Stuff for Sale

Pork coming last week of August, and 2nd week of December. $3.00/# whole, $3.75#/half, both plus cut and wrap (local pickup only). Best pork in the universe, but I am exceptionally biased and base my claims only on the observations of my tongue :)

We also have goat kids for sale, some spotted crosses (Nubian/Boer) and % Boers as well. Most are $50/head. We also have a Red Boer buck (% Boer, "Commercial") who is big, beautiful and has frosted ears.

If any of this strikes your fancy, shoot us an e-mail (check dalanfarm.com for contact information).

Dave,

Wrapping up the Hog trip

Here is some random photogrpahy from the Hog pickup to ILL.

Jackalope madness in Wall, SD

Dinosaurs are always a nice excuse to lave the car.

Corn Palace 2010

New boys...one is 100% large black...one is not...can you tell?

Nattey: "Poppa, what's that Bear there for?"
Poppa: "Nevermind."

Temple Cemetery

So we went to the Temple Cemetery (temple ND). I think they must have moved it, as it's east of where i remembere it being. Either i forgot, or i never knew, that my Aunt Uni and Uncle Carl (Meyer) had a marker here. It being here caught me off guard. Long story short, once i saw the "I boweled a 200" coffee mug (Uni's I assume) I started sbbing. Still am. I never saw her nearly enough as an adult. My kids would have loved her and she would have loved them right back. I miss you Uni. A lot.

Stinky room

Ok the stinky room wasn't all bad and Minot has a STARBUCKS. Had a sower, fed the critters (human and non-human) and all is well. Next stop? Montanna!

North Dakota

Ahh...2 AM and a smokers hotel room ;p

Hogs are travelling well and afer the longest day of the trip, we're still getting along!

Hog trip 2010

So long old lady

One of our lady goats went to the big pasture in the Sky last night. She's been winding down for a couple of days now, and last night was all she could take. Surrounded by here kids (not quite weaned, but taking a bottle well) and my kids. Will miss old Frosty. She was a great goat, made great babies and was a favorite of several of my kids. We've explained and discussed the circle of life, but for some of my kids it's still pretty hard to see the cycle at this stage. It still touches me just how gentle a soul some of my children have.

I hope they can keep a soul that grieves easily as long as they live.
