Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Good evening! WOW--did I have the posts to read...DrH--ya cracked me up with your last comment to FT! (Only guys think like that!) I am sure that wasnt what she was doing (or not doing) THanks for the beeps on your way past...but ya shoulda called me if you stopped in LM anyhow! I could have brought you some more rooster eggs!
Good smells coming out of the kitchen...it's Corned beef night...it got so late last might after working outside and I didnt want tgo to the grocery store...should have--it went to THREE today before I found the beef! When I called the Pig the stupid woman there told me that they had it so I went out there (Sentry in town was out) I got there and asked the butcher to point me in the direction of it and; Yup you guessed it, they were OUT! So I made the crappy clerk look up the number for Walmart for me. THey didnt have any in the shelf but he assured me that the computer said there was 30 in the freezer. So I went there...he already had them out on the shelf---they werent frozen though....weird. Anyway--I was glad that I went to the Pig cause they had turnips and parsnips too add...and their cabbage was 10 cents a pound cheaper! No one had any fresh beets though...I guess I will take a look in my freezer...I am sure I have some left from the garden last year. All that typing just to say we are having CB&C!

So yesterday I ended up going on a 3 hour horseback ride and then DH and I walked the 2 miles to the bar! He had CB&C (even though we are having it tonight--he says he could eat it every day!) So DD26 was there with some of her friends...we gt home around 11 and I had to get up at 4:45 t make it to the swap! My neighbor (the guy with the bunnies) drove. He bought some pigeons and some Peking ducks. I bought 2 dishes! Yes I held out! There were a mess of PB pigs there FT! All boars. I was tempted....MLH must have found her rabbits cause there sure were a bunch for sale. I didnt see her though... I saw a few really nice barred rock roos that I would have liked...guess I just wasnt in the buying mood! Really weird for me for sure...

I heard today that the quail I gave to the sunday school to hatch produced NOTHING! The girl said the eggs were rocking the other day and one pipped; but none made it out. She thought I would be mad that she killed them! I told her that she is welcome to try again...there are always more eggs.
Well I suppose I better fo and check my veggies and get the beets from the freezer...I cant wait to eat dinner! One of my favorite meals for sure!
Have a great night! Terri O

Awesome. Your chickens are gonna love it.
 
Busy here too.... Sorry to hear that Matt Flynn was traded to the Seahawks....I think Miami made a big mistake not buying him?

Back later....chicken and pork loins on the grill..need attention.

Wow Has it been beautiful out lately! Been busy working on the new coop. Chickies are now 5 weeks old and needing the new coop soon.

I am thinking of leaving the heat light off tonight it is suppose to be in the 60's. Not sure if i should though. what do you think? mommies worried.
They most likely will be just fine with a window cracked a little.

BTW... I was going to tell you my 20th reuion is this summer too. I am helping plan it, so I have to go. And since I haven't been to one yet... Needless to say that is a huge motivation! Still haven't started running... Lazy @ss! I better sign up for a 5k in May to motivate me further!
 
Cindi) I am trying to keep popping in here! Things are so busy tho!

Hey, hey HEY!!!

You people talking about Lav Orps. I want in. If you are buying chicks from someone, lemme know. I want some females. I can't really have roos, but if straight run is all you can get go ahead. Males can meet the chopping block.

I think I may just end up doing a special order through the TSC for all my other chickens, as all I want them for is laying pretty eggs, not for breeding. Guess it doesn't matter. Prolly the better bet, huh guys? I want a flock of maybe 20-30. Eggs for us, maybe a few to sell and then feed extras to pigs.

Speaking of pigs, anyone know of a guy who does feeder pigs? I'm looking in the Sheboygan-ish area, but will travel. Looking for two weaners for next year. Trying to get contacts now.
 
Ah what the heck !!! Give him 7-10 !!! he might work a bit harder next week end then !!!

Thought he was going to be done with it already. After all, it's just 4 walls and a flat roof, right?

And since when do you get to decide how long the session is?

Raiq, I got mine from here. She has either chicks or hatching eggs, but she will not ship them. You have to go get them.
