Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

She reminds me of a certain mare I had. First time mom so I slept in the barn to monitor her starting a week BEFORE her due date. It was a cold and rainy spring that year. :/ The heifer carried HER baby a MONTH overdue (3 days short of a 12 month pregnancy!) and then had the gall to give birth on a warm sunny afternoon in the pasture. All went perfect, but the baby was HUGE!

Have you threatened to sell her on craigslist?

there's no craigslist option here, friend. there's only The Pot
;-)

still nothing.

the neighbor thinks its going to be today ...and since The Big Man is going to be gone all day... well thats just par for the course.

sigh.

Fattie - if you are reading this go and look at the pics of the goat WITH the babies... thats what a WINNER looks like.

on the upside everyone is up and all the waterfowl are down on the pond!


K- she was with the buck for about 3 weeks and i know that he was giving her the ol' twenty-three-skiddoo the entire time. especially this last week
;-)

well....I'm still waiting too....you could always go to Indy and get those 3 rescue Lamanchas....maybe they would do better!

Oooooo, I know, get MP over there in his Richard Simmons outfit and she'llpop the babies out from laughing so hard!!!

Don't forget the cancel her planned Goat Convention trip. Send someone else in her place. She no longer should be allowed to use the company credit card, and no more expense reports either. Its called a 10 day performance improvement plan, else she's outa there for not complying.

Options: Fire her a** after the 10 days. Demote her to the male room (pun intended). Transfer her to Greenland to head up the herd department. Pawn her off to the R&D dept so they deal with her lack of devotion to the company mantra.

I'm sure HR will support you in whatever decision you make.

all great ideas, murphsyranch!

i'll get right on these actions items. but first i'll form a committee to do a deep dive to get all of the ramifications, a cost justification, plot out the over-arching goals, and of course get legal involved just to slow things to a stand still.

afterwards we'll all stand around a mock her failure under the sign in the lunchroom that says "no bad ideas people!"

great work!

hee hee hee spoken like a true ex-corporate monkey! whoot!
;-)

ps arent you glad you never EVER have to sit thru another meeting just like that again??? or hear the word "synergy" hee hee hee golly maybe i'll start workign that into the farm lingo - hey turkeys! way to demonstrate great synergy with the hens! nah.. they wouldnt get it. wait.. i'm gonna go and gobble at them.... i love that

And maybe you could teach them how to play rooster soccer just to get rid of any doubts about your competency! And then threaten them with OD
