12
Sometimes they are not real obvious about being in heat when they are young. I assume she’s been with a buck. Sometimes you can see dirty sides when they’ve been bred. At this point, you can ask the vet to do an ultrasound. Otherwise, watch her udder, see if she is springing. Eventually you might be able to hear a heartbeat with a stethoscope. Keep a close eye on her.

Good Morning. Just wondering about your Peafowl, do they stay in your yard or do they roam every where, what do they eat? I’ve always wanted a peacock on my lil farm, think it would be cool to watch one or two walk around here. Do you ship & sell your eggs, if so how much? Thank ya
May 24, 2012 @ 10:34:03
I have mine penned. They were raised by me, so they had no fear of anything. When I let them out to free range one flew off and was later hit and killed on the road and one was immediately eaten by a raccoon. I have a 26 x 26 x 10 foot outdoor pen and their indoor space is about 15 x 30 with lots of rafter space to roost and planks to walk on. I’ve never sold my eggs, and I wouldn’t know how to mail them.

Hi Teresa, I love your blogs! And the goats are so adorable. I don’t know if I could sell them either….anyway I hopped to your poetry blog. I too write poetry and have been wanting to add to my blog. I also joined dVerse. It is amazing how much more my world has opened up since I started blogging. Thanks and I look forward to updates from ALL your blogs.

I have a large old goat who has broken his back leg the upper part wondering about a sling a what is the best way to to get him up and down we have a splint on it . any help would be great.
Mar 31, 2013 @ 13:27:23
I’m not sure. I’ve never had a goat with a broken leg. Your vet might have an idea on how to help him.
May 11, 2013 @ 19:27:53
I need goat advice! I bought a goat that was pregnant and i didnt know it!
