In Firefox. The way the columns appear is probably a function of the blogger template -- but you probably already knew that. Funny story! IMHO, you are fortunate to have the choice to do goats and/or horses. This from a land- and zone-locked suburban gal. I say weigh your options and go for it!

My daughter, the animal FREAK, would live over there if she could. As it is, whenever they are out of town, my daughter gets up at the crack of dawn to collect eggs, feed the dog and chickens, and milk the goats. Apparently she's quite good at it. The goats will not let the owner's wife milk them, but the Girl has no problems at all. She'll turn 12 this month.

If you muck it out into a big pile, and keep pushing the pile up so it starts to break down, those guys love it. If not you either spread it yourself, or pay someone to haul it off. Loved the goat and udder story. I love goats. I have asked for them, but since they go all over and eat everything my husband nixed my dream. I do have the horse, and I board. At 33 with a daughter and a full time job of my own, I prefer to spend what little time and energy I have for the horse riding him. Not feeding and cleaning up after him. It gets expensive though. The initial cost of the horse is nothing compared to upkeep. Hence the ancient car, not newest clothes, and end tables for nightstands in our bedroom. Fair trade off as far as I am concerned. Did your Dotter ever get to take a riding lesson before you moved? What side bars? Open browser, resize, resize again, no sidebars.

As for other matters -- I'm surprised that OmegaDad didn't want to start out with an alpaca or llama (or are they priced in the same general range as horsies?) And thanks -- I thought that might be the Jean I know. On my Firefox on my Mac, yr left hand column does just fine.
