I have barn full of hay! Stacked to the lofts on the ends and almost to the rafters in the middle. :weee I might be able to fit about 40 more bales if I really try hard. I just love the smell of a barn full of hay.

We have been very fortunate. People in our immediate vicinity have been begging me to buy hay because they have too much, you go 50 miles in any direction and people can't find hay for under $5 a bale. There are about 150 bales of alfalfa, 50 bales of grass/alfalfa and 150 bales of mixed grass. I paid under $800 for the whole bunch. I am so very grateful that we are in this position and feel guilty I can't send some of it to those who desperatly need it. I am bringing in a trailer load to work for a coworker for his horses. He has been paying between $5 and $6 a bale for mixed grass.

I just ordered new checks and I found goat checks!!!! I am so excited. Who would have thunk it? :hu

We got back from the Buck Test Sale late last night. Things went well. We received 4 awards: Top Producer of the Year, Highest Gaining Buck, Most Parasite Resistant Buck and Most Parasite Resilient Buck. We sold 3 of our bucks for good prices and bought one. If anyone wants a proven parasite resistant commercial buck, give us a call, w have three very nice ones. 2 can be registered 50% kiko, the 3rd can be registered 88% kiko.

This is our new boy: Quantum Singularity.
He is a 100% New Zealand Kiko and did well on the test. Not as well as most of ours but I want new genetics and these are proven.

:ep and :thumbsup
Paying about 8 bucks a square bale or 120 on Round bales but it depends on the type of quality and type.

Jodie: I don't normally do this, but you have to check out this t-shirt. My husband said he is buying me an entire wardrobe of these in all different styles and colors and you can even get coffee mugs and othe stuff to go with it.

It would go really well with your goat checks. That is assuming your husband feels like you are driving him crazy. There are other ones with different sayings.

I also liked this one: Reminds me of my husband and I, and don't we look happy on it?

20kids- I bought myself one of those shirts, thanks!

We went down to Tennessee and back in one day. I bought 9 new girls at the Appalachian Kiko sale in Eastern TN. They are settling in well. Been too busy this weekend to get pictures, 9 hours of driving in one day will do that to you. :th

They are some pretty girls, some purebreds and some percentages. I cant wait for babies!!!!!! :weee

We will start kidding in late November/early December if everything goes according to plan. :lol:
