Goats come in herds.
How 'bout some pygmy goats? 28863. arkymalarky - 9/3/2016 11:19:21 PM People do that around here, but my current line that I'm pursuing is getting the Colorado house ready to live in and being a snowbird like Robert. 28864. arkymalarky - 9/3/2016 11:20:41 PM Pygmies might not be able to do it, but big goats will climb on your vehicle. I would like to have some though, and learn how to make goat cheese and goat soap 28865. thoughtful - 9/4/2016 11:46:16 PM Can you let some of it go to whatever it goes to in AR? We have 11 acres, but the majority is wooded and we let to go natural. 28866. arkymalarky - 9/5/2016 1:17:38 AM We have over 100, but the three acres is our yard. It has a barn and shed and fruit trees, other various trees and shrubs, etc. The Rest was planted pines that just sold for Stan's mother in the nursing home. Right now that part is clear-cut and brush. We'll buy about seven or eight more Acres in the next year or so, but we won't do anything with it. It has a creek, and an old house place that no trees grow on that was lived in after about 1815 or so. 28867. arkymalarky - 9/5/2016 1:20:57 AM If we let too much go behind our house, ticks and mosquitoes just dominate in the yard as well. It's tall grass and brush and a lot of deer and rabbits,etc, which command our yard, but the taller the grass the more mosquiteos especially and also ticks just take over. I'm being eaten alive even as I voice to text just sitting on the porch. 28868. wabbit - 9/11/2016 1:38:25 PM Seventeen years, hard to believe. Happy Birthday Mote! 28869. arkymalarky - 9/11/2016 5:03:19 PM Wow how time flies. Still love seeing yall in here. 28870. Ms. No - 9/11/2016 5:50:31 PM Seventeen? The Mote can finally go to R-rated movies without a parent or guardian!
Love you guys! 28871. Ms. No - 9/11/2016 5:54:58 PM Arx,
I got a great book for Christmas called "One-Hour Cheese" a year and a half ago. I'm still excited about it, but I haven't actually made any cheese. I like to page through it and dream.
Three Christmases ago the family all gathered at a beach house in wine and cheese country and a few of us went and toured a goat farm. My uncle's husband wants a couple of goats, but they still live in the city in D.C. Once he retires they plan to move to where they can have a little land. I've volunteered to come house and goat-sit when they travel. 28872. arkymalarky - 9/11/2016 7:43:59 PM One of Stan's former principals has goats and they make goat soap. I don't know if they make goat cheese... 28873. arkymalarky - 9/11/2016 7:44:30 PM Their goat soap is wonderful 28874. judithathome - 9/11/2016 7:57:23 PM Hey...Happy Birthday to the Mote!

Congratulations to the Mose's (boy does that sound weird) and the whole family! 28878. arkymalarky - 11/11/2016 12:03:02 AM Thanks!! 28879. judithathome - 11/11/2016 12:16:11 AM Add us to the congratulatory crowd!
