I love my vacuum sealer!

There are a lot of people with sheep now and they undercut their own selves. They don’t know enough to take culls to auction, especially if they are registered. They either sell way too cheap or try to get top price on everything instead selling the best, take rest to auction.

You nailed it!
Me - I mostly go to auction with mine - one and done. I do have people come to me and I just give a price and no bartering. So far it works for me. Fingers crossed I can keep working this way.

We have a cactus plant that we have had for a couple of years that finally has a bloom on it.

That’s beautiful!

We got our check from the sale and we are happy. Jack the ram did sell as a ram and actually brought more than we were asking off the farm. They were all choice or prime and came in very well.

I'm glad that I posted that picture of the cactus flower when I did. It has already closed up and looks ready to fall off.

You timed it just right!

Funny about ram price. A person asked about a goat buck, I priced. He wanted to think on it. Fine. 2 months later I took it to auction, getting $100 more than offered to him! It was a really nice boy but we can't keep everyone.

Looking at my current lineup I'm thinking Squeaker will need to move on soon. Sad because he's giving 85% doeling. However, I have an unrelated dappled buckling by the buck sold. He's a tank and dappled on both sides -- so lots of color that always sells well. We move on!
