hello from South GA in the USA
« on: August 25, 2009, 08:49:44 pm »
I just wanted to say hello to everyone, I accidentally found this site when I was looking on the web for the best pig breeds to consider. Low and behold it brought me hear and I've been mesmerized most of the day by so many helpful members here, so I decided to join. Some of the words and phrases are totally lost on me, so please forgive me in advance if I say something that sounds dumb.

A little about my self:  I am American. I live in Georgia, the very southernmost part of the state. Most of the year is warm but the Summer is very hot and humid. And the Summer starts in April and lasts until October. The winter has no snow (I like that part) and the whole 2 months of it, everyone around here can't stop complaining ::) Anyway, I used to own a small zoo with over 200 animals, 35 different species and I loved the animal part of the operation and it was very successful. After 15 years I had just had it with the public and decided to down size and start up a camel dairy. My husband and myself moved to the South of the state and purchased 45 acres to do just that. We have been here a little over a year now and are going to be breaking ground on our dream home tomorrow!!! I had my beautiful barn built first (barns come first, right?).I'll share photos of it if you like. I'm very excited to have found such a knowledgeable group of people on the web.

Goodness, TAS is really an octopus - we do have far reaching tentacles, don't we?  A very warm welcome to you, cameldairy!

I would certainly like to see photos.  I built my own house a few years back and would love to do it again.

Hi and welcome. We'd love to see photos.

Forgive my ignorance but is a camel dairy really what it sounds like? Do you milk camels?

If you post videos to youtube and photos to photobucket - both are free - yuo can then put the links in a message on here and size doesn't matter at all!

If you copy the last bit of code under your photobucket pics starting [img] the pics will embed in the post for you, so you don;t have to follow links ;)
