At the conclusion of the Livestock Auction and Sale Saturday there were 15 goats and 4 lambs that were to be 'bought back' or in other words, sold to a person who will essentially send them in the way of a slaughter house sooner rather than later. I know...kinda sad. Anyhow, these animals had to be delivered to Oklahoma on Sunday and J and I got to make the delivery. So Saturday night these lucky 19 animals spent the night in our driveway, in the trailer obviously, awaiting the trip to Oklahoma. They were actually pretty quiet through the night. Some folks told us that they would probably cry all night, but I didn't hear much of that. We felt kinda bad because the trailer was pretty yucky after several hours of confinement in a small space, but we really had no option until we were able to unload. We left Sunday after Sunday School and headed to the farm of a nice man named Tamen in Colbert, OK with the animals in tow. It was a fun weekend. The livestock end of the fair is always a lot of work but always fun and I enjoy helping J and helping the kids out.

We made it! Goats thinking about making
the leap into their new home...for a while anyway
Happy goats to be out of the trailer!!
Have a wonderful week.
