One week from now, we will be eating shrimp, crawdads and the rest of some crazy cajun cooking.  More importantly, the favorite daughter will be home.  Can’t wait.  The favorite son wants to prove that he is now the tallest sibling–not much of a contest at this point.  

     It has been a good weekend.  The garden is still producing, which means that Tammy is still cooking and Duke and I are eating.  Our piece of paradise is getting pretty dry so the sprinklers are going.  

      Labor day brings about the Best of the West sale.  This sale has routinely produced good goats.  This set looks to be equal or better to those in the past.  The brisket lunch will be worth the drive.  The goats will be even better.  Call any of the consignors and talk to them about their offering.  

     And speaking of consignors, Rick Barnthouse is bringing a set of Blood Pressure goats.  Congrats to Rick on raising the res. grand wether at the Colorado State Fair, sired by Blood Pressure.  Rick has had a really good state fair run this season with kids sired by Blood Pressure.  Cheers!
