Hi there. (SunnyD has a farm thread)

[SunnyD]

Not a callout thread... since @DrPizza isn't around anymore, I figured I'd take up the mantle of goat keeper.

Say hi to Wilbur.

welcome back!

After 2020 I stopped counting. And I never left.

We need more pictures and a backstory.

What? One goat isn't good enough for you? Fine. Say hi to Jasmine.

Hi Wilbur!

Hi Jasmine!



And you DO look vaguely familiar !

 

[highland145]

Did you bring enough breakfast for everyone?

 

[SunnyD]

Did you bring enough breakfast for everyone?

Breakfast you say? How about fresh butt nuggets?



And since y'all seem rather unimpressed so far, say hi to Opal too.

 

[shortylickens]

HELLO MOTHER FUCKER!!!

 

[highland145]

Impressive. Hybrid chicken goats.

You think you could teach shorty to lay eggs?

No need... just look at shorty's post history. (I kid!)

HELLO MOTHER FUCKER!!!

That's Mother Clucker to you! This is Angel by the way.



And Belle. Before she got fat...

He left here, went crazy, married the chicken and thinks the goats are his kids

Talk about diversity, eh?

Nah. If anyone ever asks, chickens are the gateway drug to farming.

And a svelt Ruby, who is also now fat. She rocks an awesome beard though.

maybe chickens are the trick

i had to help take care of cows for years as a kid

and they mostly made me want to not have to scrape alleyways of 2 inch deep liquid poop every night

Hey SunnyD, that computer still working?

Goats are supposed to lay eggs, brah.

The question is what you do with the poop that matters. It's gold, Jerry. GOLD!

Cow? Cow. Yes, cow. This is my Maya moo.

Hey SunnyD, that computer still working?

Which computer? I have like... I lost count. All of them. :beer:

Ironically these days I wish I had none of them. Getting old is funny that way.

whoa, i have seen many breeds, but don't think i've ever seen that one!

either that or she's just really hairy

 

[ponyo]

damn, you have cow, goats, and chickens. So you must live out in the boonies. What kind of farming do you do?

 

[VirtualLarry]

I have a FARM TOO. A GPU FARM. I "grow" ETH and BTC.

Welcome back, SunnyD!!!

Thanks for the great pics!

Mini Highdex. Scottish Highland / Dexter cross. So yeah, she's part hairy coo.

Farming is a misnomer. More of a backyard homesteading. 11 acres isn't terribly much for a farm. And I'm only 35 minutes from a major city, and a little under 2 hours from an even bigger city. So boonies... well yeah.

You seem impressed. So I'll see your cow, goats and chickens and raise you some ducks!

Animal husbandry is considered a type of agriculture(farming)just not in the traditional sense that most people think of. Your post is actually interesting and kind of highlights the disconnect most people have when it comes to ag and the entire scope it entails.

Anyway, nice livestock waffle guy. They look healthy and well taken care of.

You should fund my farming exploits with that fake money of yours.

I've been tempted to start a gofundme for this little hobby of mine so I could quit my day job. Unfortunately I don't think people are quite ready for crowdsourced farming.

 

[herm0016]

nice little homestead.

we are only 1 acre, just chickens and dogs, greenhouse, 3ksqft garden, adding meat rabbits and more chickens this spring. wife wants a goat though.

Much respect. I'm all for people enjoying their hobbies and growing livestock.
