hello everyone! the MAR/APR trip was completed in spite of running head on into a late spring Nebraska blizzard - for the first time ever I failed to deliver animals to their designated final destination - four rabbits had to be delivered to northeast CO rather than to the NE panhandle because it was simply impossible to travel the roads in NE
the trip was the shortest regularly scheduled trip I have ever done - this is a sign of the economic times - that means that for the foreseeable future my trips will only begin after I have sufficient confirmed reservations to cover my basic expenses - trips will be MAY/JUN/JUL and JUL/AUG/SEP dependent upon loading the antifreeze internal leak problem I had during the DEC/JAN trip was not solved by the intake manifold gasket replacement so the van/RV 454 engine is scheduled to be pulled within the next few days - depending upon the results of the internal investigation I will either repair and reinstall the current engine or I will install a new engine - either way there is lots of cost involved Tina and Jeremy II are rapidly becoming bosom buddies - Tina is getting over her 'jealousy' attacks - Jeremy is a 'gutsy' little guy who stands up to Tina even though she is four times his size - they run each other until both fall over in comatose exhausted sleep - I built a ramp up onto the bed so that Jeremy can join Tina and Tiger the cat when I am sleeping - that does not leave much room for me but everybody is happy! the economy may be slow but there is simply no better time than now to buy new breeding stock if you can afford it - at a recent boer goat production sale absolute top quality animals were selling for 1/3 of what they would have sold for two years ago - new breeding stock is your investment in the future genetics of your herd! - start negotiating with the breeders of your choice - you may be surprised at the deals you can get! I always need pick up city/state, drop off city/state, and a brief description of the animals in every email please I do not monitor the groups closely so please reply directly to my private email address at rkee...@realtime.net payment is due on delivery - I can take cash, check, MO, and PayPal there is no contract other than your word via email -- questions?
