Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

. Good morning all !!!

Sun is up. 40 out and going to 50....but no rain!! . Basically no wind. Makes it a pretty warm 50.

Habits. Hot coffee. I love to smell it brewing. That was a nice wake up and now a lovely cuppa down the hatch. Chores in a few, then....??????? Whatever the day brings.

Sipping coffee and contemplating the "chore for the day." Another warm one but I'm not complaining. Had to break back out the shorts and t-shirts. I'm ok with that!

I’m gulping down my coffee this morning because I’ve got to clean the house. Pipes upstairs also leaked so we’re don’t have water. Nice hole in my bathroom now.

Homes SHOULD have access plates to all plumbing junctions, but NOOOOOO……. You are forced to bust out a hole. So now you can put in that access plate because there WILL be a next time!

Looking around at livestock scales - what do you all have? Or do you guestimate on weights for things like worming, feeding, etc? Thoughts???

Guesstimate. It's much cheaper. Hitting the occasional auction can keep you (me on cattle) pretty accurate. Back when I did go that is.

I like that answer - but where to start on a guestimate!!!

Slept in till SEVEN!!!!! Missed the Crack'O Dawn entirely!
Planned for it though. Left Eva & Blossom together so she could start on the morning milking until I got out there.
I SERIOUSLY don't remember the first month or so being so hard!
It's not been quite 3 while weeks yet & I keep finding myself thinking that I'm NEVER doing this again. Maybe train Eva for riding instead.....

I'd say the sale barn, but it's been so long since I've been to one at all, much less sheep or goat, I have to ask. Do they show the weights of sheep/goats at the sale?

 

[farmerjan]

Here at our sale barns, the sheep and goats are mostly sold by the head. If there are a bunch of lambs, similar sized, they are weighed as a group, the average weight shown... these are like lambs that are for someone to take and feed out to slaughter size.... Sometimes they will weigh out a big animal and sell by the weight... but as a rule, they are sold by the head.

And yet, you will.. That's why I have 20 some goats who will start kidding in a couple months...
