I won't say that I wouldn't try to come if we did it weekly but for me monthly would be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. I enjoyed it as well. Nice to meet everyone and hopefully remember names and faces with screen names. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe after doing more research today I am going to go with donkeys only. Probably just two of them because as Swim said they will have it eaten down pretty well. I think they'll also be easier to contain and honestly I just like them better than sheep or goats. I am going to have a time running water line back to my barn though. Wilson county has a few rocks in the ground.

:rofl:  Well you may be right. Mine isn't curled up on the sides if it matters and I didn't buy it on Broadway.  :pleased:

Well that's good news. I may take you up on coming to check them out after talking to my wife.

Thanks Willis. Yeah the wife is dead serious on getting them. She wants them because they are cute though.  :pleased: Would you say the donkeys alone would be good for brush clearing or do you mainly feed them hay? To be honest I haven't done much research on them in that aspect because I just assumed we would be getting sheep or goats. I'd rather have something that would be easier to fence in.

I am planning on getting a few mini donkeys and either goats or sheep for brush control on the back half of my property. I would guess I have about 1.5 acres that I will fence in for them so I don't think I will need many. I am thinking that sheep will be easier to care for and less prone to wander than goats but am looking for opinions from anyone who has or has had them in the past.   I have the square type cattle fencing on two sides of the area and barbed wire on the other. I will have to run fencing for the front boundry. Any tips on fencing, animal care or whatever is appreciated. There is also an older but sturdy barn that we will use for shelter that would easily hold 10-15 smaller animals. I won't be getting that many though. Probably two mini donkeys and the rest either sheep or goats.

I'll be there for sure. Probably gonna go a little earlier and grab a bite to eat. If I get there first I'll just let them know we may have a group coming. I'll be the guy in the cowboy hat.

I'm in for at least two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So who all plans on actually eating there? I can come a little early if anyone else is.

Sounds good to me.

Oddly enough my body is the exact opposite when I am startled while sleeping. I mean I won't claim to be 100% ready to go but I have been awakened by our dogs barking a few times since moving to our new house and generally pop right up. I have always been more concerned about that while I am just sitting in the living room. I try to wear my gun at all times.

I can't wait for my order! I have all of my reloading stuff ready to start except for the dang tumbler and scale haha. I made out like a bandit with them on their reloading sale though.

I believe I will be there. Any of you guys plan on being there earlier than 7? I work close and live in Lebanon so don't want to turn around and come back. May just eat supper there.

I used to feed Pro Plan but have been giving my three science diet for a few years now. They tolerate it well.   Edit: Just checked on their site and they say made in the USA with ingredients from North America, Europe, New Zealand and somewhere else. Good enough for me.

Yep. I ordered the day after Christmas and am still waiting. Kind of par for the course with them though. They get LOTS of orders at those prices and generally always sell out of whatever sale they are running.

So based on my owners manual I have decided to just do the following so I am not spending money I don't need to:   Plugs and wires were due at 100k and they probably didn't get done so I'll do that.   Coolant flush is 150k so I'm right on time for that.   Going to clean the throttle body as suggested since it's easy enough and free.   Brakes work fine so I think I may just leave them alone. Opinions? Would changing them help prevent wear on any of the other brake parts? Rotors don't look too bad through the rims.   Book doesn't mention anything for diffs and manual transfer case so not gonna touch it.   Haven't looked at brake fluid yet but everyone is telling me to not worry about it. Same with power steering fluid.

Totally classless.

I'm not sure if it has. I'm also not sure how to tell the condition of all of those but it drives and steers great. I did lube all of the grease points on those and the boots were fine. Not cracked or anything and no grease leaking.

Thanks for the info so far. I have decided to just get the brake pads and rotors changed / turned when I get new tires along with a coolant flush and refill. I don't want to mess with bleeding brakes and all that.   I myself am going to do new plugs and wires, change the front and rear diff. and transfer case fluid and probably leave the transmission alone. I have already greased all of the grease points.   I believe this is probably more than most do and should give me peace of mind. :up:

I was gonna do the file filter too. I didn't realize they were all in one. Bummer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
