    True. Barely tolerable. It is a poop show. Even the Ag reserve (we ARE the animals/zoo exhibit on the reserve in their minds). We, backwards, primitive freaks on the ag reserve.

    Ugh. A while back our gray barn cats disappeared. I guess they ran out of rats and left and these cats specialized in big rats and rabbits. Just got a random call today. Somebody found them about a mile away across fields. They're alive, one is domesticated again. And the humans will probably...

    Back to jail. He's not sorry. I may already have a replacement for him. Someone was selling a more laid back buck. His pedigree is more diverse, but his sire is Rockin CB and the dam is welshan acres and Jen mae ka kids, with some Lucky*Star's, but most of all a known laid back temperament...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Good morning. Non coffee drinker in a coffee free household, but last night was late and it looks like there's a storm coming in so there will probably be caffeine later. A fall kidding season of 5 does coming in fast and furious is today's fare. Three out of five done with the fourth working on...

    This just in, d'uccles are pigeon sized bullies. Four year old Shaun's pint sized meanies might just get their own coop.

    Sorry about the messy table. 5 people in one little house with a really small kitchen/dining/entryway area equates to a mess all the time no matter what I do.

    Thanks. That's the idea. Those are especially fat and spoiled because they were kept dry yearlings but I do kind of want everyone a little fat an spoiled. They have farther to fall body condition-wise if something does happen. My emaciated doe, Elsa, that I brought back is starting to drop a...

    Ff udders coming in. This is the froot loopy one, can't you tell? I just tried to kill her with my phone camera. She saw terrible things and all. Her life went flashing before her eyes. Not sure how this is going to go considering she's already permanently traumatized.

    We sold enough hay that I could bring in 200 new bales from a different producer, rest of old hay is up on top of round bales and I'm making them eat it. Poor hay producer had his help bail on him and the bales are about 70 lbs each so he about killed himself off unloading with the one guy he...

    How to beat Pervert Pepper without a stun gun. (Sorry, today is a puffy hands day) Enough of me trying to ply his beating tongue with cookies and dramatically turns away. Apparently that's not what he wants...A cookie is just not a doe booty. He can't believe I don't understand that. And if i...

    Thankfully I don't think we have to. We just have to work with the govt and pay them money (and call it pet milk and tell people it will kill them on the label).

    Yeah, here too. No herdshares allowed and you need a pet milk license with bacterial testing.

    I've made goat butter before. Nobody but me likes it and that's deliciously dangerous. I do not need those calories. I have a neighbor that can milk for me if I need to leave town...although Summer senses weakness and has her for breakfast so I'll try to avoid it. I'll also have however many of...

    Well, Emmi, aka, my beautiful dumptruck cycled, no assistance needed. She's milking through much to her dismay. I suspect Summer is also about to cycle because she started a war with one of the dry yearlings and didn't want to come in to milk this morning. She is also slotted for a milk through...

    Pepper got his last two ladies last night and Polaris the mini got one more too. Now we wait, both for recycles and the ND.
