Not me. I don't want to get on her bad side.

He could just come here for the time being and come back if you want to make use of him...could see what he can do here while Keigh makes his mark there!

I know, right...Not me. I don't want to get on her bad side.
LOL I may use him over one of my LM's for 1st gen mini's ... if he can do the job. He's pretty young.

Well, where to begin?
So much has happened over the course of the year it is a bit crazy!
I am hoping to make different posts about all the different events, adventures, new things learned (and still learning).
Some things I have briefly mentioned here and there but maybe not with much detail.
I am going to list some of the things in hopes of being able to have to the time and come back and share about each one. If I don't "write" it down I will forget. LOL
~ breeding yearlings
~ Lilly's leg injury (debating whether or not to post pics- pretty graphic)
~ Fat: Protein inversion
~ Milk test (MUN levels, SCC, P/F, and all the things no one tells you![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")
hopefully it will spare another from mistakes we made)
~ breeding dilemmas
~ overload!
~ mineral analysis
~ diet (goats not me... I'm skinny- I don't diet
)
~ people & 
& 
& 
~ cancelling LA
~ Hay dilemmas
Meanwhile we have some shows coming up. Can't say I am looking too forward to them... I mean I am but at the same time I really have so much on my plate and our clippers broke.
Little DD loves going and has so much fun so that makes me happy. GW always likes going needless to say. DS and I make a great team when they are gone so it is all good, he and I have so much fun because we cut up and make it fun. Plus I will finally get the last of the goats weaned... I have to wean when GW is gone because she won't wean anything.
We have decided to sell one of our Lamancha bucks. Actually we sold one and are selling another. You all know how much I love my bucks. Hard for me to do but I have to. No sense in keeping a buck with great genetics that I am not using.
We just listed Taipan he is such a sweetheart. It will be so sad to see him go. He is 2 years old. Such a good baby boy. He has a great pedigree but we used Black Tie Affair last year and have decided to repeat most of the breedings this year. I fear we listed him too low though. As I type this maybe I should change my mind. Maybe I shouldn't sell him. He knows us, we know him.

We are also probably going to list a few does after the State Fair is over. Undecided but we might. I am a bit concerned about going through the winter with as many goats as we have. It isn't the cost or feed it is because hay issues have been very real this year and that is scary to think what would happen in the winter if we end up with hay issues. Also if it is an extremely wet winter it will be too much for us to do here.
I know the Lord has this and will direct us to where we are to go when the time is His and it is where He wants us.
Meanwhile I am doing what I need to as far as prepping and working on house and property. LOL one would not really be able to see the evidence of that because it is a mess here... but it is all the stuff that needs done but isn't always visible. The attics are both done. I have been working on the property in sections. The apartment and office are done as well. The warehouse... I'll cry if I think about it... so I won't. Painting will wait a few months... probably in November.
Before I sign off I just want to say that I have met some really amazing people through this forum. My life has been enriched and blessed by so many. I know I have been very absent but I do think about so many of you. It has been such a great joyfilled experience to watch dreams come true, lives changed, new beginnings for many. There has also been sadness. Sickness, death, loss, struggles. The family like community here you really can't get on FB with one liners.

Hang in there!
I saw Taipan’s ad and I agree that he’s underpriced.
