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

Maybe those Ob's are goats that don't fill until right before? I hope so, I know how much you love Ob's.

Good work on the barn. Quit sending snow our way, it was COLD this morning.

Hope to see more babies soon!

Oh Rolls, I have the most amazing old feed bags at my house. My mom saved them from an old feed store she used to work at. I am going to put them into a frame of some sort. Are you looking for just images to print off to put in the window frame or actual pieces of feed bags etc??? If it's just images to print I will look around for you, I love the old pics of pigs, cows, goats etc..

I'd take pictures, feed sacks, just anything. When I look online, I can only find pics that are too small to print at a good quality (I need them to be 5x7 to fit the windows - ) and I'm not finding really what I want.

I'd like something that says, "Farm Fresh" for one of the holes, one w/ a cow...one w/ a pig...etc. Just 'old' looking....somethings.

One of those things where I *know* what I want, I just can't stinking find it....but I'll know it when I see it...lol.

I also wanted some form of cut outs of farm animals, goat, chicken, etc. I have a cow. Not having any luck w/ that, either. Wood or metal.

Even if these Ob's udders grow, their teats are TINY and my hands aren't in good enough shape to mess w/ two-fingering it. I may have to break out my broken hand milker thingie (the name escapes me) on them.

I am the birds of Grant Co.'s best friend right now. I saved a ton of bacon grease and bought some suet and made suet cakes last week. They're a big hit in this cold weather.

I found a neat place that has vintage farm post cards. http://www.zazzle.com/vintage+farm+postcards

Most of them are around 4" X 5 " but they have some neat pictures and you wouldn't have to print out photos. They are not bad prices either. Just an idea that would look kind of neat.

Here is a site that makes vintage metal signs if you don't mind buying the signs. Not sure if they could do them a 5x7 size though. The signs are also customizable. They are out of FL. www.vintagemetalart.com

It's been colder than cold, so for the last 2 days all we've done besides the bare minimum is watch movies, clean house, cook, bake, etc.

AHHHHHHHHH. I'm so glad for a break...

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

I hear you. It is cold.

Okee dokee....A lot to catch up on.

I finally got to work yesterday....YAY. I hatched 2 more silkie chicks this week. Dunno what's went wrong w/ my hatches unless it's b/c I'm hatching so few in such a big bator.
3 chicks total so far. Better than none, I guess.

The bunny barn is coming tomorrow. Probably be busy helping DH set it up. It's getting a ceiling / insulated, etc.

I sold the Anatolian Sheperd pup today, along w/ Peyton's buckling.
Now the only kid left is Peyton's doeling...I've priced her high enough that she probably won't sell....I hope, I wanna keep her.

The Obs continue to be preggo, udders aren't getting any bigger. :/
Risque, the big fat nubian, is really uddering up now.
And if Ellie (Nubian) kids before Feb. 18th, they'll be 'pure' Nubians, sired by a friend's buck. After that they'll be Bullitt's.

I sure hope I get at least 2 does from these ladies, I have a guy who's been making payments on 2 dairy doelings since October.....

I hope all's well w/ everyone.
