Farm Stuff

We borrowed a boer buck from a friend to breed our does with. We have Alpines and have always had Alpine bucks but this time we are using the boer buck and will sell the offspring for meat. We had to take the pygmy goat, Enna, otherwise known as "the tank", out of the goat pasture so she didn't get bred. The baby would be too big for her to have. I would really like to breed her with an Angora. I used to have a pygora and she was so pretty! And the children would LOVE the tiny baby goats!
The grandchildren are loving riding Ruby. She is such a sweet horse and so easy to ride.
We'll be butchering turkeys for the holidays this weekend. I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving even though I can't believe it's that time already. It's such a wonderful holiday and it's so good to think about everything we have to be thankful for. The down side is that our youngest son and his family won't be here for dinner this year because he can't get off from work. That makes us very sad but we hope they have a wonderful time together.
Are you cherishing those loved ones and each moment?
