Wonder if it would be ok to breed a Boer to one of my pygmy's, I'm guessing no. Probably be like breeding a Charlios Bull to a Dexter cow

Yes, IMHO, you know about cattle and genetics with your years of success, you know SOMETHING about Goat genetics. Boers are Big Meat Goats and Pygmy's well small. Wouldn't be a very good mix. And I would know that you knew this if I just knew what a Charlios Bull was. A Dexter Cow is a Milker right?

Lol, Ms. Research you crack me up. Charolais, yes I spelled it wrong on the previous message are BIG beef breed of cattle and Dexters are a small dual or tri purpose cattle. Many people confuse them with mini cows but they are a bit bigger.

Also those abbreviations, I have no idea what your saying, lol.

IMHO = In My Honest Opinion.

See you are not much of a texter. Don't worry, neither am I. Just a few abbreviations I learned from my Son. I always got the when I asked him what he meant. Texting is for they young. They can have it.

 

[77Herford]

Yes, I barely use my cell phone. I think I pay a few bucks for a minute with the amount I use it, lol, but they are handy for emergencies so I keep it.
I asked the Goat question to get a rise out of you ladies got to incite some conversation.

Ok, things getting done today....NFL FOOTBALL.

I will still do chores and bring in the Goats but Football season is here. I guess later I could rake the hay field again and maybe monday or tuesday bale it.
I can just hear all the heads shaking....lol.

 

[77Herford]

Oh, yeah and I'm letting Dorothy one of my Hereford sow's back with the herd if she wants to with her piglets.

 

[77Herford]

Well the piglets didn't get mauled and Dorothy is a good mamma. The family is enjoying the large pasture setting now but are currently snuggled up in the straw bedded stall were they were born.
Ended up calling the help over and balling some late night hay. No rain for nearly a week and the hay dried up quick. Now I got four hay wagons stacked five bales high in the yard, lol. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow and will be happy when the school lets out and I get some help stocking the hay barn.

 

[77Herford]

Ugh, hours of stacking hay.... Taking a break.

NOT looking forward to that chore in a few weeks. I want to see the piglets!

Met some passionate people at my farm supply store today. They mentioned rasing Tamworths and I said I had two too which their eye's brightened up and all most immediately said how hard it is to find in the state. They asked if they had papers and I said, yes and with that they offered to buy them. I initially said no thanks, but they were almost rudely persistant so I throughout a number I thought ridiculous for the pair and they just agreed and before I knew it I had a $900 dollar check and we were driving back to my place for them to see their new pigs.

Mind you this only happens in the movies or something so this is a first for me but by tomorrow evening the Tammy's should be gone...
I cashed the check already so I'm good and made some very fast profit. All will go to taxes, grumble.

 

[elevan]

Wow! Good for you!

Although I'm pretty cautious with checks...I cash at the bank the check is written on or I hold the "merchandise" until the check clears (up to 10 days).

Hey, sometimes you step in something good! Congratulations. You had something someone wanted desperately.

Regarding the check, if it becomes rubber, you can always go get those piggies. But I doubt it. I think if they went with your "thrown out" offer, they really want those piggies. All is good. Karma can be a neat thing.
