I will have to watch for them this year. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-37027509290556577182012-09-01T23:10:54.217-04:002012-09-01T23:10:54.217-04:00Oink!

Maybe after the goat, I can talk him into one! He actually wants to get a goat now! Yay! Sorry you're battling the sinus junk! Hope you feel better in the morning! Got to get photos of the butchering for us! Take care!

For some reason the farms here still breed for spring births which means we butcher in the heat. I guess they don't think it is necessary to wait since most people take theirs off to be butchered instead of doing it in their back yard. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-72364574117113835772012-09-01T18:14:26.569-04:002012-09-01T18:14:26.569-04:00It's a shame you couldn't have cooler weat...It's a shame you couldn't have cooler weather for butchering.

I don't have these things at work though and when I get there it starts with the sneezing, running etc. I would love to have it get better for good but after so many years now, I just don't believe it is possible. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-43614748435764908252012-09-01T17:18:11.359-04:002012-09-01T17:18:11.359-04:00I don`t know where you find the time for all this....I don`t know where you find the time for all this.
