Instead&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I love the fact that some showmen and breeders are willing to load their goats up and drive to get an opinion. &nbsp;Even though there is a chance that they won&#8217;t like the opinion. &nbsp;Had one here tonight. &nbsp;This cat had a prospect that he wasn&#8217;t sure to cut or show. &nbsp;I&#8217;m glad he brought him. &nbsp;It was an honor. The goat wasn&#8217;t perfect, but he needs his nuts left in him. I am SURE that this goat will probably make another mile or two for another opininion, but I offered cash to leave him. &nbsp;On the right genetics, this one will be fun to see what happens. &nbsp;If I had 100 does, then I would offer a pile of cash. &nbsp;Names like Pfeiffer, Mock, Helms, Gallagher, Hutto, Hummel, even a low rent bastard like myself could use a buck like this. &nbsp;Why? structural integrity, soundness, hip, true muscle and rib shape. &nbsp;Plus, a cleaner than most, but not all pedigree. &nbsp;What I really want to know is, what about the wethers bred like this one? &nbsp;Where are they? &nbsp;I bet they show up at some time. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;21 years. &nbsp;Yes, 21 years that I have been married. That is half of my life that I have now spent married. &nbsp;Good decision. &nbsp;Best decision of my life. &nbsp;Yes, Kela is 23. &nbsp;Do the math. &nbsp;If I would have gotten married at the time of &#8220;Oh, snap, are you serious?&#8221; &nbsp;I wouldn&#8217;t be married today. &nbsp;Sometimes, things need to mature. &nbsp;Myself included. &nbsp;Has it been easy? &nbsp;Nope. &nbsp;Nothing dealing with me is easy. &nbsp;Has it been worthwhile? &nbsp;Obviously the answer is yes or I would have done something different. &nbsp;And the fact that Tammy hasn&#8217;t kicked me to the curb means it was worthwhile on her end. &nbsp;The weird thing is that in the past year, we have discovered our best marital toy&#8211;a gator. &nbsp;We just get on it and go look at stuff, gather goats, check fence, pop a top, etc. &nbsp;We seem to enjoy it. &nbsp;We might have a kid or two and normally a Corgi on it. &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t want to buy a gator at the time, but looking back, it is pretty cheap device for marital bliss. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t have any good stories involving the gator, but I can tell you for a fact that the Kelln&#8217;s like cruising around together on it. Don&#8217;t tell anybody, but we might actually kind of like each other. &nbsp;21 more years. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t know about that. &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t think that I would make it this far.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Now back to the goats. &nbsp;I liked the band the Traveling Wilbury&#8217;s. &nbsp;Look them up. &nbsp;They are a bunch of no-name SOBs without any music industry credentials. &nbsp;In comparison, if it was a band of goat jocks, it would be Glen, Izzy, Bryan, Mikey, and Poe. &nbsp;I would be waiting in the wings with Big I, to see if they needed a harmonica or bagpipe player. &nbsp;If you haven&#8217;t heard of the Traveling Wilbury&#8217;s before, you will need a diaper when you see the actual talent that was in that band. &nbsp;Off the charts. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Don&#8217;t tell anybody, but life could be worse. &nbsp;Of course, if it was any better, people would call me BOB. &nbsp;Spell it forwards and backwards..it is the same. &nbsp;BOB. &nbsp;It would be a cheap tattoo on your butt. A &#8220;B&#8221; on both butt cheecks, bend over and it spells BOB. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Don&#8217;t tell anybody, but I still don&#8217;t like does; I still like good show animals; &nbsp;I love a good song. I love a smoking hot chick that I have been tied to for half of my life. &nbsp;Don&#8217;t tell her that I am the lucky one. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It is pretty common that somebody starts to tell a story around the Kelln Kompound and it goes like this&#8230;&#8221;Now don&#8217;t put this story in your blog.&#8221; &nbsp;Or, I hear, &#8220;Please don&#8217;t tell Kelln that we ran out of gas 10 miles north of OKC ( a city [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
