Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[CocoNUT]

Well...I guess if Ink was eating the dead kid...he won't need as much dog food! Just tell Tim you're trying to save him money with "raw feeding" and if he doesn't like it...then to find somewhere else to put them!
Sorry you lost the triplet...that sucks.
Just remember the term "marital property"....that's all I'll say!
MORE LAMBIES! We want lambies...I think you need to go outside and cooo cooo them with your mama voice! You know they love that! It might help them along.....

I was wondering too...hope Bridge didn't eat too much chili and is hanging out in the bathroom? Maybe she is busy with new lambies!!!!!

Hi everyone!

The chili party was really fun. I loved seeing my old neighborhood friends. I miss them so much! I do wish we lived up there. We went and looked at that farm first, and it was really cool. There was a lot of junk and trash on the property, but cleaned up it had a lot of potential. It had pasture for horses and sheep, woods for the goats, a stream and a pond. IT also had a big bank barn and a pole barn and some stables and chicken coop type buildings. But the bad part was you had to drive through a run down seedy-looking mobile home park to get into the farm. And so everyone who lived there would see you coming and going, and know exactly when you weren't home. And as much tools and stuff we have laying around all the time, not to mention the animals, it just didn't seem safe. But it was fun to look at, of course we can't really go anywhere anytime soon anyways.

So after the chili party we came home and there were no surprises, good or bad. We only have one more goat that hasn't kidded yet, she is ready to go anytime. As for the sheep, well I really have to keep an eye on them, anyone of them could surprise us. I'm pretty worn down from getting up in the middle of the night every night.

Today I just caught up on some work that is due tomorrow. And, Tim sold the new little piggy AND an alpine mommy and her babies. Plus the people who bought the pig want to come back for baby and mommy goats, too.

That stinks that you have to drive through a mobile home park, it sounds like it'd be a really nice place otherwise!

Hopefully you only get good surprises from here on out! And yayyy for selling things

 

[autumnprairie]

Sounds like you have had a lot going on lately,

YAY on selling the new piggie and alpine (with babies)!
I saw your lambing thread...CUTE babies!

What a yucky day! First, Bon sends us her nasty weather so everybody gets to come up to the barn again! Everybody is crammed into every nook and cranny we have, hopefully will stay there and stay dry. Just PLEASE no lambs or kids tonight!

This morning I had to take Ruth to her post cancer maintenance treatment for 3 hours, and the whole time my clients were sending me e-mails wanting stuff and I couldn't get anything to them. Ugh. Her regular buddy was sick so she couldn't take her. Of course sitting and listening to Ruth tell you the same things over and over and over again would make anybody's day a bad day.

Tim and Annie are both sick...ugh. I'm sure hoping I don't get sick since I have to take my sis to get her surgery on Monday.

It just was a bad day, and of course rain and mud don't help anything. But we managed to band the little lambs tails and put ear tags on all the baby goats. Tim has sold all the alpine goat families except for the one which he wants to keep. They are a popular item! Of course you know selling this stuff only empowers him to go out and buy more. Well, he's a livestock dealer, and I have to admit he makes a living at it. He is a full-time farmer, doesn't have any other kind of job, so there's something to be said for that.

Now I want to move to Kentucky, and hang out at Shelly May's place.

Nothing creative going on, no time. I have started knitting a headband with my hand spun, and I have 3 rows done.

That's my quickie report. :bun
