***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[mjgigax]

Wow what a lovely day outside...DH and I walked our property to look for any ice storm or flood damage and it was sooooo gorgeous out there! I always want to linger out there longer than I should. I love the forested areas on our land. So inviting! Fortunately we seem to have been spared all but the occasional downed limb...and all very minor at that. Hooray!
Earlier in the day we went to a new grocery store called Uptown Market in Edmond. I didnt know what to expect but it was really nice! It gives Whole Foods a run for its money to be sure! At least it seemed like it to me as I had to stare at the mushroom section...holy cow they had some there I had never heard of before! I know...I know...I am easily entertained...

i splurged on $20.00/lb. Parmesan cheese at Whole Foods for my Birthday last week. Such good flavor makes me wish I could have a 50th Birthday every week

...

Checked with Sky Shivers...he has sold all his Kikos goats. but he said there is a lady in Prague that has advertised on Craigslist in the past week selling her doelings " that really has nice stock in Kikos".

Carl and Stephanie came out today to help me pick breeders from this years juveniles. Really appreciate the assistance especially since the Columbians are from his original line. Also learned a lot about the finer points. Also looked over the Cochins and selected some to keep. I'm limiting myself to a few breeders and will be selling the rest.
Will begin prepping boxes for transporting birds to POOPS and that can be used for sale cartons for the Auction at NewCastle....I really am bringing a boatload of birds![/quote

MJ - I get parmesan at the commissary most of the time. Also blue & feta cheeses I used to buy at Sprouts are at Sams Club-- much cheaper (half price or greater). I do love Sprouts for produce, best prices & selection usually, plus all GF products are labeled. I will be checking out the new grocery store in Edmond soon.

I saw the Kiko add-- think this may be their site http://www.3creekskikos.com/default.html
Right now we have 15 goats, 8 are kids. One doe left to kid, so expecting it to be 17 goats soon!!! Oh my, hope there is goat math! I know we have a weather that I want to rehome soon, Taron insist he is a pet not a dinner. Her emotions make goat farming hard!
Is Carl & Steph coming to Poops?

Jcat,
I am undecided at this point, although it would be nice to see everyone again between myself and stephanie's work schedules and the kids it is getting tough to make time. We both took a day of vacation today because we had not really seen each other in a few weeks.

I used to get goo Parm at the Commisary but they
Didn't have any for a while. I Love cheese but the calories! That aged Parmesan has such rich flavor that I get my cheese "fix" with just a little of that.
Ianded in Michigan at 11:00 pm Oklahoma time, rented a car and got to the farm at 2:00 Michigan time. Took a 4 hr nap this afternoon.
I will be here a week. DH has chicken chores at home. I am going to owe him.

Totally understand! DH work schedule is brutal too! If you don't make it at least know we are all missing you & your wisdom!

My Nubian finally kidded!!! Found them at lunch, looking out the window & mom was nursing 2 kids! The one with white is a bucking & other doe. Dad is a red boer.






We only have 1 more doe left to kid. Baby goats sure are cute & so much fun!!!!

Congrats. Would love to have some ourselves running around. Maybe not as many as you.

JCat, have u tried the new Sprouts in Norman.

Had the 1st chick of the year born. Looks like LF Cochin to me.

 

[jcatblum]

Haven't been to the sprouts in Norman yet. Is it better than the one in OKC? I always have to be at Baptist for doctors apt & 63rd & May is only a few min away.

Heartsforanimals I am sure Victoria will have some goats of her own very soon! I heard the auction in Yukon even has goats.......
