Hurricane Michael
Power was out for 46 hours after hurricane Michael came up from the Gulf Coast. Extremely heavy rains and wind took out power around here for 90% of all customers!
We managed okay but another day without power would have forced us to bring in water for all of the animals.
The camping gear came in VERY useful. This peculator makes excellent coffee.
We bought a generator to keep our freezers going. They are full of pork from our hogs.

AI’ing @ 66% Success!!!
September 2018 was the first time that we attempted to AI our goats ourselves. The last two years, we have had Capra-Gia (Mark Stevens) to AI them for us. We are THRILLED with our 66% success rate!!
Three mature does were AI’d and two of the three conceived. This 66% success rate is great for a first attempt. Tempo Kim and MLRT Victoria both conceived and will freshen on February 2, 2019. We induce parturition to ensure we are home during every delivery due to possible life-threatening complications that may arise.
