I'm currently buying 5 acres (with a house in the middle) and I'd like to fence it for a couple horses and a cow, I plan to do t-posts and 5 strands of barbless wire and 1 strand of hot wire at the top, that way there's no barbs, but the hot wire keeps them from leaning, and if the hot wire gets...

So I've always loved taking pictures (I'm one of those people with 12,000 pictures on their phone) and I finally bought myself a camera, nothing too fancy, a Nikon D3400, and I'm totally inspired and addicted to taking pictures! But what does it take to be a "real" photographer? And what can I...

Well, I can't find my original "Horse Talk" post that was a million pages long, I'm not sure if it's just because I have no idea how to work this new site, or if it's gone forever, but I guess it's time to start a new one! So, @Bunnylady, @Kusanar, and everyone else who's usernames I just can't...

Photographers! I'm wanting to get into photography and I could use some suggestions for a "starter" camera... as in, I'd like to take better pictures than what I'm getting with my basic walmart camera, but I'm also not quite ready to spend $4,000 lol

I have a Jersey cross heifer who'll I'll be breeding next spring, but I'm curios about some things. I live alone and really don't use hardly any milk, and just an average amount of butter. I plan on freezing some milk and butter, and giving some to family, but if I milk her twice a day every...

Okay so I know I should post this on sufficient self but I can never get it to work right on my phone so I'm posting here. I have my own house but I spend more time at my parents and grandparents house (like ALOT more time) and I have my horses, cow and chickens at my grandparents and my dogs...

Okay so totally not chicken related, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this, or has any ideas what it may be, because I'm going crazy sitting around thinking about it. My doctor told me about 3 months ago that I have PCOS. She put me on birth control about 2 and...

Any collie experts out there? I'm wondering if the white spot on this pups head will disappear? I know it is not important in the big picture, but am just curious

So since I'm animal crazy, and no one else in my family is, I've decided to share all of my animals here. And to all you other animal fanatics, PLEASE post pictures of your pets and share your hopes and dreams. First is Roxy, she's my best friend, she's a 6 year old chihuahua, I picked her...

Technologically savvy people, I need your help. I'm going to be selling some stuff online but I'm severely technologically impared. I'm trying to find a safe, anonymous, way for people to pay where I can redeem it as cash (e.g. NO visa gift cards) The problem with PayPal is that it's not...

So can anyone here tell me roughly what I should price my camper at to sell? I don't know much about these types of things so bear with me. I can't remember what year it is, I'll look on the title sometime to double check, but I think it's a 95. I have the title but I never got around to...

Okay, everyone who knows anything about saddles! I've got these two saddles here and I don't have a clue what they're worth! First one is really old, I think 30's, and the little label says T.M. Lumly - Maker - Cushing Okla. that's the one I'm really curious about, I was told that it's a...

I might be getting my first goat on Sunday, a Nigerian dwarf goat, I've done some research on what kind of pen and shelter I need and I'll be putting that up this weekend, but beyond that, I have lots to learn. So tell me anything and everything that may come in handy! *lll be milking this goat

I have an 8 month old jersey cross heifer with little horns, they're obviously already attached to her skull, but they're still pretty tiny, she's a small cow in general, is it still safe to dehorn her? I would use a vet, but even so, what are the risks? If I'm going to risk losing her I'll just...

Today I was up in the very scary attic of the old farm house I'm moving into (been in my family for at least 4 generations), there's about a hundred years worth of junk on the house but I hadn't been in the attic yet. Well I found and old incubator! It looks like you must of had to use a gas...

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy a neckrope? I can't seem to find anyone in the U.S. that sells them. At least not very pretty ones. I love these ones but they don't ship to U.S.

Okay so I have a bareback saddle pad on my birthday list, becuase I like riding bareback but I'm not very balanced yet. Initially I wanted a pad that had a cinch, a handle, and removable stirrups, so that I could practice with the stirrups until my balance got better and then take them off and...

Im highly considering switching my dogs to a raw diet (If anyone here has done that feel free to tell me more about it) and I'm thinking, since I have adequate space and building for plenty of chickens, why not raise my own meat for them? Problem is I'm bad at math, so can anyone tell me how...
