I don't know a lot about it other than it is home to Tennessee Technical University which is a huge school. Most of the downtown area is tied to the University in one form or another. Even the Ag Center where we had the sale today is theirs. Like any place else it has it's bad parts but overall it looked well kept and the rural area like most places in Tennessee are kept neat unless you get a neighbor like I have.
Thank you for the info...sounds a little too busyfor me

We registered as a buyer but every one that I might have considered can be bought at the respective farms for a lot less dollars. We didn't take the truck but we had enough friends there that they would have transported for us if we got the urge.

Mike, do you think that you and Teresa might take some to the sale next year?

No doubt. Our herd is about as good as it gets and we are going to Record several of the ewes that were born this year plus the registered ewes are as good as any that were there. Every time I go out with them I just smile.
Edit to add We got the fecals done that we last did and the garlic is showing a reduction in eggs for the last 3 cycles. We have a bunch of ewes that have never needed worming and only have gotten garlic. I wouldn't claim that to be scientific but it works for us.

As nice as your flock is, maybe you and Teresa could sell the top ram and top ewe!
That is great on the garlic. Y'all have worked hard to bring your flock to where it is. Me and Ringo are on our way!

We are a whole lot of years away from having a ram like we saw yesterday. Our sheep are nice but some of those were there yesterday are in a whole different world.

It was standing room only and where we were sitting didn't work for pictures. This ram is the one that went for $2800 and unfortunately, the picture doesn't do him justice.
