Very shiny!

Shiny? I don’t know that meaning

Marie, I don’t think you ever told me the breed of the one that looks like a brown barred rock… unless I forgot?

She's a mixed small girl and I really don't know I'm sad to say

I assume it means glossy as is a sheen

I’m setting up a special bank account just to take care of Chaco. She’s going to need as much care as my chickens do. I’m going back there today to get her a checkup with the local bovine veterinarian. Does horses too.

One day, I might even get a good nights sleep! But I really haven’t for months. Way too much going on in my brain

Hi everyone! Great news, the house is scheduled to be closed in at the end of September. We’ve had some ups and downs here, but I’ve gotten a cell signal booster and can get back online a bit again. I just have to rewire things a bit for 12V. Still on our big to do list, the trailer: installing the diesel heater for winter, refurbishing the toilet and bathroom for winter, and requiring our solar system and replacing our batteries.

Arduinna gave me a huge scare, a week ago she broke out of her crate while I was out putting up the chickens, and ate a Remembrance Day poppy! I just finally found the pin today, with my foot, and have never been so thankful to step on a sharp object. She should be getting a domestic Sangeen (milk breed) boyfriend in December, and hopefully another doe friend. So a temporary under the tow pin of the 5th goat barn is also in the works (I’m still stockpiling my pallets, but have a rough design now).

Also, I’ve had quite a few broodies hatching out chicks, including a second round by all my first broodies to hatch out babies. One of which manages to set under my trusses, safe from the humans, but not from the mink or raccoons. Three weeks of worry over predators and she finally hatched out 11!!! Chicks. Getting them all out from the trusses was an adventure in gymnastics and through stinging nettle, but she’s safely set up now with all here babes in a meat tractor.

Apparently I still need to get a WiFi connection to upload pics though… sorry

Great to hear from you Kris and wonderful news about the house.

Do you still plan to park the trailer in the garage over winter?(Or maybe I misunderstood)
It would be extra insulation from the weather if it fits!

Wait, you have a Flash, too? I missed that. Here is my Flash:

I don't know if I've said this before micstrachan, but I love your garden!

I soon as I read this I thought of Mushu in "Mulan"

"Dishonor. Dishonor on your whole family. Dishonor on you. Dishonor on your cow..."
