By the weekend, I will be at LEAST 70 birds lighter!!!

I have a lady and a guy coming for 10 pullets tomorrow

and two people on Wednesday coming for another 18

AND

I just sent THIRTY roosters to the auction



AND I sold 3 goat kids today


Whew!

I can feel the feed bill going down already!!

Wow, and I was impressed at getting rid of 9 roos! Way to go!!! You won't know what to do with all that money you'll be saving...unless you are doing more building?

Well that stinks! I was mowing an trimming agan. 82* here and lovely!! There were more bugs out today that need to go; I almost hope for one more good, hard frost to get rid of these pests! Hornets are out in force already, as are ticks, flies, and BOT FLIES!!? I don't ever remember seeing them this early! Hope to get into the garden spot tomorrow and till!
