Why read up?
We come across a lot of useful info in our day to day reading, and there's plenty I want to publish on the web - that fits with fainting goat fanciers, but had no idea where to put it on our site! Thought we'd share here.

On our farmstead, we have a few other creatures we love and that help us by clearing, providing nutrition and exercise. Our Tennessee Walking Horses include Black Watch, a botulism survivor with impressive WGC bloodlines (also written about in Creature Comforts). We also use Tamworth hogs to till our overgrown pastures.
