I've always used Power Service and have had good luck with it.

You can rent or buy a stump grinder.

Geese are raised for meat and/or eggs. We didn't raise them for either, we just liked having them around. They act as great watchdogs. They make quite a ruckus of someone they don't know shows up at the farm.

The chickens, guinea fowl and ducks all pretty much ignore each other. So do the geese, unless one of the others get in their way, which is rare. And even then, the geese just chase the others, they never hurt them.

We moved a few months ago. The great thing about pods is that you can take your time moving your stuff in them and then you have the company move them and you can take your time unloading them. It takes away the frantic-ness of moving. I'm not sure about the cost, but it worked for us.

I have raised chickens, ducks and guinea fowl together with no problems. Geese are very aggressive, and though we've had geese, I never raised them with chickens, ducks and guinea fowl.

Milking parlor for cows or goats or sheep? How large is the herd? How many do you want to milk at once?

They had to leave farming because they were losing tons of money.

I am still in contact with many of my farmer friends, though many have had to leave the farming business as I did. My wife and I are still doing homesteading, a huge garden, chickens for eggs, that sort of thing, but we no longer produce agricultural products for sale.

True, it's a 24/7 job. If you don't love it, don't even think about it.

I farm in upstate New York. We had a dairy goat farm, and also had an egg business, raised sheep for wool, produced hay and bred fiber rabbits. We also rescued horses and had 15 rescue horses. After I had 3 back operations, we no longer farm, but it was never our main job, both my wife and I...

Very true, and it ain't easy to do it in real life, that's for sure.

Hankook is a South Korean company and they make tires in South Korea, China and the USA.

Livestock do make good pets. Horse are great pets, but yes they get expensive. Goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas make great pets, too.

I do the same as Wildlife. Never saw the point of a battery operated grease gun, I can pump it. I have enough battery powered tools that need replacement batteries as it is.

Thanks for the responses. I did a lot of research and bought an 80 volt Kobalt from Lowes last weekend. I'll assemble it and try it this weekend.

I'd like to get a battery powered week whacker. Does anyone have any they would recommend or any that I should stay away from? Thanks!!!!

When we had our dairy goat farm we hired someone to design our logo and signs. We're not computer savy enough to do it ourselves.

I allow my chickens to free range. In the spring, summer and early fall, they don't even need feed, they eat bugs and ticks and help my farm pest free without pesticides. However, that exposes them to predators, of course. It's a trade off. Roosters typically don't do a very good job of...

I also name all of my animals and consider them all pets. But my wife and I quickly learned that what we heard was true with chickens, the ones with names are the first to get picked off. It doesn't happen with other animals, just chickens. When we had a dairy goat farm, we had 120 goats...
