I want paint nubians, so save them for me and I will get them this Summer when I go visit family in Iowa. I can go "shopping" at your farm. I love Katahdin sheep too so I will have to get a few of those too. I want a pretty pig too so save me one of those.

Time to get out the property sized camo tent, lol. Lets see there are hardly any piglets left. Just a few little girls that I'm keeping cause I liked their spots, lol.

I thought you just got some Goats?

Your right that by summer I will have a surplus of Katahdin sheep.

Many of my cows are getting large bellies. Some should start bagging up in another week or two. May Galloway's are do sooner.

Yes I have 3 goats and 2 more reserved, but come on that is not even close to enough goats. I must have more!!!!!!

 

[Mamaboid]

OMG you just used the words enough and goats in the same sentence.

 

[77Herford]

Its possible for the strong to use those words. I have enough for now.

Someone is in denial about their GAS problem.

This Well issue is getting to be a real pain in the neck. I have to use city water right now, which is fine to use but is going to get expensive. Not to mention winter finally decided to show up at the worst time and they can't dig now. So we turned on the city water valve and what happens the pipe bursts from the cold temps. They just got the water on and just watching the new water meter spin is a BIT concerning.

 

[autumnprairie]

sorry to hear that you are having water issues, may the warm temps come back soon

 

[RemudaOne]

Wow! Are you having to water all of your animals off of city water? I hope it works out for you soon. At least it's not the height of the summer when everything is so THIRSTY.

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

So sorry to hear about your water isues. Hope it warms up for you adn you are able to dig soon. I remember our water bills. We really do take water for granted now that we don't pay for it. We had to replace the pump at the bottom of the well a few years ago, but that was a one time expense.

 

[77Herford]

They still drink alot in the winter. Its true during the spring and hot summer they will drink more. A wifes friend works for the utility company and we figured up what my bill will be at the end of the month... Its about the price of a motels monthly bill.

Now we as a farm need to make some tough discisions. First of all my friends horses are going back home. Next will be moving the Cow's over to retired farmers land for a month or two.
