hey guys checking in again. have jb's computer for a couple of days so am taking advantage of it. I've about gone blind trying to catch up on everyone and everything. so many new folks, @NH homesteader, @CntryBoy777, @Green Acres Farm, @Alexz7272, @cjc and all the others that I can't remember right now, hi to you all, you've come to a good place to share and learn. and youall know there will be a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. things are going well around here since the craziness of the spring and summer seems to be over. I haven't broken anything for at least 2 months . thank you Lord. goats are doing really well. for some reason most of them are really slow coming into heat, don't have a clue why but I only have 4 bred out of the 10. thinking about putting the doelings in the buck pen where they'll be safe and turning the buck out with the does just in case they are having little heats that i'm not catching. makes me go hummm. of the 4 does that are bred I traded two of them for a couple of half grown hogs. a large black gilt and a yorkshire cross barrow. so much for not raising a pig this year but at least I have a time table for them to go to freezer camp. ds#1 and i are going to share the large black and the yorkie is gonna be a Christmas present divided between ds#3, ds#4 and ds#5. I think they'll enjoy that more than something frufru from wallyworld. have another 21 bunnys to send to freezer camp and then i'm not going to breed them again till spring. one can easily become overrun with the dang things. sent a wether lamb and 2 goat wethers to freezer camp last week. yum! have a new ram for the sheeple, leasing him like last year. this time I chose a youngster so hopefully he won't get that whack-a-me mode like the last one did. baymule you'll know which pictures are for you.
@Baymule I was tickled to see how much you liked your first lamb. so good huh. and youall have made so much progress on your place, wow. and to answer you question about how I cook the rabbits I guess the answer is just about any way you'd cook a chicken. last week I put a couple in the crock pot with some garlic and a can of cream of chicken, that was really tasty. one weekend the sil cooked a bunch of them in his turkey fryer, good too. barbequed too, again in the crock pot.
@Latestarter i'm so glad to see that you finally got moved, i'm so happy for you. i'll even forgive the fact that now you are a dreaded texican. mom raised me to cheer for the razorbacks and anybody that texas played and I guess it kind of stuck, lol. now just don't kill yourself trying to fix everything in one fell swoop. and i'm glad you, @Devonviolet & dh and @Baymule & her dh all got to meet and eat. and latestarter you'll know which picture is for you.
@Southern by choice you just need to know that i'm pretty mad at you @frustratedearthmother and @babsbag. just what I need to want, another puppy. that gp/mastiff cross is a doll! and we both know that I love not leo and would love a pup out of that cross. you are all troublemakers! glad all seems to be going well. and when are you moving?
@samssimonsays i'm sorry you are having so much trouble with your dogs. I truly hope they can get over this and live long healthy lives. @OneFineAcre again congratulations on the show wins. the girls are doing great, do you think it has something to do with the care they get at home. @Ghost Whisperer you did so good for your first show really proud of you. you do know that you have now gone over to the dark side and it's all OFA's fault. you know i'm joking right. I loved all the years that I spent showing. so many good people you meet and so much to learn. you go girl. @Mini Horses hang in there, we need to have a long chat about things. @Ferguson K exciting about job, hang in there.
youall take care and i'll see you when I get a chance to get back.

So glad to hear from you, hope you get to come back and visit with us soon!
Wish you could be around more as I've always enjoyed your posts. Keep not breaking stuff!
I'm getting ready to park mine & winterize. Just got last of pastures mowed and the dang bushhog off the back end of the tractor. I'm seriously challenged with hooking up that piece of equipment! Maybe your crew will surprise you with a little computer for Xmas....
. Guess I should add "win the lottery" 
What the heck!
Keep checking in when you can. We miss your posts.
