My life has been a little crazy but I am back!

I have settled into Spokane quite nicely. I am staying in a basic suite hotel courtesy of my employer. I have about three months on their dime so I will take advantage of it. Work has been long hours. Its nice to be challenged though.

Back on the farm things are going well. We had a new doeling born Valentines day. There should be two more kids born this month. We pick up the new buck in about six weeks. At that time I will sell the three bucklings we have. I am also posting for sale two of our does that are now too low a percentage dairy goat. They are 1-2 months pregnant to Chabi.

The pigs are growing well. We finished the renovations on the old tankals so now we have 4 extra pens to house pigs. This gives us 9 pens. That will be enough for a while.

I made an error with the heater location on the new incubator and burnt out the 8” fan when we tested it so I need a new fan. I may use a bathroom exhaust fan that I can get locally.

We are still selling every bird we can hatch.

We have a new dog on the farm. Bruno is a pug cross beagle. An aunt could no longer care for him. The kids adore him and he takes the pressure off Hector who tolerates but is not keen on kids antics.

Welcome all noobs.

I will try and be more engaged now I am settling,

Now its off to Supercuts for a much need haircut!
