The people down the street from me are selling their cattle. In the two years they've had them, they've always been on a dry lot. What do you think, should I get them?

Haha that would actually be an interesting cross! And Bridge lol I know--for $1500 I could buy 5-8 ewes!

Well I will be going to the Big Apple on Thursday. My grandmother, mom, aunt, cousin, and I are driving up there and meeting two other aunts and two cousins there (they are flying because they're coming from NC and FL). It's a girls weekend full of shopping, touristy stuff, and a lot of fun! :) We've been planning this since Thanksgiving so it is very much anticipated! It will be my first time in NYC, and I think only the third or 4th "major" city I've been to. I've been to Toronto, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Oh and Washington, D.C. of course lol. I go there multiple times a year. So I guess it's like the 5th one. But definitely the largest one!

My mom works at a major hotel chain's HQ so we get an employee discount for our hotel. Eight of us (4 aunts and 4 granddaughters) are covering our grandmother's hotel room. She's gotta pay for everything else, though :p But we are staying at a hotel right in Times Square and for three nights, my portion (plus part of my grandmother's) is $120, which isn't bad at all. I have this paycheck & my last paycheck saved for this trip. I just hope I don't spend it all! My cousin who lives in Rockville has recently gotten into name brand fashion; she's a waitress and gets REALLY good tips (like $200+/day) so she can afford all that stuff. $200 to me is like not even one week's worth of pay!! haha. But she's excited to be going to all of those designer stores and spending lots of money lol. She told me she wants to buy a $200 pair of sunglasses :ep I told her I would buy a $200 sheep. :plbb

But I'm so excited and will be taking a bunch of pictures!

Enjoy your trip!

I am the same way. When someone says how much they paid for something, I think how much I had to wrok to get that and what I woudl rather have bought- like new goats. Or muck boots, or some nice quilted overalls.

Have a blast today in NYC! As you probably know, I missed out on my NYC shopping trip because of baby goats :/ So shop for me! Hint: There are no farm stores in NYC. I'm not sure what you'll end up buying! You just might have money left over for some sheeps! :D

I saw those and was begging my husband.... He said no though. Pooy head. Doesn't he know we NEED big fuzzy cooos. They're highlands so you can't call them cows.
