The Animals Have Arrived

Things are getting more and more settled on the farm. We added a few animals to it this week. We bought three nanny goats and one billy goat. They can help keep the weed control in check. We also purchased three Indian runner ducks for the pond. Two females and a male to make babies and keep any insect problems under control. The wife also wanted two Bantam roosters because they were cute. I also picked up two baby rabbits for the daughter and grandson. The animals are happy at their new home. And the wife and daughter are even helping with their care, not bad for city girls.

I was talking with the auctioneer at the animal sale. He told me how the animal sale prices were bottoming out. He said the only animals that are selling well are laying hens, milk cows and milk goats. Animals that can help feed a family. Just another bit of information on how the economy is doing.
