My attitude has not been perfect since OYE completed it’s almost two week run. \u00a0I’m not done with OYE as I still have a trailer full of cattle equipment and like a lot of others, I have some kind of sinus issue that just won’t leave. \u00a0Throw that on top of this bad hoof and I’m not worth 2 squirts of owl crap. \u00a0But, I did manage to see every goat on the place on this fine evening.<\/p>\n
The OYE goat shows did not go quite as planned. \u00a0It was a very good doe show for us. \u00a0Katherine Cockreham won a class with a Law & Order doe kid. \u00a0Carli Word won two doe classes. \u00a0The heavy class winner was a Rumour Has It x Matter Of Facts product. \u00a0Bob & Jodi Seelke produced this doe out of a set of 3 high$ pfeiffer does that we partnered on a couple of years ago. \u00a0One dead doe, one doe that won’t breed and two hatched embryos out of the third one and then the GOOD one got crippled before weaning. \u00a0At least we got a good one out of the investment.<\/p>\n
The wether show was a violent ass beating for our crew. \u00a0I’ve got nothing. \u00a0Just battered and bruised. \u00a0For twelve years, there was a Kelln kid in the OYE goat sale, every year. \u00a0Duke made the OYE premium sale his first 8 years of showing. \u00a0Not a small feat. \u00a0We had a family goal to make it every year, but that goal will not be reached. \u00a0It happens. \u00a0Life will go on and the sun has already come up. \u00a0I’m actually not in a bad mood about it. \u00a0I’m just left wondering.<\/p>\n
Duke and several other successful show kids did not fare well at OYE. \u00a0I did not want to see how these kids would act when they got thumped, but I have liked the results. \u00a0Basically, I get to deal with really good kids.<\/p>\n
No, Duke did not take his heifer to OYE. \u00a0Too many irons in the fire and he put his emphasis on the goats. \u00a0In retrospect, he should have taken the heifer.<\/p>\n
There are quite a few smart asses in the barns at OYE. \u00a0Somebody took my scooter and wrapped it in pink vet wrap. \u00a0Another added a bicycle bell on the side. \u00a0Somebody else added a set of truck nuts to the back axle. \u00a0I found it appropriate that they were blue. \u00a0I don’t know who did what but I am sure that a Kester and a Schoovy were involved. \u00a0Mike Parrish stole my scooter, had somebody video the theft and then texted me the video of the larceny. \u00a0I have lots of friends.<\/p>\n
The toe is healing nicely. \u00a0The rest of the hoof is starting to heel. \u00a0I wiggled my big toe on Sunday night. \u00a0It hurt, but it moved. \u00a0Today, I can move it a bit more. \u00a0Progress. \u00a0No crutches but I still have this walking shoe deal on my left hoof. \u00a0I do not remember the exact first time that I heard of an overpaid athlete not being able to play because of turf toe. \u00a0But I do remember thinking unkind thoughts. \u00a0Something about a cat. \u00a0DUDE! \u00a0Not no more. \u00a0A bad toe, foot, ankle, hoof, whatever, it is a problem to get healed.<\/p>\n
I did hear something of a rumor that some well known goat breeders sold out to some other brand name goat breeder. \u00a0I don’t know. \u00a0Maybe not.<\/p>\n
Here’s to hopefully getting some rain, healthy people and animals and just chilling. \u00a0Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
