Neighbor's doe had a beautiful, 7 lb 6 oz black headed girl with no assistance required. He was freaking out because he thought she still had one in there. I went over and she was fine. Afterbirth passed about a half hour after I got there. Mom and baby are doing great.

Hey, I'm behind on my Goat Rancher reading....but did I see your pic in the Dec. issue, in the article about the Kiko sale in Corydon???

 

[jodief100]

Yes Rolls, that is us in the picture. The conference and lectures were great but the sale was out of control!!!!!! It was cold and the barn wasn't heated and the prices were way too high. They are doing it earlier next year to avoid the cold but the picked the week of the Greyhound Gathering! I have sold coats at the Gathering for 8 years, I need to clone myself.

Two poultry swaps this Staurday. One at SS 10 miles south of me and one at the TSC 12 miles north of me. I have tons of chicks I need to sell and have no idea which one to go to.

The TSC is closer to the city and can draw a bigger crowd but they are city people. I sell a lot of heritige birds to city people but I have about 1/3 heritige birds and 2/3 production birds right now. But the manager of TC personally asked me to come. They don't promote the sale very well, just have a sign in the store. They don't really do anything for the vendors just allow them to set up in the parking lot.

The SS is in Falmouth. It is the county seat with a population of about 10,000 surrounded by farms like us. They just started doing thier swaps so I haven't sold there yet. The person I talked to on the phone was very excited and helpful. They are advertising better and really informing everyone who comes in the store about it. They want vendors to register (no charge) so they know what is being sold and help out. They also want the vendors to fill out a feedback form with suggestions for improvment and are giving a 10% off coupon in the store to anyone who buys at the swap.

So where do I go?!?!?!?! Once again, I need a clone. Hubby and dearest boy are going to be taking care of two customers who are coming out to the farm for goats and then they need to run into the city because dearest boy's Boy Scout troop is hiding the eggs for the school Easter festival. I love the Easter festival, they save all the egg cartons for me so I every year I get about 200 new cartons for free.

Do I go to where I know I can sell some birds but don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling about it or do I try someplace new? :/

I think I'd be trying something new and going to SS. It's closer to you and it sounds like they have been advertising more and are doing more for the buyers and sellers.
