On the Home Front

Man, the whole week is turning out to be as busy as last weekend! I spent the better part of yesterday cleaning out the meat chicken coop, in final preparation for taking them over to Central Illinois for processing tomorrow. Our chickens will be done this time in a USDA facility (or 'establishment', as they prefer to call them) and hence we can ship them interstate. That should help business considerably: I'll be sure to post sales details (or a pointer to them) here when we're ready to rock.

I also mucked out the machine shed, and took Blitzen (one of our Boer goats) to the vet. Skin problems seem to be endemic with him: Donnor (his twin brother) has had nary an infection, but this little guy seemingly gets them all the time.

The beef we had done over in Terre Haute is ready as well, and I'll be picking that up on my way back from the chickens. It's USDA inspected this time, too.

Tomorrow night, we take the grandkids to the country fair. That oughta be fun! But don't expect much profundity posted here tomorrow, I'll be on the road or on the Tilt-a-Whirl.
