We had both a good Red class and a good NH class at the show.

We have a couple of things in the works with a few different breed clubs for our show next year. If it all gets worked out, we could easily double the Bantams and triple the Large Fowl entries for next year. We were talking this morning.....we might need to buy some coops!!!!

Chris

Hey that's good Chris I hope to have a couple of good ones (NHs) by then next year i'm in the process of a major change up around this joint and get my rump in gear on these things I've studied them for three years now and figure I have a god grip on where I need to go forward with them My NHs that is i have a longer way to go on the Reds, Rocks and the Columbians still yet, one step at a time LOL

Way to go on the WIN!!! and see you next year -- we'll give Chris a run for his money, lol!!!

Thanks Terri it was a hard fought one for sure, yeah I hope so on the show birds too I got the NHs down pretty well pat now I'm gonna have to concentrate on the others some more now to get them better, but that's what makes it all worth it, just the same as the racecars too.

Here are a few feathered friends at the show.

The Call ducks were really cute and sounded unusual.

New, or re-new to this thread. Kunrtygurl, my wife & I were discussing Thanksgiving plans yesterday, and I said I wanted to try a goose this year! Also, I took  a look at your webpage and would like to talk with you about processing different birds.

Scott LeJeune

Sounds good. You can either call me or we can talk thru PM. Just let me know.

If you try goose, please let me know. I would like to know what it tastes like. I wonder if it taste like duck.

Good morning Layers. I think I rested so much this weekend, I may have bed sores.

It was a beautiful weekend this weekend. I wish it could be that way all the time. Although I did get some much needed rest in, I was still able to squeeze in a few other chores. This weekend I was able to clean the chicken house and replace all of the bedding. The girls really enjoy when they get fresh hay. With the price of hay so high these days, I was lucky to find a guy who bails his own hay and he sells it for $3.00 a square bale as opposed to the $7.50 bale of hay that is sold in the feed stores. With winter coming, I'll have to stock up. I bought 2 bales so that I could divide it up and look through it to make sure that they hay was good. The last bales of hay that I bought from a lady sworn to me she had the best hay this side of the Texas border. HOW WRONG SHE WAS! When I opened up the hay, there were sticks, twigs and all kinda other crap in there. I had to call her to let her know, so that she could stop bragging on her hay. She offered more bales of hay to replace the ones that she sold me. SERIOUSLY? More hay with twigs and sticks and crap in it? I think NOT! This guys hay looked PERFECT! I was very satisfied. The sheep and the goat tore it up, so if they are happy with the hay, then I am.

Got a call from a lady that said a deer was in her yard. Someone had hit it and broke it's leg and back. I felt so sorry for the deer. It was suffering and making loud noises. Processing the deer was a job.

My favorite store of all had a great clearance sale. I was able to get 11 cups of the Oikos yogurt for $0.25. I also bought a box of 8 cups of Yoplait yogurt for $2.00. Total price was $5.02 with tax. Looks like I"ll be having smoothies for a while.

A co-worker brought me a bag of bananas this morning that she had bought but the bananas had split open a bit and she didn't want them. I don't know why because they were still good.

The sheep seemed to enjoy the sweet potatoes that the veggie man bough for them. That's my first time seeing them eat sweet potatoes. Who knew.

Make it a great day ya'll

Happy Veteran's Day !!!!!!!!!

There's a guy in your area, a Mr. Lanclos (not sure if I got the spelling right)? My husband was in your area a couple of weeks ago for his hay. It's BEAUTIFUL! We've made two big hay hauls and hopefully it will hold us over for a while. I'll have to try and post the trailer picture, so that you can appreciate the "haul".

I"m not sure what this guy's name is but his hay was beautiful as well. I would love to see a pic of the trailer so that I can be so jealous.

You must try the recipe I posted last night!!! It is amazing, and you would never guess by the amazing taste that is it relatively healthy!!!!!!

Suoooooo........I made the GF cake mix and tried a modified version of that recipe.

HOLY CAKE CRUMBS BATMAN!!!  These people are digging in!  I told my oldest she could taste it (it was still hot).....that was MORE than a TASTE she took!!!  Lol!!!  Its like a cross between Pumpkin pie, Pralines and Pumpkin cake.  Yummy, yummy!

The hay haul.

We had two hauls just like this one. We were able to use our neighbors bobcat to offload the hay from the trailer, but then had to break down the square bales and hand load them into the stall for storage. It was BACK BREAKING work!!! The round bales we store in a barn and move to the horse's run in sheds when needed. The round bales are the same hay as the square...just beautiful! Each trailer had 8 round bales and 16 pallets of square bales.
