We have finally found a newsletter program that meets our needs. You can sign up with the QR code above if you have a QR Reader. If not, here is the link to a regular subscription form.

I hope you will be able to join me live as I talk about the advantages of raising goats on Blog Talk Radio on October 18th at 4PM Eastern Time.

Advantages Of Raising Goats 10/18 by Sheri Ann Richerson | Blog Talk Radio.

The call in number to speak to me live, on-air is (626) 657-2120.

I’d love to answer your questions or address your concerns about raising goats. We do raise ours organically, so I can address those issues as well.

If you do not wish to call in, please feel free to post questions below this post in the comment section and I will get to as many of those as I can.

Questions that I cannot answer on air that day will receive an answer as well.

Thank you! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

We have added Apture Search to the website; a feature that allows you to highlight text on the page and do a search on the text on YouTube, Twitter, and other content without leaving the page.

For some reason I am unable to change the name of the show, so it is under my name Sheri Ann Richerson. The topics of the show, however, will be related to homesteading. You can view the upcoming topics on the event calendar on the side of the front page, http://www.experimentalhomesteader.com, as well as the date and time the show will air. I will archive the show as well, so if you miss it, you can listen later.

Here are the first four scheduled shows:

1. Getting Started With Chickens on Tue, Sep 6, 2011 04:00PM Eastern

One of the easiest animals to start raising on the homestead is chickens. In this episode we will explore the advantages of raising chickens, problems that can arise from raising chickens and how to keep your chickens healthy.

Welcome to the cute animal photo day! This is a new part of the blog that will appear on the homepage, experimentalhomesteader.com, under featured posts. It allows you, the reader, to post photos you have taken of cute animals – or animals doing cute things and will re-occur on the 2nd day of every month.

Anyone who loves animals, including pet owners, veterinarians, and students in vet tech schools, will love to see the cute photos.

Please post photos that you have taken – not ones you have come across on the internet.

The program that we will use for this is Mister Linky.

So – let’s see all those cute photos! Go ahead and show off your best friends. I’m looking forward to it. Let me get the ball rolling with a photo of one of my cute animals.

This is Bubba taking a bath.
