FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

LOL he was looking up "mini" LaMancha. He said, I like this idea! I said oh lord. He's getting really into it, even taken into looking up bloodlines so when I'm talking goats with my goaties he knows what we're talking about. I still have a hard time with linear appraisals and how they're read, but, the bloodlines I can track. I know good goats when I see them, and one day we will have a pasture full I'm sure.

Remember the totes I got for my anniversary? I painted them with our logo. Someone said it looks like George Washington's wig. Now I can't unsee it!

I'm still proud of this. This was one of the last things we loaded, it's hanging in where the goats will be riding tomorrow. They'll get to eat out of the bag made just for them!

I filled it with coastal and the other one with Sudan.

They seem to prefer the Sudan so far. I may have to get more, only bought three bales when I picked up alfalfa and they are really going to town on it. Hardly any wasted hay around the feeders.

I introduced it in the hay feeder we made the other day, as well as in the feeders we have spread around the pen. (My Queens share the title, but not the takings ) The other goats weren't getting any hay, so, this was created to give them less area to fight over. It's working well so far. Prudence and Zinnia have taken this over so we plan on building more.

Ok I really need to try and sleep, but I'm so darned excited and nervous about the state fair I just can't wind down.

Hope it goes well!
Soooooo cute!

Real men LET goat babies in the house!

You got a good one K!

Start your minis with your best stock.

Isn't he?!

We plan on starting our mini's with our FF does. He's got plenty of time to mature anyways.

So we're four hours late to hitting the road.

Over slept.

At least check in is until 4p.

Oh boy... It'll be ok. It's been a long time since I showed there, but they were pretty efficient at getting folks checked in. Best of luck and have a great time!

Well we got checked in. Got the goats shoved in one pen, off to get shavings and a few other things.

I can NOT find my way in Dallas.

I have GREAT empathy for you not finding you way around Dallas. I can't find my way around Dallas and I lived there for four years. You are down at Fair Park, right? Watch out, one wrong turn getting out of there and you find yourself in a not very nice neighborhood.

A little late Mom!

Have a great show.
