I hope everyone is safe and that everyone is spared damage to pens and deer from falling trees and such.
I got home about 1AM this morning from having drove from home here in north central WI to John Ervin Stoltfus's place in Narvon PA and back, to pickup a doe fawn I purchased from him.
It was quite the trip coming back with the line of storms we crossed near Cleveland OH and heavy rains most of the way across OH. Then strong winds across IN. Through IL wasn't so bad but then once we headed north through WI the winds seemed to just get worse again. Once we got up in this area tree branches and whole trees along with powerlines laid everywhere.
Thanks to John Ervin for selling me this doe fawn which Laurie has decided to call "Karat". Karat is a 2010 Gold Rush daughter out of a Flees' Reggie/Bucky doe.
I think this girl will be happy here at our place and we intend to expose her to Updraft. That should be a great cross I think.
John Ervin has a really nice place and it was great to see his layout. I always enjoy seeing other farms. If you live along my track and are wondering why I didn't call you for a visit, I wish I could have stopped. But the trip was almost 18 hours one way and it was a long enough trip as it was this time. Next time I make the trip out there I have several places I hope to hit along the way.
