Of all things!!! My Chickee got t play on th freeway! Lol. The reason was unfortunate though. A semi carrying a load of Piglets rolled over. There were piglets running everywhere! Of course there were several not so fortunate t b able t run around but you couldn't help but laugh at the State Police officers and animal control staff trying t catch them. The driver had a little road rash on his shoulder but other than that it wasn't too bad. So now it will b 11 before I get t th campgrounds. Ugh!!!!

Did you snag a piglet for yourself? I would have been tempted.

+1

I'd have grabbed as many as I could put in the bed of my pickup.

While I was at RK tonight I found a goat owner to help with some stuff. He said pigs were cleaner than goats. Now I don't want a pig this year but I'm in the grandfathered area of Bargersville so I'm really considering it soon before that grandfather period is up and what ever kind of animals I have is all I'm allowed.

Better get at least 1 of each animal you are contemplating and hang on to them for a year or so.

If I get my shirt soon enough... I'll wear if if I go to the Elkhart County 4h fair. So if you're at the fair and see the shirt....

And I was thinking that when y'all go to fairs you should wear yours. Never know who might be there and recognize you by your shirt.

Great idea! Our fair is about over but I'll have to remember mine for the state fair!

You did an amazing job on this! I think it is excellently argued. I'm not a resident of Indianapolis, or I'd be right there with you. I am, however, a weaver (would LOVE to have alpacas, but don't have the right space). And one thing you could add to your critique of the limit on alpaca numbers is that they come in many colors, useful if you would like to use natural fibers that have not been dyed, and thus people who keep them for this purpose may need to have more than two of them so that they can supply the variety of colors that allow for creative use of this wonderful fiber.

Very good point - I already sent my comments in, BUT I highly doubt this is the end, we possibly have 2 legislative commitees to let know how we feel so I will add that in. It would be great if it fizzles out with the first commitee and goes no farther! The problem will be that it is a very long rezoning document and agricultural issues are only a small portion, so unless there is a large grass roots movement across the board, for every topic, everyone may need to give in a little.

I have two guineas I bought at rural king this spring I'd like to sell if anyone is interested. I have no idea if they're boys or girls though.

I'll probably have some pullets and or hens available soon too.
