4H Projects

- Start date
Goats did well in the show ring tonight, which means we're out of the 4H business until next year. Kaydence will clear $4K towards college for the year. Not bad for a 7th grader! We're fortunate to have a great network that supports her in the show and sale rings. Next year, Kenna will be old enough for a project, so life will be even crazier. She bought a show shirt for next year tonight, and a show stick because there's no talking her out of getting a cow. Look for us to bring home some dairy feeder calves in January 
Feels good to shed some responsibility headed into fall!

Calfs and bacon seeds are hitting the ground. Looking forward to reviewing prospects in March with the oldest 2. Hoping Wyatt wants to jump on board this year.
Family walk thru of the herd this past Saturday to start assembling prospects at my buddies farm. Leaning towards 2 heifer twins born just before New Year's, one red and another more tan/yellow, up to the 2 boys to make the final decisions with 2 more farms to visit in next few weeks.
We were goat and calve shopping yesterday. Hard to believe it's that time again.
If you're looking for shorthorns my brother in law does pretty good with them.
I'm debating an upgrade for our meat chickens.

Something like that but larger and significantly cheaper. I have a 12x8ish one that I built out of scrap lumber. Its designed after the hog fence hoop ones but uses PVC and normal garden fencing. I then reinforced it with quarter inch hardware cloth 2 feet up all the way around. I has a door just tall enough for me to walk through on the one side and is partially covered. Its starting to show the age of being outdoors year round even though I used pressure treated lumber. Its so heavy that I can only pull it myself or with my mower or the side by side. My kids aren't able to independently. And when I pull it the bouncing over the ground stresses the wood and its starting to pull apart (even though I've reinforced the corners on the inside and outside).
The one I'm looking at any of my 3 kids could move with moderate effort. And its aluminum....
We are going to do more meat chickens next year. 1.) My oldest is in FFA and its an easy project for him to make some additional money on. 2.) We are going to sell the extra ones through facebook marketplace or if anyone on here wants some let me know and I"ll give you the approximate cost and they'll be ready by early October.
