Handmade Goat Stand for Sale!

By
I just finished building another goat milking stand, and now it is for sale!
This one was particularly fun because I stained the wood a beautiful Provincial brown, and then varnished it, making for a stanchion that is very pretty (at least, to me!) as well as sturdy and functional.

Price:  $150



I really enjoy working with wood, though I don't do much of it, so this was a fun project.  This was my first time making this style stanchion, and I am pleased with how it turned out.
 Mabel wasn't too enthused about leaving the pasture and barn at milking time to come model the new stanchion for me.
But after a little encouragement from Cleone, she decided maybe it wasn't so bad after all.





I realized after I put her on the stanchion that I forgot to put a latch on it, so I added that today.  I used a small chain, so the stanchion width is adjustable.

I really like having this adjustable headlock width because the stanchion will now fit goats with fat or skinny necks, so it could actually be used for bucks or does.






If you are interested in buying this stanchion, or having me build you a custom one, please contact me via email ( chickenscrapsblog@gmail.com ), or call/ text:  352-745-3576

Marvelous Seeds- Natural Dewormer for Dogs and Others

By
Naturally de-worming animals can be challenging, and some people will say that you are just better off going with the chemicals.  There are several problems with chemical wormers however.  You see, a chemical wormer is actually a poison, which is fed to the animal in large enough doses to kill, or expel the worms, but in small enough amounts that it hopefully will not injure the animal.  Trouble is, worms have an ability to build up resistance to the chemical poisons used in these wormers.  For example:  A few years ago, when I first started with dairy goats, I had major trouble with worms.  In fact, I lost quite a few goats to them.  I tried using the chemical wormers- SafeGuard (at 4 times the dosage for horses, for 3 days straight), and Ivermectin.  The goats' hair remained curly (a sign of a heavy worm load), and their gums and eyelids were pale.  Finally, most of them died- including three beautiful purebred, registrable Nubians.  I...

Puppies For Sale!

By
Looking for a good family dog?  Need one who will be friendly with your animals?  We are offering Inez's puppies for sale/adoption to good homes.  As stated in other places on this blog, the sire is a beautiful, purebred Chocolate lab who lives near us.      Inez is a full-blooded Great Pyrenees.  We used to lose chickens to the many predators which live all around us (foxes, raccoons, opossums, hawks, and coyotes, etc.)  But since we got her, we have lost hardly any poultry at all.  In fact, we no longer even need to shut or lock the coop door at night.  (Note:  We do not guarantee that the puppies will be as good at protecting as she is- simply that they come from a dog who is excellent at it.)  She is also super sweet to people and our farm animals.  She is gentle, and enjoys being petted, and although she is slightly reserved with strangers, she has never been at all aggressive.  Little children l...
