Alright I'm not allowed to post here because I don't have any livestock, but I want to someday so does that count?  I want to start off with a couple goats and some chickens, then go from there.

By the way, can we get some pics here please!  ;D
48 posts and not one picture, I'm disappointed in you guys  :D

Nicky has 40 Buff Orphington chicks coming out of the incubator tomorrow :(

In the paddock there is 25 cows, Murray Greys and Angus with a Santa Gertrudis Bull, 14 yearling steers, 500 Boer Goats and a couple of Maremma Guard dogs.

We have 250 does 3 weeks into kidding and the cold wet weather is playing havoc with them, the twinning does suffering Preg Toxemia and a lot of miss mothering going on. Last night was our worst night yet with a sheep graziers alert issued, wind gusts to 110 km/hr on the back of 65 mm of cold rain. This year fortunately the girls are in a 100 acre paddock that has really good shelter trees.

We have about 20 chickens. Two roosters. They are mixed variety, they all came from the eggs of our last generation of chickens. We get a dozen a day on good days.

Are those both goats, Piston? The one on the right looks like a sheep. The one on the left definitely has a goat tail, and no head. I've seen a lot of strange goats, but never a live one with no head.

Actually I have no idea.  I took that pic at my favorite dairy farm.  I was just posting it to add a little color to this thread.

Here is one of my absolute favorite goat pictures I've taken, I laugh every time I look at it:  :D

Also , today I found out that goats can swim.  ;)   One of the kids fell into the pool and made it to the steps and got out .

On the last "training sesion" with "Turd" the pack goat we took on river crossings. The first attempt looked more like and old miner with a stuborn mule (both of their butts just off the ground) But the goat was no match for his trainer and he was soon enjoying swimming in the river with the kids. At one point the six legged goat was crossing the river when he dunked his rider face first in the water :D
This goat is a good swimmer and seems to enjoy the water.

Well...right now we're at 8 Clydesdales on the ground, 1 Percheron, 3 quarter horses, and about 50 pair of black Angus cows, 23 black Angus heifers and 2 bulls.  I say "8 Clydesdales on the ground" because we have a baby or 2 on the way at this time.

You have some beautiful horses John, my daughter, nieces, and nephew had their first horse show a few weeks ago in a neighboring town.  We pulled in with our old 20' stock trailer full of $500 horses and I looked at my wife and said what the heck are we doing here (she used to be the 4H leader), she said it's good experience for the kids and their horses, all I said back was the first time I see any of you clipping fake hair onto our horses I quit  :D.  They have a hometown show today and we unloaded at 7, most of the trailers there were hauling cattle yesterday  ;D, I feel a little better about this one.

hardtailjohn

Hey, it's not the equipment, nor the paint...but how much fun you have!!  I feel the same way you do, Sandhills! Our trailer needs paint and so does the '94 Dodge that drags it along!   Best example I ever saw of that is when I got to go to the National Horse Show at Madison Square Gardens.... outside are all these awesome stainless steel, nice new rigs and trailers and such...by now I'm feeling pretty out of place...then I spy a '72 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 (that lime green they had then), and an old 2 horse Miley trailer (powder blue, of course) both accentuated with rust, with Wyoming plates..... my kind of rig! haha   I got to talk with the guy inside...his daughter was riding... we had a blast and decided that our Tony Lama's were probably the ONLY ones there that had actually stepped in cow crap! hahha
