Today was the sheep and goat auction in Paris, Kentucky. It's the same one we go to every year. We had 21 lambs entered. They all sold as prime and choice feeders. The price was good this year.

When we got back I parked the stock trailer in the back of the shed. I washed out the inside first. They made a mess. I'm going to try to do something about the drainage around the shed. Drainage, the story of my life.
It fit in there pretty good. We're thinking about putting up gates so we can keep it in there permanently. We need to keep the critters away from it, they tend to be destructive. I still need to do something about those posts. I might make a rack for posts right there where they sit.
That last goat looks evil.
