Kind of! Wednesday was a pretty busy day. Duke and I had extremely good help here getting goats washed, sheared and photoed. Then others showed up to look at goats. Then it was time to get chores done. Tammy and I were on the gator when the
I’ve got me a new herd manager. He’s in charge of keeping water tanks full, doctoring goats, sorting goats and helping me. Basically, Duke now has a paid position. Tammy says that I’m a tight ass, but Duke and I negotiated this deal together. And for the past
Had a big weekend trip to Texas. We left early Friday morning with several does on the trailer. Our first stop was at Earl Peacock’s. Dropped the does off at his place for future flushes. Looked at several good doe kids at his place. We were all amazed

I apologize to all of you that are needing a fix of info from this little blog. I’ve been a tick busy. It has been hard to keep up with a blog or checking the chive for the past week. This self-employment deal requires some time. It also
