In our family, we have what is known as "Aunt Bonnie's One time rule. Once when asked what that meant and when it was in effect by his Mom, my nephew replied "Well, Mom,it means that
Aunt Bonnie tells us once and if we don't listen, we get in BIG trouble and it is in effect whenever we go to town with her, whenever we are with company, whenever .....uuummm.... it's in effect a lot, Mom". All my neices, nephews and their respective parents know, Aunt Bonnie's House, Aunt Bonnie's Rules. No questions asked. I see absolutely no reason that this is not how it should be. Period. I spoil em rotten, love em to death, and expect the respect and behavior that those things deserve.

Yesterday before work DH and I made a 2 hr trip to pick up our new silver fox baby boy and another pr. of SF for a friend.
The friend said we could use the SF sr. buck on our 2 breeding-age does.
This morning, DH found one of them dead.
She was a 10 mo. old doe who appeared to be in good health, the buck's been used on many does in the past, so the best guess is she had some sort of invisible heart defect and the stress was too much.
Cleaned the incubator from my latest hatch, then I went to work.
Today we had 2 customers before I went to work, and I've got a 'farm visit' scheduled at 10 am tomorrow, then customers pretty much all day after that.
Maybe Thurs. will be more layed back............
I can dream, can't I?
Hope all's well w/ everyone, I haven't had time to read journals....I'll catch up eventually.

I have a question which incubator would you recommend for a newbie? I had a friend hatch out 9 BO eggs for me and had 6 hatch. I want to trymyself but not sure where to start other than I need an incubator. Any help you could give would be great. Thanks

Well, I sold two favorites today, in my continuing efforts to help the 2012 numbers beat 2011.
Moonie (avatar goat) went to live w/ a poster here, and Yoda went to a local fellow.
We gave away our ewe and 3 older / unbreedable does a few weeks ago, sold 2 Toggs, 2 Obs, and a kid last week, and then these 2 today.
Down to only Nubs, Boers, and one lone black Ob left, and just 2 bucks, until Freeney returns.
I had a lady call yesterday about coming here. At first DH and I both thought she wanted to bring groups of people here, because she mentioned owning a bed and breakfast immediately before asking if we 'let people come see our goats.'
Finally got past the confusion and she explained she's working on a business plan for a class she's taking about farm businesses...she arrived today dressed to the nines.
Older lady driving a spotless SUV....invalid husband sitting in the passenger seat.
There's NO WAY this lady's ever going to be able to hold / trim hooves / vaccinate goats. She was too thin / frail / prissy.
I suggested she get some hair sheep and save herself some work / heartache....she just wants something pretty for her B-and-B's pastures and had a much more rose-colored-glasses-type idea of what owning goats means vs. reality.
I mean...she wore dress shoes and dangly earrings out here to 'see goats'...Dress shoes! In my mud!

Sounds like a conversation that I had yesterday. I went with my mom to her annual audit with her insurance agent. We met with the agents wife first who is a financial manager. When we got to talking about the farm she said that she almost quit to raise alpacas, but after visiting several farms she realized that the animals did some "pretty gross" things like spit at each other. And that made her want to puke. She said that if someone vomits that she follows suit. I kind of laughed on the inside because there's no way someone like that would be able to handle farm situations. (she dresses to the nines too).

Well I hope Moonie has a good home because she was a really friendly girl.....good luck to who ever got her. I am glad to hear you are getting some of your goats sold and making up for last year. Hopefully you get some kids soon so you have more to play with and sell. Tell Jeff sorry about his doe but I hope he has some success with the others.
