Brushing Up

I am really getting excited, because I know that it won't be much longer before my first goaties will be here.



I've been taking the time to sit and read through some of my goat books again. I've read all of them over and over many times. But each time I read them, I seem to learn something new. As things are beginning to change over from abstract concepts, many points actually mean something to me, and I am able to get some really great information that I can use.

I have gone from thinking that I absolutely had to have a pasture for the goats to being okay with feeding them hay and grain rations. I still will work to have a decent pasture - but I am going to stop stressing out over getting the pasture up and running immediately. I look at it as being a nice addition to the hay and grain rations. For now, I can work to improve my skills at pasture management and use our tiny pasture (a bit over an acre) as we are able.

This is one of the books that I am reading right now. It is a very informative and interesting book. I really recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about dairy goats.
