One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[OneFineAcre]

I bet I will end up with a yellow Suburban from the forestry service or DOT
I bought my car from a GSA auction

We rented a camper last year for the Memorial Day show and it was so awesome being able to stay at the facility and not have to drive 15 miles to a hotel late at night.
It was terribly expensive to rent one though.
It was going to be even more this year.
So, I had been keeping my eyes out for a deal.. Found a distressed sale due to divorce.
It's a 26 ft, 2007 Pioneer.
NADA on this average retail is $8300.
I got this for $2500

Was going to wait until I had better pictures.
Oh, and I don't have anything to pull it with. My truck is a 6 cylinder. But, I know a good deal when I see it.

$10,199

That is fantastic! I know y'all are going to get lots of use out of it.

Good job on the milk test

Well you might be better off than you think then... the forestry truck that drives by here everyday is winter green.

At least it won't be a banana boat

You will love it! We LOVE having a camper at shows. Of course, with 4 kids it's almost necessary for my sanity.

How are you going to take the goats AND the camper? We have a topper on the truck for the goats and sometimes put a few Nigees or babies in crates in the "toy hauler" part of our camper. That wasn't the plan, but um, neither were the number of goats we have. Sometimes the boys take it with the dirt bikes in it. That sold the husband.

For Memorial Day and State Fair we get Maurine's dads truck and livestock trailer
Last year when we rented the trailer used his truck and made 2 trips
Dropped camper off and came home and got livestock trailer and goats
Took camper back Sunday afternoon and then went back
It was a pain but will probably have to do the same thing this year
I'll find something

That's an awesome deal you got there OFA. There was a time when I'd wanted/considered a motor home or trailer, but now being by myself and with animals, not much chance for traveling anymore

I was originally looking one of those pop ups so I could pull with my truck
Some have shower some not and anything decent was as much as I paid for this
Then I started looking at the motor homes and $5 k will get you something in the mid 80"s model years
I' just love a good deal
I'll find something I can pull it with
I didn't even mention it includes on of those stabilizing trailer hitches and a fitted cover

Finally caught up sorry to hear about the losses, always sucks.

Your wife and i think a like i was thinking trade it into the dealer and get something smaller then more goats lol or a barn for the boys.

Started cleaning the camper this weekend
Got some better pics
I think I have made a deal with someone on something to pull it with
More on that next week
