Roll Farms - Herdstock is over, and I'm feeling hung over, lol

[Roll farms]

After chores I ran to a town about 20 min. away to get chicken feed, then to TSC for goat feed, which is in the opposite direction another 20 minutes. Also stopped for a couple human necessities at Meijer. Got home and put the feed away, and then started cleaning leaves out of flower beds. DH came home and we did the feeding and cleaned the gen. pop. stall, which had 12" of bedding / manure built up since last fall.

*holding my nose*

That stuff was RIPE.

We've never been able to clean it out in March before, it's usually too wet until May or so...probably would have topped the record 16" we had built up last year.
Alas, my sunshiney reprieve is over, rain forecasted for tomorrow and Friday. But having a week straight of SUNSHINE sure was nice.

Gonna try and catch up on paperwork if it does rain tomorrow.

The breeder where Penny (black Ob) came from emailed me today, he's got a newborn black Ob buckling he'll sell me cheap....but I can't run to OH to get it.......ugh.

I just sent payment for the black Ob buck, I couldn't help myself.....

The breeder has a friend coming through Ft Wayne on Saturday that can meet me....that's only 45 min. away.

Have a beautiful day~

So thats how that works.........

ok, so next time you have a lil spotted doeling..........have a friend come thru NC....and I'll just go pick her up.........

I actually have NO business buying a buck to breed to ONE doe, esp. when that ONE doe *always* has kidding problems....I swore I was going to breed her to a Nigerian next time.....*sigh*

All I can think of are little black Oberhasli babies of my own.

So now....I have to plan ahead to practically starve Penny for the last mo. of her pregnancy...I'll make sure she's in good shape before I breed her, then hold back on grain for the last 4 wks hoping to prevent a 13# kid. (She's had 10,11, and 12# bucklings in the past).

I'll post pics of "Buttin' Heads Eye O' the Tiger" when I get him home Saturday....

OMG - I am lmbo over here....I just checked my email and ANOTHER Ob breeder I know sent an email, "Hey Kim...I have 4 doe kids available if you're interested."

So...guess I'ma get a little doeling to help justify the little buckling. Heh.
