    Coffee anyone ?

    Warm start 46, going to 57+ Just finished morning feed chores. Lugging 100# of hay is not getting any easier from experience! Nope, still a hefty cuss to do. Then 25# of feed, fighting goats. Now -- off to work. 🫤 Coffee in hand! 😊

    Coffee anyone ?

    I was canning last night, so now have 14 pints of chicken breast covering a counter top. I'll leave it for about a week...recheck seals, then to pantry. Caught a sale I couldn't refuse and we all know grocery prices are going up. 😞 Garden will be important this year. So many empty canning...

    You said lamb was "cleaned up" well. So she may have cleaned up the placenta, too. 🤷 If retained shed prob be showing some spicy signs by now. I'd keep her in a few more days to be sure.

    Nubian vs Mini Nubian

    Minis. Go back to breeder and ask for a full sized doe, at a very reduced price, since she sold these as full and are not. If she's worth her word, she'll help you out. They can still breed the full size does -- on occasion the height difference can be a issue but, the generally figure it...

    Coffee anyone ?

    ??? Really? My mother was told to decaf -- due to meds -- but actually it's been found that coffee has many healthy benefits. So a lot of decaf instructions have waned, unless counter active for some drugs. They might want to look harder at slowing the drugs!

    Coffee anyone ?

    Rains coming today. Reporters say we need it, suppose so but, not in total agreement. It's coming anyway. Only 3/4" but all day so it'll be heavy sprinkles for hours! 😵‍💫 Chores done. Guess it's inside for today. Laundry done up yesterday -- leaves the dreaded "cleaning"... Or a nice nap 🤫

    It gets the job done!! Used & free are perfect. Another re-purposer here. I've had some successes at various auctions where the bldg materials weren't an item many bidders wanted....obviously not farm auctions 😂 Barn clean outs to garden....I never need to buy fertilizers. Save seeds...
