Adventures of my hobby farm

I'm in for the viewing !

We raise and sell about an acre of pumpkins, as well as a couple hundred meat chickens, some hogs, and apparently now (according to my wife, starting this year) Goats also LOL

Oh have fun with the goats!!. In my experience there is not much that's more difficult to fence in than goats. Worst part is that once they get out they insist on causing outright mischief. They destroyed my ping pong table in the barn and were using everyone's cars like slides. They'd jump up on the hood, run over the roof, and slide down the windshield on their knees. Really great for paint jobs and windshield wipers!!

Good luck!

I had 17 of the Pygmy goats a few years ago. You can watch them for hours!

Best way to test a fence is to put a goat behind it. They are escape artists.

I loved them and they were fun. But when I caught them playing "King of the Mountain" on the top of my brand new Dodge Ram Hemi, it was time for them to go.

LOL thanks for the advice... I'll pass that along to the wife

I know a friend who used pallets for fencing. Put t-post or like wise in the ground and put the pallets over them. When a pallet is junk replace it. Can find wood pallets for free from alot of places too or on craigslist for really cheap

I'll be following your progress, thanks for the post.

I am surprised that in your area of Georgia, you've made no mention of blueberries or blackberries... I'll just have to assume they are in the plans?

Got home from work this afternoon and got that blasted gang back under the harrow frame and completed a little more maintence on it then I decided to put out fertilizer and till the garden in anticipation of planting tomorrow.

Ended up getting interrupted by grandpa wanting some help up at his place that required a strong back so things ran a little later than I planed and ended up using the headlights for the first time ever.




Ended up on exactly 70 hrs this afternoon hard to photograph but you can just make it out.
