[Lazy Farmer]

I'm wicked excited.

Are you bubbles or wicked?

He won't have some of the parasite problems up there that we have, but you will have to have good shelter for them they don't do well with wet at all.

Well I'm excited for you. Goats are a lot of fun they're work because they're more delicate than people think, but they're a lot of fun and they've been great for my pasture management. Aside from the fact I just love them. Big pets.

Hopefully only having two will mean I don't have to pull too many all nighters nursing them after they do the latest suicide attempt. I have a feeling I am going to have my goat friend on speed dial for a while.

Went to grab a handful of newly grown pasture grass for the smaller piggies for a distraction cast, and a caterpillar was crimped up in my hand. First it felt like I grabbed a pile of glass. Then it felt like my hand was on fire. My hand turned bright pink in a speckled pattern. I ran to a water hose and the water did diddly squat. Had to finish all my chores before the hard rain comes back. That distracted me from the pain. Now that I'm done, I soaked my hand in ice water and globbed a ton of cortisone 10 on it.
Having an allergic reaction. My veins were turning dark. I just took some benidryl. sucky morning.. raining again. BUTTERFLYS SUCK.

Oh no!

Are you bubbles or wicked?

You'll never know.

I think the goat shed is pretty snug/dry. I plan to make flip down window covers for when it's scheduled to rain like crazy. There's still soffit ventilation at the top.

I was just reading about how it increased hatch rates tremendously , so much so that it's patented. I'm still going to err on the side of caution, I believe and not do it.

As long as my eggs are fertile, and the kids didn't throw them around too much - I have near 100% hatch rate. Shipped eggs are iffy to begin with, because of transit damage.

Has sort of a sexy ring to it, don't you think?

Sounds like a street name.

Nah...thinking more of an Old West saloon
Hey! Better than a street name, ain't it?
