That is the one. If you want different cuts we can arrange that since I have 3 in the freezer(s) counting this one.

I haven't posted any pictures of my two favorites in awhile so I took the camera out while I was doing my evening time with them. I had built a platform for Maisy's bowl since she doesn't like to eat from a bowl when it is on the ground but she decided to compromise and lay down while eating. 
Maisy is my angel but Thor is turning into a good boy. He has a love/hate thing going on with the ram but it's all noise from both of them so I stay out of it (usually). Thor was a year old in July so he is getting close to being a mature one but a ways to go still. I got an email from an old friend that lives in the city and sees our posts on Facebook. He was wondering how I could stand having animals so close to the house? Our paddocks are as close to our house on two sides as is shown in these pictures. I don't know what I would do if we had more acreage since if I look out the windows and can't see my critters, I jump on the Polaris and go look.

White doggies! Is that Thor's favorite spot or does it just look like he's worn a spot in the grass?

That worn spot is slab rock but it stays cool for him that time of day. That's our evening spot - I don't feed till around 6:00 so they aren't panting when trying to eat. That's also when Maisy lets me use the grooming brush on her while she's laying down. It takes her about a half hour to eat if I'm brushing her but it gives me time to get the mats out.
That looks awesome Mike; the dogs, the yard, the house, the lamb meat, just everything! I'm fine with it butchered the way it is. If you'd like to try one (or two) of those neck steaks between you and your wife, please feel free to do so. You can sub in some stew or ground lamb to replace from your stock. I'm thinking Saturday the 8th of Sept to come visit if that works for you and @Rammy as I believe she said she has Saturdays off. Hope she can make it for a visit at the same time.
I couldn't imagine having my goats out of visual range. I'm generally by a window (even at night) and routinely look out to see where they are and what they're doing. If I can't see them, I go outside to make sure all is well.

That is one of 4 days out of 365 that we have a problem with. 
Teresa is flying to Charleston to see family and bring back one of the Grandsons. She leaves the 5th and I will be picking her up at the Nashville airport mid afternoon on the 8th.

We are good if it works for Joe.
OK then, so Saturday the 15th of September? That works for me (as far as I know right now). Looked at google maps and it's looking like 530+ miles and 8+ hours drive for me, so I expect I'll be getting there late afternoon... say 3-4pm. Won't be able to stay more than a few hours then back on the road to return. Awesome! 
Looking forward to meeting!

OK, so I know there are all sorts of other issues regarding @CntryBoy777 but maybe? perhaps? 
Fred can make the trip that day and visit with us as well? Hope you don't mind me turning my visit into a BYH gathering at your place/expense Mike... 
What do you think Fred? Could you and Joyce make a day trip? I know you have a whole lot going on with your life situation there...
