200 > 124, so yes it certainly sounds further. You all should convert back to miles!

:th....:tongue
In all seriousness, I think of distance in miles if I'm actually experiencing the distance in person. Our land is measured and mapped in miles, I can physically count it out if I'm finding someone's house. And plus I'm a farmer. I talk sections and bushels, not hectares and tonnes. :sick

But with speed and clocked distances...I think in kms. The metric system caught me partway in school so I "technically" use both. :wee

You will think we are monsters if a showed you a pic inside one of our freezers.
We breed to feed. We re-home offspring to take care of the expenses. NOBODY WANTS A ROOSTER!. When we do get a call for a roo, they want to pay no more than $5! My husband tells them the Bird is 4 months old, a single bag of feed costs $14 and a bag doesn't last 4 months! If he is in a cruddy mood he tells them you might as well take the rest of his money from his wallet while they are at it!
He has culinary arts training and doesn't flinch or hesitate to prep a roo. I just enjoy his cooking and don't hang around for the dirty work..

Can barely get 5 bucks for 10 month old hens here.

No way nothing 10 months old leaves this farm for less than $25!, when my dearest hubby can make this again and again..
:)
We look at it as...
They = 2 bags of feed ($12.50 is our local price)
If we sell for less, it's because they are buying 10 or more.
Hub points at the freezers in the barn/shop when hagglers and tire kickers push his buttons.
We aren't desperate to sell. Just desperate for freezer space because we just dropped off two 300# hogs at our butcher!
"$5.00" oh my. I am glad my man is not here to hop on his soapbox :old and give us the speach..:lau

:lol: I was selling mostly bantams. I'd get a half sandwich of meat and a teeny bit of stock at most. Not really worth a life when I can get the five bucks for them and they can continue on for a few more years in a good home.

They were laying well enough to pull their weight, I just plain had too many birds...

Your hubby really does sound like a character. He have time enough to jump on BYC for a sec and give us a lecture on photography and economics, lol?
