Hello fellow leaders!
I was unable to attend the last conference call but was wondering how everyone was doing with the conditions of our economy. Our little feed store "County Line Feed & Fertilizer" is hanging in there and I am now up to 20 goats and have with some good luck (12 nannies bred to a full south african boer that I leased). Some are already beginning to "show" signs of preparing for kidding and only two are questionable or not bred. Those of course will get to be sold soon.

I am also quite busy with my other hat in extension. Some of you as well as local producers have had questions about alternative sources for fertilizer and have asked about Monty's Liquid Fertilizer. I have had a few producers to try it - but do not expect miracles at first. This is a long program that you should follow to the letter but could end up saving you on your fertilizer costs.

Hope to see everyone soon.
