Georgia Evacuation Spot - Hurricane Milton

We have 3 acres with electrified high tensile 6 strand wire that is available for someone coming up from Florida on evacuation. We are less than 10 minutes off of I-95 around exit 82. Pretty good stand of Bahia on it but safe. Plenty of space to park a trailer.

Message me if you need the spot. We are happy to help. -Stacy & Jeff

Big commercial dairies already do this but I changed to single-use microfiber towels in the last year from single-use paper towels. It’s significantly cheaper and I believe far better for the udders, environment, and my costs.

I included my rough cost analysis in the photos. Maybe this will make it more economical for someone else. If you buy microfiber towels there is a difference. This link goes to a bound edge https://amzn.to/3ZUibgb and they don’t stick to each other. The one with the 🚫 sign is a serged edge and they are like Velcro and generally a menace!!!

I think at roughly 6 months I more than paid for my towels. I don’t dry them and I stack instead of fold so the laundry is pretty minimal. I wash with hot water and bleach to sanitize between uses.

This is a pretty neat buck that our friend Brent has available. His full genetic brother was 91EEE this year.

As your Authorized Distributor for Hardwicke Farms stock, I am pleased to share the following link to Fall 2024 offerings as mentioned in prior posts.

I *may* get back with folks today but honestly I'm pretty emotionally spent from digging up photos and listing girls that I would have cried with joy to have when I started.

Please grant me some grace as I navigate the pain of making this herd the best it can be. --Stacy

I am going to be making some listings tomorrow for both Milkers and dry yearlings. Nothing wrong with any of these does but I cannot milk everything that needs to be freshened and I prefer to not milk through so Jeff and I can take off for a vacation a few weeks in January each year.

Details will come tomorrow and photos if I’m as energetic in person as I am in my mind. I, as always, will make better (great) deals to good homes that take multiple does.

They are used to excellent shelter, full hay bunkers, and gentle handling. You should be prepared to offer the same or better to be considered.

Let’s be real, the real stars of the National Show are the folks that stay behind and maintain the at home herds. The unsung heros that make it so the rest of us can sleep soundly knowing that our farms and animals are being watched as carefully as we would do ourselves. This is Myra she’s a wonderful daughter and great farm overseer. Thanks Myra and we love you!

Just over 100 miles to home. We open the windows fully at stops and some of the does take full advantage to sightsee. We may get some mesh covers for the windows so they get even more airflow than the slide windows allow for the next trip. We won’t let them ride with windows down and legs and heads out—they are goats after all and find themselves in the most ridiculous predicaments.

Had a great week at ADGA Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. Brought some does I love and bought some does I love. Had a great time with friends and my good looking 70’s night date.
