I'm pretty sure most cities consider a goat a farm animal. I'm in the
middle of our town and the only thing not allowed right here is
cloven- hooved animals: goats, cows, llamas, etc. (Don't ask me why.
I have no idea.) I keep my horses right here next to the only
restaurant, the town hall, the USPS and the fire station. Horses are
allowed because they are still considered transportation here. (Yes, I
ride my horse to the post office.) You might want to look into mini
horses. They can slip under some regulations and they eat grass just
fine.

If you want to see mine, go to:

Yes, a goat is indeed a farm animal! With my nosey neighbors I could
never have a miniature horse. They are not permitted at all. You
need a full acre and I have just under.

I like your little Marshall and the draft boy, but is he old or just
full of mud in some of the photo's?

EEK! Full of mud?? Who? Where? No, no mud anywhere except for the
last photo of the draft horse where he's mud up to the knees. (Our
pasture is a swamp right now after this week's rain.) Both horses are
four years old.


I finally got the courage to watch The Horse Whisperer (I always
thought it ended badly) and it reminded me of when I"d ride my horse
bareback. There really isn't a way to describe how a two thousand
pound animal feels beneath your tushie.


You had a draft, too?! You must have had a Shire. D'argo is topping out
at around 1600-1700# but he's a Belgiun/Shire cross and isn't going to
get that full Shire size.


And just to bring it back on topic: Exactly how long does manure have to
be composted before it's used?
