Hubby doesn't allow cows, says their poop is too messy. And I don't want goats from auction, too many diseases they can carry that get into the soil. Just checking to see how much critters bring at auction these days.You'll have to let us know if you come home with more animalsA couple of goats, a cow, whatever
hope its a good one and you like it, is it close by or do you have to drive a ways
It's a bit of a drive, but we are going to make a day of it, my friend and I.
husband and i go early in the morning to get our seats and stay til they break for lunch before they start the big animals, sometimes that 1--2 in the afternoon, then we leave and have lunch(dinner ) on the way home. thats our date day i usually enjoy it unless some of the old farmers bring in junk, stuff i would throw into the garbage
Well at least you are not tempted to buy their junk! I hate how they handle some of the animals at times. I hope this place is better than the one I used to go to in TN.
all the guys know me, i've been known to have a heart to heart with them about the way they treat the animals
Yeah, I have had discussions with more than one guy at the auction handling animals roughly.
Good morning Cappy, have a great day and enjoy the auction
The animal chat reminds me of my stop at TSC yesterday. I heard cheeping and went over to see a tank full of ducklings. An employee was standing directly opposite the tank and when I pointed out the ducklings didn't have any water, she just shrugged and said, yeah I know they drink it up too fast.
One more example why I never buy animals at farm stores. Way too much ignorance to deal with!
I try to float through public places as invisible as possible, but I would have been absolutely obnoxious about demanding she fill that up again. I'm not kidding about this. I would have stood there all day & talked to every employee in the store if I had to. I save up my bossiness for when its really important, then look out.
