Hay! It's What's For Dinner.

Earlier this week, I picked up a load of hay, stacked on a 24 foot trailer. Today was the day we unloaded that hay. It didn't take as long as I feared it would, and I had the trailer back to it's owner before 2pm. My chickens, dog, and loose goat seem to think the hay stack is a great place to play.

Fortunately, the chickens won't be a problem much longer. Tomorrow is the great chicken processing, during which, we will process each and everyone of those darned chickens.

The other job for today is to take care of Ram. He's being a butt. He's done his duty by the girls, so now it's time for him to do his duty by the family, and provide us with meat for the next month or so.

While we are building up our breeding stock, we tend to get to eat whatever we kill for a while. Starting next year, however, we should be able to put enough different meats in the freezer that we will have a choice of meats to sup on.
