Sorry, just a bit of a filler post today. Little updates on things going on here lately but no real subject.Jetta hasn't found that perfect new home just yet, but had someone come look at her today. She did wonderful, behaved beautifully. I was proud of her. The lady then told me she wanted something bigger. Really lady . . . 11 hands is 11 hands. SMALL. But fine, she left, and then called me back later and offered me HALF the asking price.
What a lunatic. Offering half the asking price isn't going to make the pony BIGGER. I politely thanked her and hung up. What a cow.
All the goats are going into RAGING heat. They're driving me crazy! Thank goodness I'm bringing the buck in either at the end of this week or next week. I am borrowing a lovely black and white, polled, fainter (myotonic) buck from a good friend. I had originally planned on breeding back to Blizzard (now owned by Udderly Country Farm) but when I realized how bad this drought was, and watching beef prices rise, I made the decision to breed to a meat buck instead.
I will be holding back several wethers to fill my freezers. At the request of some friends, I'll also be documenting the entire thing, from conception, to birth, growing, to death, butchering, and being cooked. The life of a meat goat from start to finish. Hopefully you guys will enjoy that.
Still hunting for hay, and there's more information about that and some things that relate to it that I'll be posting about at a later date. It deserves it's own post.
I suppose that's all I have for now. Keep checking back, stuff is sure to pick up here soon, with breeding season so close.
