We Have A Winner

 The youngest girl is so proud of her new belt buckle she won at the local FFA show last weekend. They handed them out to all the Grand Champion winners this week and this is her first prize she has won with the rabbits other than a ribbon.
She is afraid to wear it because she does not want to scratch it up. That's funny right there but I don't blame her.


The wife skipped making dinner last night to run and get a couple of goats she found at a decent deal. Even with a decent deal I cannot make much off them so I think I might keep them for a season or two and make the money on their babies.
The wife has already started on a list on what she wants to sell at next months "Day at the Mini Farm" sell.
As it is right now we do not have enough incubators for all the eggs we are wanting to hatch so we are using one of my Dads trays in his big one. His one tray will hold as many eggs as two of my little incubators put together.
I have entertain the thought of buying chicks again but the profit margin goes down so much when I do that. I don't know yet, I'm still thinking on it.

    Thank yall for the comments.
    WWRWH, yup and she plans on keeping it that way proudly displayed on her dresser.
    Izzy, I will post when the hatch is done. we now have the fans running in the incubators so I am hoping for a better turn out.
    glo, LOL I thought that was your blog you were promoting so I went on and thanked them for stopping by mine. I bet that will leave them scratching their heads. Good blog though and now I am a follower of it. Maybe I will get some from my mistake as well. Thanks for the link.

    Congrats to your Dd! The buckle is beautiful, is it a Montana Silversmiths buckle by chance? Their factory is only 40+ mile away for us.

    Goat babies sell better for FFA and 4-H projects here, or so I'm told. Dairy Nannies are selling for around $150 to as high as( papered)$225 and some are not even bred or fresh.

    It's a juggling game, costs verses profits. Good luck in your ventures "Day at Mini Farm" sounds great!


    PS. with all your animals and ventures I think the MT road trip may be down the road a ways *wink*
    Blessings,
    Kelle
