Coffee anyone ?

Coffee is good this morning.
We have had a bit of rain last few days. More plaster down in the farmhouse. Co op day then clean bunny cages. Got some tattooed yesterday.

Warm, light fog, overcast, light scattered rains again -- just gloomy! I could use some sunshine! Just some smiling sunshine!!

I have to change out a tire on the horse trailer -- will need to use it to transport those goats tomorrow. Auction day. Hope to find some young pullets to buy while there. Better get that done this AM while there's a break in rain, "they" say will pick up in late afternoon.

Sadly, those wildfires on West coast are getting worse. My heart just breaks for them. The losses are unimaginable -- as are the years it will take to recover their lives and the terrain. Disasters have been extreme in many areas. Add Covid and this country is ugly with loss!

Thanks for the coffee PA. A field trip sounds like fun.
I woke up at 3 AM but went right back to sleep. Woke up again at 7. Coffee is good. It is 65 degrees outside this morning! And only a high of 82 degrees today! I have things to do inside today, hopefully I'll get done and can get outside to pull weeds in the garden. I need to get mustard greens planted and radishes.

Thanks for the coffee! Steer is being delivered today, got to get the pigs metal feed bin out, a steer would tear it up. Got to back the water barrel hog nipple out too, so he doesn't bump it and mess it up. Put in the black water tub and we'll be set.

What a day.....planned for goat auction. Trailer back up, goats followed me and loaded themselves. One mile out & flat tire! Turned, back home, put goats in a pasture -- they can go next month! -- and left. No time for tire repairs and all that.

Went to auction & bought a few things on the cheap. Got 13 pullets, 3 months, at 7.50 each -- a sex link but, that's ok as I sell eggs and they do lay well, just fewer years. They will start lay within a month. My heritage are still here. Left before the livestock went in the ring -- not much I really wanted and I had to get home to unload the new chickens, do chores before dark. Their coop was ready -- not a big deal. So I'll have winter layers with these and the 5 hatched this year. Customers will be happy!

Not thrilled with the bucklings not getting to sale BUT, it's ok! They'll be bigger next month and bring more $$. Just wanted them off of my chore list. Tomorrow -- tire issues to fix. And it;s Sunday so won't get much done until Monday.

Hope everyone had a good day!

I don't like flat tires! Sorry that you didn't get the wethers to auction. It's getting to that time of year when we want to cut down on chores.

Speaking of winter chores, our steer got delivered today. He will go to slaughter in March. Then we will get pigs again. I see a pattern developing here......

Our Steer is Here!

Our steer was delivered today. He was born last October, 2019. He has a slaughter date in March 2021. He is half Charolais and half Hereford. We named him Goldie.
