Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

Totally not dairy related or even goat, but I had to share. This showed up on my FB this morning and it is priceless to say the least.

I saw a conversation once where one person posted he was looking for a trailer that he could pull with his pickup to haul his livestock. Another person got on and said nobody needs something that uses that much fuel and that the person looking for the trailer should do like "normal" people do and get his meat from the grocery store.

@babsbag, We get that kind of stuff sent to us all the time (plus large amount of hate mail). We started out with chickens and quail before we went into the larger stock. I remember talking with my Grandfather about life when he was a kid. When they came west at age 6, they had with them a fair number of chickens because they were light weight, needed little feed/could scavenge and was a source of protein, both meat and eggs. He told me of how they would get eggs every other day or third day for most of the year (due to the small amount of feed and water available), but in the spring when the chickens could find plenty to eat and water was in greater supply, they would get an egg a day per chicken. Most are probably wondering why I would recount what most people know about chickens today. I put this down because it is a small snip it of when my Grandfather was 6, heading west in a covered wagon in 1904. I guess even back then, chickens had been genetically modified to produce more than 12 eggs a year.

Also love the egg yolk used to mask the names!

Definitely genetically modified in 1904.

The dairy is up and running. Not certified yet but I have power, water, and all systems are a go.

I've been wondering how things are going, with your dairy, but haven't seen anything in my alerts or feed. So I came looking. I'm so happy for you, Babs!!!
