My daughter and I just visited our local 4H fair and pet quite a few! We live in an apartment at the moment but hope to have a homestead one day.

Not all of them, but there's no predicting! Good fencing is a must.<br /><br />Fern, I appreciate that. I hope the information is helpful. It's an ongoing process, and I still buy grain and alfalfa pellets from the feed store.<br /><br />My corn is doing great for now, but we've had 3.5 inches of rain in the past three days with more on the way. I'm not sure how much rain it can take!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-54382637633627850692013-07-05T22:20:55.156-04:002013-07-05T22:20:55.156-04:00Leigh,

We have wanted to get away from commercial feed for some time but have not made that switch yet.<br />Hope your corn is growing well.<br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-57637502675153507792013-07-04T06:30:16.637-04:002013-07-04T06:30:16.637-04:00Lots of lovely info, thanks Leigh.
I've asked...Lots of lovely info, thanks Leigh.<br /><br />I've asked RMan if he wouodn't like a couple of goats, just for their milk, but he says that he feels they're too destructive - and would strip our smallish piece of land bare in no time.<br /><br />Sadly, he's adamant, so it looks like I wont be having goats in my future, even though their milk kept me alive as a baby when it was discovered that I was allergic to cows milk.<br /><br />Thanks - you provided a whole plethora of info, not only on your guest posting, but also in you post above :)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-56056532955206068212013-07-04T06:04:34.177-04:002013-07-04T06:04:34.177-04:00Willow, thanks!

Seems like almost everything with goats is trial and error! I'm thinking, though, that it's you who should have been blogging when you had goats, so the rest of us could have been learning right along with you. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-41993557371131443502013-07-04T03:30:13.727-04:002013-07-04T03:30:13.727-04:00What a great post about goats.

There is certainly a lot to learn about goatkeeping - I only wish I had a good blog like yours to read in those days - it would have been so helpful - instead I had to learn everything by trial and error.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-55980115727566668732013-07-04T01:44:54.289-04:002013-07-04T01:44:54.289-04:00Nice work as usual Leigh.

I can always learn from the way someone else does things, especially if their choices are different than mine. We raise Nubians and right now I am swimming in milk, so we have cut down to milking only once a day. Great article, well put together, easy to understand and humble. Great attributes.
