In our climate vinyl can get pretty brittle due to extreme cold. We have been extremely happy with ElectroBraid rope on standard t-posts. It was easy to install, and the ElectroBraid is of very...

Thanks so much for all of the input. We have started him on a good joint supplement. The click sound happens as soon as his "ankle" joint starts to bring the hoof forward. It is definitely not...

I am wondering if this situation rings any alarms with any of you experienced horse people.

We have a three-year-old registered QH gelding. When we bought him (for very cheap), the breeder...

I hope that some of you experienced chicken people can help me. I have 35 meat birds that are ready for the butcher. Unfortunately, the people I usually have do this for me are booked solid for the...

I've got a really nice plant holder on the wall in my bathroom. There is one window, but it's on the north wall. The planter is about a foot below the window. Any suggestions for houseplants that...

We got a nice digital camera for Christmas, and I'm slowly figuring it out. I'm kind of old-fashioned, though, and prefer the old Canon AE-1 SLR. I'm hoping someone can help me out with night sky...

We have an Australian Cattle Dog, (Blue Heeler), and she is the best worker and greatest friend we could ask for. She's tough, smart, loyal, and loving. She always knows what's going on around our...

Yes, you're so right about training. I felt bad that I neglected to mention that in my first post. My point was that they have very strong instincts about cattle. I can only imagine what an...

In my opinion, you're missing out on a lot of fun with horses, but if you don't want them, you shouldn't have them. Another idea: Get yourself a Blue Heeler. Also called Australian Cattle Dogs. ...

Cowboydoc, I so appreciate your insights! I will be certain to check if she turns them out with blankets on, or not. Maybe she gets them dry first, I'm not sure. And yes, they are just being...

Thanks for the answers, guys! Now I'll take it one step further with the same question, In January our horses are going to spend one month with the trainer. She uses blankets so that she can turn...

Once again, I need a little advice from some more experienced horse people. We think we need to buy winter blankets for our two horses. We're in Northern Minnesota, so it's gets pretty cold and...

While all you chicken folks are handy, here's stupid question #38. I have six chickens, and let them free range in the big dangerous world during the day. So far this week, I've had three different...

I need saddle advice from some of you experienced folks. My saddle is brand new, full rough out. Is there anything I can do to condition the leather? I don't know why I went full rough out, just...

As you can see by my name, I'm kind of new at this. Will try to attach that recipe again.

Congratulations on your dream coming true. The same recently happened for me. My husband and I bought two three-year-old quarter horses. I'm 45, and have been waiting over 30 years to have my own...

Hi, Hillbillycowgirl. I am also learning about Miniature Herefords. We have an excellent breeder in our area, and I know she'd be willing to answer all of your questions. This is an excellent...

Thanks, Mark. Some good food for thought there. We have a pretty decent elevation change where they'll be coming into and out of the barn. I didn't realize you can use those stall matts outdoors. ...

We are going to be converting part of our 30x48 pole barn for our two three-year old quarter horses. We plan for this to serve as optional shelter with the door open most of the time, so they can...

Well, I'm from the country too, I guess, because I really got a kick out of your photo. Having chickens is such a hoot!

Hey, folks! We are planning to build a three-sided run in shelter for our two horses. Has anyone out there built one that they're really happy with? Would love design advice - size, roof type,...

Hey, folks, I'm back for more expert opinions! Our two new horses, 3-year-old geldings, came home four days ago. These are the only horses here, and they were born and raised together. Where we...

Hey, there! We are getting two horses - 3-year-old quarter horse geldings. As far as I know, they have been living in the pasture up to this point. I'm wondering if we need to have stalls in a...

We need some expert opinions! We have lived in the country for 4 years. We have 60 acres in Northern Minnesota. So far, our only livestock is chickens - 3 laying hens and 5 banties. This spring...
