I've lived in WA 5 years and still haven't been to "Egg Days" in Winlock

I keep wanting to go but haven't gotten around to it. I did finally get to "Cheese Days" in Toledo last year, though... I haven't been to the Garlic Festival in Chehalis either, and want to go to that. Maybe this summer, I'll make a point of getting to all the local festivals

especially Egg Days!!!

I think Winlock used to be the largest commercial egg supplying town in the west or something along those lines. I can't remember exactly...

I will go with you !

Do you sell any of these guys as babies or teenagers? I would like to pick up another 4 or 6 next spring. Not sure why...I don't need any. I want girls though...no roos. Don't want to have to freezer camp.

anyone want to rescue a goat?
I'm at work in Kent and there is a loose mid size goat (looks young). You'd need to have a couple people or great food since it seems to be sacred. Looks like it might also be slightly injured maybe due to being chased.

PM me if you can come get her (i think?) she's a pretty white with brown patches and legs, floppy eared.

I'd hate to see it hit by a car on west vally hwy

Ah I get to sit down fo a moment... Until DH gets home, then its off to the barn. I was able to get the dishes all done, kitchen scrubbed top to bottom, floors swept and mopped, some laundry done, both fish tanks syphoned and cleaned, all of little monsters toys picked up. Plus I baked 5 dozen cookies, and some pumpkin bread. I packaged up half the cookies, both loafs of bread and sent them with my younger big brother's girl friend. She is in college up in Bellingham, so I sent her back to school with a munchies care package. lol

Now I am feeding little Chloe monster brussel sprouts. She is a fiend for them, and will throw the biggest tantrum if she isn't given some. lol Brussel, bananas, and avacado are her favorites. How did I wind up with a daughter who prefers vegies over sweets?

I'm glad for it though, makes feeding her healthy just that much easier.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragment! Sometimes I need that extra umff, and pick up on days like yesterday.

I made it back! It only took 8.5 hours of driving and that included a stop to pick up a new trio of Orloff in Black Diamond.

Ugg if only you were closer... I'de come pick her up, if for nothing else but to get her some place safer than the road... I hope someone comes to get her. OH! One tip for wrangling goats... If your able to get close enough, and are fast enough to grab a back leg, that is the easiest and quikest way I've found to catch a goat on the run. As long as you don't lift the leg to far up, the poor thing will not get injured.

Hehehe I wonder if my in-laws want to keep a goat in their condo for a couple days.

lol I highly doubt it.

I wish you were closer too! I hate being stuck inside and worried the goat is gonna get chased or hurt. also animal control might grab her and I don't know if they can even keep goats

or if they just put them down

I'd catch her on my lunch break if I had a place to keep her till I got off work... then well.... do they let goats on the metro bus?
