Hello From Burrow's Acres
Thanks so much for your greeting. I hope you locate a property. When my husband and I found this place we knew we had to get it. I havent looked back since. I am a big believer in sustainability and one way to do it is to convince healthcare facilities to think local and think fresh. THey have the biggest buying power and can really make a dent in creating a sustainable planet.Come visit me, Burrow's acres.

Thanks for visiting my soon to be farm. I've looked into building a small aquaponics system using 55 gal plastic drums cut length wise as grow beds that drain into a full 55 gal drum that would hold goldfish and would hold a small submergible pump that would pump up to a drum that would cycle back to the grow beds using a toilet flush valve. I've got part of it built, just need to find the time to finish which this past year has been hard to do.
Any way good luck on finding your place.Come visit me, B-K Homestead.

PIGS IN COLD WEATHER
Thanks for the comment on my page. We have snow on the ground for 6 months of the year here and temps get down to minus 45 celsius (-49 F). Although our guys come into the barn at night, other farmers around here leave theirs out all year round. A simple lean-to shelter with plenty of straw for them to burrow into is all they need and they are perfectly comfortable outside.

Thanks for visiting my farm.
Sounds like you and me are in the same stage of mind. Nothing better than working in the fields or barn with your children right next to you.
We started with the nubians, they are pretty easy to handle,but we spend time with them every day. We got t nj em when the were weaned so we started when they were young. The dorpers we got later. They were already grown. We had to spend a lot of time in the pens with them to get them used to us.
As for starting out, the dairy breeds are more active and nimble, but my 5 year old son has no problems with them. The buck is a good boy but can get a little rambucntious when in rut.
The dorpers are a little less high strung and are the responsibility of my 9 and 11 year olds. They have no problems leading them on lead ropes.
I would say to start with the nubians at a young age or find some that have been handled a lot. They are a good breed for crossing with a meat breed also. They make great mothers and produce enough milk to raise 2-3 kids at a time, in my experience.
Keep me posted as to what you decide.
P.S. Stories guide to raising goats is a good read for anyone considering raising any goat breed.Come visit me, 7S Ranch.

Thanks for visiting Zephyr Hill Farm
Hi from back East! My husband's family are ranchers in far West Texas in the Alpine, Ft. Davis area, so I know some of the challenges you face trying to get started in semi-desert country. It is so beautiful, though, it just tugs at your heart strings. I wish you luck in finding the perfect place. We weren't even looking to move to the country when I stumbled on our place--and two months later we were here! It's grown a bit at a time.
I love Large Black Hogs, met them at Nature's Harmony Farm. There are no breeders in our area, but we did get two Berkshire cross gilts this past spring and fed them out. My husband was reluctant to get pigs until he met LB's at NHF. Now he's a believer!Come visit me, Zephyr Hill Farm.

Thank you for visiting our farm!! Ohh Black hogs, we are looking into raising these this year and possibly breeding! We shall see.
Man these Scottish Highlands are so beautiful and majestic. The 2 in my photo are Laverne and Shirley. Our bull is Big Jim. We will be putting him with the girls later this year to start the breeding process....our first time at this. We previously raised a black angus - Duece, my baby and some herfords, but now are going to stick with the Highlands. I could just sit with them all day.
I wish you the best of luck, you have some scenery there - man it's breathtaking.Come visit me, Crazy Acres.

Thanks for visiting our alpaca farm.
We searched for about ten years to find our perfect place. I hope it doesn't take you anywhere near that long because once you get there you will not regret it, I'm sure. Other than having children, this is the best decision we ever made.
Keep searching and keep praying and it will happen.
God Bless.
P.S. I have also been interested in aquaponics. I'm just getting information now but I hope to try it soon.
If you find any good websites or anything let me know.Come visit me, Purdy lil' Suri Alpaca Farm.

@Freisen Family Farm
Thanks for the post.
Fodder systems are a bit of an upfront investment, but it increases your feed 8x-10x. 1 pound of feed turns into 8 pounds of feed in 5-7 days using just plain water! It is more easily digestible and the animals benefit by being able to absorb the nutrients and calories out of the food. The one at farmtek dot com is the most economical, but if you search youtube, you'll see quite a few videos from around the world on large farms using the system to feed their stock. Very cool concept that I will definitely use when the time comes.Come visit me, K&B Ranch.

Thank You!
Thank you for visiting our farm page.
I really can not tell you much on the Large Black, as we have just started with them.
I did do a lot of research, and we decided to go with them and the Tamworth breed. We will be cross breeding and will be acquiring more pure LB stock next spring.
Our goal was/is to have pasture hogs that are easy care, docile and good natured. We shall see how it goes.
I will keep updating the farm page with new pictures and posts on the progress.
Good luck with your endeavor!
Blessings~Come visit me, Niemeyer Ranch.

Planting, Maintaining and Harvesting Grain
Looking down the road, I'm really interested in using a fodder system, like Fodder-Pro, to feed my livestock. I'd ultimately like to become totally self sufficient in growing my own grains for seed, to use in my fodder system.
I have been net surfing, trying to find some small scale equipment to plant, but mainly harvest grain on a smaller scale, say 3 acres.
Anyone know of a smaller scale piece of equipment that might harvest and thresh the grains, on the scale that I'm looking at? Thanks!Come visit me, K&B Ranch.
