The foundation is all formed out and the cement was poured today....It is really amazing how much work goes into setting the forms and getting it all ready to for the cement.

Very excited, we are going to look at GOATS tomorrow. They are kids and if we get some we will have to wait until early July until they are weened from their moms!

Foundation

The digging for the foundation has begun. We have been very lucky with the weather during the digging process, only had rain one night, was raining pretty heavy but it didn't fill that huge hole we have in the yard!!!
We hit a lot a ROCK, to say the least......




But the whole got dug!

BARN

SOOO Excited!!!!!  Our barn is being started...YES!!!! 3 weeks earlier then planned..Thank You Mother Nature!!!!
Well we drew the footprint of our barn today. The excavator/mason will be coming back tomorrow to start  digging  the foundation!
   The Barn will be 28'x30'. here is a picture of the footprint that Johnny, myself & George laid out today. It's hard to see the pink drawing on the ground in this picture, but if you look close enough it's there. It is 30' along the driveway.

28'back to the pile of crushed stone

Well the new Ranch Manager software program came in the mail today. Hopefully at some point over the weekend we will have time to load it to the computer and try to figure it all out.. Very excited. http://www.lionedge.com/index.htm

I had ordered a "Meat Goat Management Wheel " from University Of Missouri Extension's website, and that came to day too!!!!! :)

Actually I called them to order it because the link on their site for the wheel wasn't working.

Well hope you are enjoying your weekend! :)
