Coffee anyone ?

I found a feed store that I’ve somehow overlooked so feed problem is hopefully solved. No new lambs for a few days but several ewes have that “any minute” look. My FIL passed yesterday after a brief hospitalization due to a fall. I’m glad Hubbs was visiting them. We both had a feeling that he needed to check in on them. His parents were raised on family farms and are fiercely independent, still in their own home.

@Blue Sky Good on feed, sorry about FIL.

@Weldman. If the corn was only wet & fermenting, pigs could still have & loved it! Poultry, too. What'd you do with it?

Hay run cancelled, dealer closed Sun/Mon. I forgot what day it was -- home so much, don't remember!

I should start looking into those BIG bags! I'm 50#ing alfalfa pellets. 3-400# at a time. And poured into metal trash cans (or meat teach cans ). I keep the bags in the "tackroom" - as my cans only hold ~150#. One can for pellets and one for sheep mineral. LOL any bigger can for me and reaching the bottom could be an issue (help I've fallen and I can't get out! ). Need to check around and put the thinking cap on.
Got all my books and records finished up yesterday. Feels good to have that done and a plan for who stays, who gets bred, who goes to freezers and who goes to auction. I've had a feeling as to who/what/where just looking at everyone, but actually getting it written out feels sooo good. On the right track.

It’s turning black and it’s still in the tote. Haven’t done anything with it yet.

@Baymule .... you might not be living that one down soon

Found a 14% all stock. It has 10 ppm copper but the limit is 23 according to several sources. Also says safe for sheep and lambs on bag. I’ll mix with 1/3 sweet feed and a little corn as usual.
Thanks all for the condolences, they are appreciated.

My sister in law's mother passed last month. Due to a fall. Took her two weeks to pass on, at the age of 92. There was nothing they could do! As we all get older, falls are a real hazzard. Our bones and spine are just not young anymore.

MEAT TEACH cans??? STUPID AUTOCORRECT!!

Metal trash cans!!

Autocowreckt is how I refer to it...

I'm sorry for your loss.
