The Boys are Back in Town!

Just when we were starting to worry that the big boys would not appear this year.....shazam 2 dandy bucks appeared tonight. Attached are a couple of pics of August bucks on our farm. I realize that they are pretty shoddy pics but I will try to sneak out and get some better ones on another day. Be sure to Check out the September issue of "Buckmasters" as I have an article in it. I will try to put a post up later with a pic of the Magazine.

Fried Chicken!

Just Kidding..... but, the chicken house at the Bartig ranch did burn to the ground on the evening of July 22nd. All of the chickens were moved prior to the fire and are doing fine in the new "Hen Shack". We spent all day Sunday tearing down the Kirksville landmark and then torched it.

Thank You NEMO Fair Board

July 19th, The NEMO Fair Board bought the show premiums on Laura's Wether lamb for $325.00. Laura and her family are very appreciative to the board for their kind gesture.

As always there seems to always be additional drama. When we arrived at the fairgrounds we learned that Tiger's little yellow kitten had hitched a ride on the engine. Aside from being a little greasy..... he survived. Dr. Moore gave him a clean bill of health and he was passed around the show barn by the kids. Tiger was happy to see him come back home.
