So i contacted the owners of that buck. Told them i love him and I am interested in him, it will just be a few weeks before i have the money. I didnt ask for them to hold him or anything just wanted them to know someone was interested in him. I would be so sad if they took him to auction or the butcher because they thought no one wanted him before i could reasonably get the money together. They thanked me for letting them know and said they would text if he sells before I am ready to get him.

I think most of us have been on the selling end of craigslist and we know eventually we just kinda give up on listing a critter for sale if they dont sell for several weeks or the 900th tire kicker comes along.

I could have asked about doing payments or something but that didnt feel right this time around.

Fate and Polypay...The sheep laying is either 308 or 310. In case anyone is wondering the pictures from this angle/spot are off our covered back deck.

Had our first heavy frost this morning :hit

We had our first frost this morning also.

:( Do you guys get much snow/below zero down there?

Nice view!
Thank you! When we get the sheep moved after the land is cleared we want to build an addition onto that deck and DH mentioned a catwalk to the second floor of the 2-story...we shall see.

If we get any snow at all it's usually just a couple of inches. The picture is of our only snow last winter (mid January) but we do get extended periods of temps down in the teens. The neighborhood kids had a ball sledding down the hill across from us and used 4 wheelers to go back up. :) We get enough freezing rain or ice on the roads that you stay stocked up because our hills aren't vehicle friendly on many days.
