Took the time to go to a local farm auction today.I was thrilled to find a surge milker and a pasteurizer. I'm trying to build my own milking machine.It's kind of a quest at this point.If anyone knows anything about doing this I'm always willing to listen.
Found some chicken nest boxes also. There were 3 of them, only one of them was decent. Everything at the auction went high so I decided it was time to stop freezing my feet off and call it a day.
Decided today was the day to clean out the barn. Put all of the girls out in the barn lot, got out the tractor and got busy. Hadn't realized I'd let it go too long. It definitely was a job for the handy dandy tractor.
I let Murphy run around like a nut. He loves being the only boy on the place. He rules the roost. I hadn't really planned on keeping a buck. I'm so glad Andrea talked me into it. He's been a joy. Hopefully I'll have one of his babies on the ground this year.
Tonight was "girls night out". We've got a very nice Wine Shop in the area. Tim and Art Bohlen are always willing to let the locals use the hall for events. We had a Mary Kay party. I brought some home made crackers and goat cheese. It's always a hit and I'm proud to share what I'm learning in my new life. It's always fun to meet your neighbors. I was wiped from a long day so I didn't last too long.
