Rumour Has It that there was a goat show in Woodward, OK on this fine Sunday.  The Woodward District Goat Show is now in the books.  And it was one for the books.  The Woodward District Stock show first held a goat show in 2005.  Kela had the grand wether that year.  It was a nice show, but the quality, like all Okie shows in 2005 wasn’t very deep.  Now, in 2015, this

     It was Friday, all day, today.  It didn’t seem like a Friday, but it was.  I spent a lovely wintery day in Woodward at the new Fairgrounds.  It isn’t done, but this is going to be one of the nicest fairgrounds in the state of OK when it is completed.         Our hogs are stalled on the same alley with Waynoka.  Which means that I got to see one of

     Been getting a lot of county reports from various parts of the world.  I do enjoy hearing of happy customer success.  I really liked the Dewey County results.  Grand & Reserve Grand wethers sired by Rumour Has It.  Reserve Grand doe also sired by Rumour Has it.  And the Grand Champion doe was sired by none other than Blood Pressure.  Congrats and good luck on down the road.      Took a crew

Things that I really like. I like getting the mail and there are checks for me, in the mail.  Check for the recips at the Perry sale barn.  YES!!  Patronage checks.  Like free money.  Checks for goat semen.  Makes me want to sell some more.  With all of the modern emails, wire transfers, texts, etc.  It is hard to replace that feeling of getting something in the mail, like a check, that you can put

      I have had numerous calls for the past month about doctoring kids with the runs.  I have had some cases here in paradise.  Every stool sample comes back as coccidi, but for some reason or another, normal medications haven’t responded as well.  Lately, I have doctored babies with the usual spectam.  If that doesn’t dry them up, I come back with a SMZ tablet with Albon liguid.  And if that doesn’t work,

      Why is it hard to find good ag teachers?  I can answer this.  It’s because nobody wants to deal with the low rent showers during local & county stock shows.  The serious showers take care of business and don’t sweat the locals and counties.  But the low rents get all worked up and have to get serious in a hurry.  I mean, hell, they haven’t washed or walked pigs all year, but

      It has been a Thursday, all day long.  Not all bad though.  I don’t know if my internet connection is working really good, or if some videos just BOUNCE better than others.  Bouncy, squishy, happy.  Either way, it makes for a good evening.        I had to order more stuff for the greenhouse.  I really don’t have a clue what I am doing with this project, but I have good

     Some days just start earlier than others and not as well.  Today was one of those.  I did chores, checked babies and had to doctor a mature doe.  I then walked through the whether barn to do my morning check for snotty noses or worse.  Today was one of the worse.  One of Duke’s weathers had shat all over his hut, his blankets and his legs.  Duke got to wash a goat before

     I had to make a quick dash to Stillwater today.  So, I deciced to multi-task and take a load of does to get dropped off at Perry.  As I was driving east, my thoughts were mostly of what I need to do for the school and kids to get ready for the next month of shows.  I kept the sticky notes close by as the list is growing.  I stopped at the Cowboy

     I was in dire need of a haircut.  Any longer, and I was just going to let it grow and then I could startup a Crue, KISS, GnR, AC/DC tribute band and I wouldn’t need a wig to wear. No worries as Duke and I both got scalped.  I don’t care how it looks as it feels good.  My hats now fit right.  Too much hair can just feel lethal.  Although it is
