I sold a goat!

I'm very happy -- I sold my Nubian buck this morning! This means I am really a business, capable of making money for my feed! Maybe one day I will be able to retire on the earnings from my farm! (Just kidding - ha- get it, "kidding")!

He was sad to go, and yes, I was sad to see my bottle-fed baby, go, but that's business.

New Web Site

My farm now has an official web site for the sale of the goats and the information of my farm. The link is: http://sites.google.com/site/countrylifedairyfarm/home . Check it out.

Yards and Yards of Yard Sales

I finished the goats' corral. I just basically nailed up temporary walls on our unfinished "new" barn and closed in an area for them to graze. No mud -- lots of grass and grazing stuff! They have loved it. Next, I'll be enclosing an area behind the new barn for them to graze in, too.

We went to Eureka Springs, AR this past weekend, and wouldn't you know! It was their "Yards and Yards of Yard Sales"! Fun, fun, fun! I found a 1962 Barbie Dream House, the blue one, the first one ever out, and the one that we had as little girls! With ALL the cardboard furniture! Can you believe it? Pictures are to come!

We are going to Birmingham this weekend to see Gary's kids. Can't wait to see Sarah, as she is expecting next month.

I'm building a new corral for my goats. The mud and muck are just too bad now. I started today, but it quickly got too hot and I had to come in. I can work on it a little at a time this week and hopefully it will be done in a few days. Gary can't do much except tell me to be careful, since he had his gall bladder surgery.
