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

hmmm.

I think that she got the Lamanchas, so that she could breed them to Freeney later, and then bring me spotted nub does and peanut butter fudge. I'll be a good sport and let her have a few of my plants.

That's MY theory anyway.

I'll get pics later, crazy nuts day again.....I now own 2 bred LaMancha does...bred to a son of Chaos....

Wait.... I thought since you were buying Miss Spotty Pants you weren't getting any other goat this year.. Lol.

That is what I remember also. Somebody go check on her hubby, did she lock him in the closet or did he get more bunnies.

WAIT.....1st off, I said I wouldn't BUY any goats....I didn't BUY these goats, I traded Tally (yearling dry Nub) for them.
2nd, this LaMancha deal was tentatively made 2 wks ago, before I ever saw the spotty darling....so it's 'grandfathered' in.

Because I said so.

I am not a big LaMancha fan, I prefer ears, can't help it....
But a friend of ours (Judy) wanted rid of these 2 does (she bought them to show in 4-H, and they have very milkable, but UNshow-worthy udders) and wanted a 'show' goat for her daughter. Someone was supposed to have come and got them 2 wks ago but didn't show up. I told her if they didn't come by the time Risque and Ellie kidded, that I'd buy them....if I still needed does.
She was picking and pestering me to sell her one of the new Nubs I bought last summer....who I really wasn't looking to get rid of.

I still owe one of my customers (Tom) 2 'dairy' doelings.

So I traded my friend Tally, plus $50.00, for the 2 bred does, and the buck they're bred to is a good Nubian. I think that was a good trade.....

The bargain I made w/ Tom was "2 milk-breed doelings" for $300.00 total.
The PLAN was for Dazzle or Missy (Togg) - since they're "Americans" (instead of Purebreds) to have girls and he'd get 2.

The back up plan was that he'd get 2 Purebred does at one heck of a good price out of Risque.

HAHAHAHHA...then well, we all know how we're having a Buck Year x eleventy billion here.

So I was either going to have to give Tom back $200.00 or....spit out some doelings myself.

(Couldn't give him doelings out of the 2 new Nubians when they kid, I'm planning to keep them for breeding stock....plus they're 'worth' more than $150.00 ea, if their udders are as nice as their pedigrees say they should be....)

I'm going to see if Tom wants one of these LaManchas (bred), in exchange for the $200.00 he's put toward the 2 doelings.
Or he /we can wait til they kid and see if there are 2 doelings.
Or he can have his money back.

And I'm stuck w/ 2 new does and their offspring come March 24th.

It's a crappy pic, but it's all I have, the camera batteries were apparently 'thisclose' to dead when I got to the barn so it quit after one shot.
One's brown / white, the other's solid black.

In other news.... I've had 4-5 calls for Nubian does / doelings TODAY ALONE. It's like suddenly everyone wants female Nubians.

HA HA. SO DO I.

I got a nice thank you card and a gift card today from the friend who's goat we had to put down last weekend while she was out of town. The gift card is for WAYYY too much....trying to figure out how to give it back somehow....

I bought a thank-you card to send to the friends who made the table / goat cut out for me. DH and I spent 30 minutes trying to find a really nice card that said what we wanted it to. The fact that you can find cards w/ big boobs and musical jibberish all over, but a tasteful thank you card is scarce...says a lot about our society today. Don't get me wrong, I love a funny joke card....it was ridiculous though how many just plain stupid cards there were.

Ellie's kids are now sold, and one of Risque's boys is too....

DH gave away his 'evil bunny' today. She growled when he got into her cage so he was afraid of her....

Go ahead and laugh...I did. Big tough guy scared of a wee bunny.

I think that's everything.

PS....I hadn't mentioned the LaManchas b/c I wasn't sure I was getting them until yesterday.....after I saw Ellie's kids.

What is WRONG with NO EARS, I ask you? OK, so they are chocolate goats (one just happens to be dark chocolate and the other is light chocolate with white chocolate in the middle) and someone left them out in the sun too long. But that isn't the goat's fault. They are very cute! Now they have virtual ears. REMEMBER this IS THE internet. It's a virtual environment.

 

[that's*satyrical]

Oh my, my head is spinning trying to follow that last post... lol

 

[SuburbanFarmChic]

Yep. She has GAS. I must too because that explanation sounded TOTALLY logical to me.


It actually does make sense. I think it's better to be able to give somebody options and show them that you tried than to just cancel the sale.

Well there is his problem! If only he didn't climb into the bunnies cage, he'd be all set.

I knew you have a logical explanation for everything.
