I dislike a pooped on goat too :( I want to pet my girls and don't apreciate a glove of roo poo. Is there any way that you could close off the chicken /rabbit area at night? Then they'd get used to using their shed.

The goats are getting ready to kid...the hens are getting broody...the horses are shedding something fierce....and the sun is shining today. Could it be?...spring? Oh wait. there's more snow in the forecast:)

This would be my dream home too...if there were no mortgage :) I love it here even though we measure snow in feet. As far as selling soap...there are no labeling requirements as long as you don't claim that it does anything other than clean. Liability insurance and sales tax id are...

When I was little my grandpa told me that if I wanted to go fishing I had to clean whatever I caught. He taught us to clean a bullhead when we were 4 or 5. He helped with the knife at first... I skin or filet everything...why mess with scales :P That's like plucking a wild turkey...not me! Cindy
