***OKIES in the BYC III ***

News Flash:
Just got a memo from the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association In a nutshell:
Governor Fallin has "today signed an executive order allowing haulers of hay to carry larger loads in their trucks." The order is a result of the drought.
"Currently rules restrict haulers of hay to dimensions of 11 feet in width. Governor Fallin's ....order increases those limits to 12 feet. Because standard hay bales is six feet in width, this change doubles the amount of hay bales capable of being hauled per truck without a permit."
"Additionally those vehicles transporting hay to livestock, the order temporarily suspends the requirement for an oversized vehicle permit within those limits."
"The executive order last 60 days."

For us this means some relief in hauling our own hay and for those who are buying hay.
For drivers on the road it means taking more care in hauling and in passing vehicles hauling hay.

I have regular orloffs they are welcome to try and bantamize.

I won't have any hatching eggs until later this year, in winter.

The local co-op had A&M layer pellets once. I liked it because they included animal protein in the ingredients.

That is one thing I like about the Formula 73 and the US Suppliers 17% layer. Both are excellent feeds,

Gary rescued a dumped male puppy, looks like under 6 months, still squats to pee, we can't keep this one already have 3 rescues in town. Here are some pics if anyone is interested. He is really friendly gets along w/ all our dogs big and small, we have no cats right now so not sure what his response to that would be, and we have not introduced him to the chickens since we are not keeping him. He is a very pretty chocolate brown.

Looks mean, but they really are playing.

The brown one not my little traiterous weinie dog.

That is a beautiful pup - wish we could have a buddy for our Louie - he'll have to be content to hang with cats for a while.
