@frustratedearthmother yes, you counted right. And one will be bred. She's dtr to recently bought Cosmo. Still looking for 3 more does...hoping traditional color but, I buy bodies so color is 2nd. Goat math. 
now I'm looking at registry crap again. Formality mostly, plus knowing their genetics. I'm raising meat...want good $ sales...young & chunky.
Even considering all males from dairy girls being pulled and bottled. Lining up with some buyers first...but $ may be worth the effort.

He is a Painted Desert sheep. Hair sheep so he sheds his fleece.

Daylight. 55 out. Jacket up for chores and off to work. Yeah, getting tired of the idea of a job....
.
Today or tomorrow a new load of hay to arrive at sellers. Hope it's awesome!!! I want that part of winter prep done....at least most of it. Holding my breath on price but, gotta have it!! Just makes price feel better if it's really good.
So now, new phone, the darned ads are in action! Not my favorite thing.

First cup heading in. I remain hopeful for the correct result. I'm exhausted, but can't sleep late. My body is insane. Had dinner last night at our friends house for the holiday, I'm never eating agin. I think I gained 5 pounds literally overnight. My gf is a really good cook. (and sent home a crazy amount of leftovers with us!)
My house is surrounded by turkeys. I enjoy watching them, and I do collect the feathers, but the, um, "gifts" they leave behind are massive, and my smallest dog thinks the piles are lovely to try to roll in.
Edith got wet and the other girls started pecking at her so I had to spray her with Blu-Kote. Now she's a punk rocker. My sons laughed too hard at her, and she tried pecking at them.
Still waiting on a start date for school, apparently my financial aid has to go through for them to give me classes. So we wait on the government to clarify their intentions. This may be awhile. Snails pace is standard.
Today's list includes putting loads of stuff in the attic, and seeding the grass down the hill. included is pulling weeds that are taller than me, and look like they're becoming trees. I've really neglected the house down the hill this past summer. Time to prep for next year, garden and increase in hives. I may borrow the neighbors goats to clear out some of it. I'm sure they'd be happy to help. (Plus, DH can see just how "useful" the goats will be next year.)
My friends in Florida have decided to head out today, so I may have some visitors later in the week. As long as they stay safe! I'm hoping that all the people of Florida stay safe! Ian is becoming a monster of a storm!
