When you hear that someone was hit by a vehicle, you think it’s just some unfortunate person. You say a prayer for friends and family, and forget about it for the most part.
Totally wasn’t expecting to hear the identity this morning!!

It does not interest you to try it?
How much will a 10 months buck cost?

It isn't really the cost of raising them they would be the problem for me. It's the cost of processing them around here is so high that I just don't do that. It cost over $550 to process my steer. With how high the kill fees and other fees are it just makes the meat too expensive. I'd rather just run them through the sale for money, and eat my steer since I have plenty. But yes, I'd love to have the goat meat if it's anywhere near as good as lamb it would be great.

Brought dog to the vet. Lots of jabber, and then he said goodbye. “What about his vaccines?”
“Is he due for any?”
“Yes. That is why he’s here.”
An hour for one vaccine and a blood test. $28 for his stool sample. Two years ago it was $7

And people wonder why I keep a llama is the guard animal for my goats instead of a dog. Dog vaccines, vet visits, and food is very expensive. Where as the llarma gets the vaccines that the goat due and eats what they eat. Besides living over twenty years.

Then he told me I have to cough up about $600 for a tooth extraction. More if there are numerous cavities or the vet takes longer. Not a word on how to brush dog teeth, or any answers to my questions. Really not a good visit.

What happened to @duluthralphie ? I have not seen him since I got back. Did he fall in a bator, finally get clubbed by his tolerant other half, or did he duck out?

I am not looking forward to tomorrow. It It supposed to start out mild, but then we are supposed to move in to rain sleet ice and snow getting up to 5 inches. It is supposed to be over by Saturday early morning though, and warm up a bit again on Sunday. I really would like a nice dry day so I can move the kids out of the barn.

Hi all, hope you are all doing well.

I have been downsizing in preparation for moving this August. So I was down to 3 hens....but then one went broody so I was like....well, I guess I have time for one last hatch. So I ordered some eggs & stuck some under the broody last night.

DH had the incubator set up & I was all ready to throw the extra eggs in there until we realized the thermometer was missing! So I was freaking out. The only thermometer we could find around the house was a thermo-hygrometer that we had from when we were watching a friend's lizard last week. Apparently it can be off by about 2 degrees. So I decided to wait and see if I could get a thermometer somewhere today, but now I am concerned about a staggered hatch.

Should I wait and set the eggs after I get a better thermometer, or should I just throw them in now so the hatch won't be so staggered? I'd like to give all the chicks to the hen when they hatch.
