[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 358204, member: 6007"] Finally - there are others that I have written - concerning handling facilities and such. Most people get it wrong - we did once as well. Do not get the animals until you have good fences, at least one SOLID pen - with 6 foot or better high walls - that will hold all of your animals. Put their water in this pen - that way they will come up every day - easy to catch. Have a way to restrain the ainmal - sooner or later you will have to do this - this means a chute and a squeeze or head gate - or a home made system - they all work and they all are good. But have this in place before the animals arrive - otherwise I guarandamntee you that you will need it soon after the animals arrive. Murphy always strikes when you are least prepared. Do your home work and do it well. Do not buy minis and expect to sell at a sale barn. Do not buy some African abortion and plan to sell to commercial guys. Do not buy black and try to sell into a red market. You get my drift. Others can add as they see fit - there is a ton of other info but at least you now have a start. Have fun. Bez> [/QUOTE]
