Looking for someone who would be available to work in the office at the sale barn.  Computer experience needed- training on the program will be done.  Must be able to count money, make change and balance after the sale is over.  Must be available on most every 2nd and 4th Sat from usually 2 until sale is over.(could be 8PM or as late as about 11.)  Once in a while work from 9am till sale is over. Depends on who is available for the day. Contact Karen if you would be interested. For more details Email me or contact me at the lawnmower shop weekdays or at the barn on sale Sat before 2 PM.

Went to the Lincoln Co Fair the last weekend in Aug.  Boy what a nice set of goats and sheep. Sure glad I wasn’t the judge. Only had one thin goat and 1 thin sheep- the sheep sure needed more groceries.  Everything else was tops.  Great job kids. Good luck to all planning to go on to the Ok State Fair.

Another tidbit of information I ran into at the fair.  Not sure we are going to like it.  But come about April 2020 we will probably be using RFID tags on all sheep and goats.  They are expensive and will be time consuming to keep all the information.  Now we don’t know if like scrapie tags we will have keep reference to just the ones we tag like now or all animals that go thru the sale barn.  USDA is making the rules right now- heaven help us all.  Another program to help us and going to cost $$ to do.

Also remember in wet weather the parasites are more problems.  Stay on top of it.  Do not feed on the ground and rotate pastures if you can. Goats can look fine one day, be droopy the next, and dead the next if you don’t get them treated. Or they can gradually lose weight and have scours.  If they hang their head and tail check them out or if they are  coughing a lot.   Don’t let parasites rob you of profits. See issues pages

We are getting lots of new people every sale and we do appreciate everyone.  We thank you for spreading the word about our sale.  Thank you for marketing you animals with us and for buying  some of your replacement animals at our sale.

We get extra  Goat and Sheep magazine and Ranch and Rural Living magazines and you are welcome to pick up either one or both. They have some really good articles.  We lay these out on the tables and you can take one if you like.

 B’s restaurant and Econo Lodge are closed due to a fire.   If you want fine dining we suggest heading to Davenport 6 miles E on Rt 66 and dine at Dan’s BBQ, Tammy’s Route 66 or Scotty B’s.  We highly recommend all 3 of those restaurant.  Also we have Lincoln Motel in Chandler for lodging.
