Welcomw Katie! I took a look at your blog, and personally, I think your turkey picture is a hoot, it SHOULD have won first place. Is your name a combination of Texas Aggie and Maryland Terrapin?

Close! It's Aggie because I was an Ag Major at UM (which also give the Terp part) and Katie because, well, it's my name!chipmunk said:Welcomw Katie!

Thanks!Beekissed said:Man, can you pack an acre!!!! I thought I had too many on mine....I'll have to rethink that now.
Yes, I have to be careful to keep the pasture in good shape. I have a sacrifice area that I can put the sheep and goats on if there's no pasture, and I had to do that during the drought we had earlier in the summer. Then I rotate pretty frequently. I also use temporary fencing to make little paddocks in the yard (outside the main pasture) to graze if their pasture is getting low. Right now my boys (buck and ram) are in their bachelor pen, which is fairly small, but there's bermuda grass in it so it can handle a lot of pressure. It helps that the goat isn't a hard core grazer, which is why I feed hay for her, and the sheep sometimes also eat a little hay.
