Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Another day of 70s. Rains gone, cooler, drier air...supposed to be this and mid 80s all week! I'm loving that forcast. Didn't get to much yesterday with rains. Today I'll separate goats heading to sale tomorrow, into their own paddock. Willhook trailer late day and leave it and truck set at loading area for morning jump in.

Slept late -- for me -- 7 am! Actually slept well last night. So I'm feeling pretty good and enjoying my coffee. Heading out in a while for a day of farm work.

Found two Boer bucks that I'm looking at this weekend. One is a cross with?...prob Kiko from what I see in pics. Yeah, my meat goat herd addition still working and the buck is important. I can see results early 2022 by crossing him with does I have now, dairy girls but, large ones. That helps show how strong his genetics are for the bulk carcass input since the meat breed girls add their own size, this way I see what he adds. It can only improve or he'll be short term. A commercial herd is about good production, ease of care, profit from sale of kids. My dairy girls give me more personal interaction with milking.

I have a plan. Buying can be fun.

We spent all of our money and bought a bobcat with attachments.

You can do it Al!!! Easy snow pushing and relocating this winter for you.

Sun up... COOL 53 this morning.... going to haul a group of steers to the sale today, for a friend that we rent part of his place. Was going to do it around 8-9 but things change and DS can't get off work to come help load until about noon... Just have to get there before 2, to unload...
Going in to do some stuff in the kitchen.. and will hang a load of clothes before I leave, after the grass is dry. Time to eat some breakfast (?) since I thought I would be gone and on my way back by now....

I’m up and moving. Got dressed and went outside. I’m feeling better but still not there. Neigjbor Robert came over the past couple days to feed for me. I’ve been down. BJ is still down but is feeling better.

@promiseacres im so glad y’all are better. Take things easy and don’t overdo yourself.

@Mini Horses we will want pictures of your new bucks!

it’s 53 this morning, I did fork some hay to the sheep while Robert was here. He called me from the barn to tell me Miranda had twins, boy and girl.

@Alaskan you will enjoy that bobcat. Those are so much fun. Maybe not in your application, in the cold and snow. LOL

 

[Finnie]

Yay for Miranda!

Coffee is on.
Sent DH back to work this morning. He's doing great... (last day of steriod! ) praying he does ok off of it!!! And he's got permission to only work 1/2 a day if he feels bad. Getting back to doing a few things myself....not easy depending A LOT on my DS (who turns 13 next week! )

Glad to hear hubby is better.

And it is good for your eldest. 12/13 is a fine age to learn to do most things.

You wouldn't believe then number of kids that have no idea how to take care of themselves.

You can do it Al!!! Easy snow pushing and relocating this winter for you.

I sure hope so!

@Alaskan you will enjoy that bobcat. Those are so much fun. Maybe not in your application, in the cold and snow. LOL

Well... it has an enclosed cab, and a working heater.... I checked.

It comes with a bucket that we can use to scoop snow... and it comes with a huge snowblower.

Kid 3 is going to see if he can rig up one of our old plows too, that will help.

 

[Mini Horses]

Wow, Alaskan, that looks to be in great shape!

WHEN I buy a buck, pics will come won't buy until I feel It's what I want...no rush, always looking! This is an investment with a purpose. I have requirements, BTDT.

Moving trailer in a few, to be load ready tomorrow. Weather lovely!

NICE looking machine @Alaskan !!!! The snowblower will be a wonderful addition to the snow removal brigade... Ours has a front door/glass but DS took it off so he can get in and out easier... and we have alot less cold and spend alot less time out in the "weather" but it can be closed in. Not sure of the heater.... but you will definitely get some use out of yours.... Good for you.

Hey @Mini Horses ... have a great day tomorrow, hope that you sell lots of goats and they bring astronomical prices to put towards the future Boer sires..... We are going to have really wonderful weather... hope yours is too...

And already looking towards next Saturday's weather...
