    Well there’s been some changes since last week. There’s new voices to add to the show, 6 actually! You can hear at least 4 during the show. The ending this week is a little abrupt. After the mixer’s batteries die the batteries on the mp3 recorded died. That brings the show to a rather abrupt end. We were going long anyways, so you must have been saved by the equipment. In the show:

    1. Welcome and, talk about what’s new and show 55b
    2. Farm Phone! 206-202-GOAT. Sorry India, you’ll be on next week
    3. Round up: Goose trouble, rabbits, etc
    4. Farm Section: Prep and delivery of kids and lambs
    5. Show ends due to power failure

    We love your comments and questions, please email them to gfl@geekfarmlife.com or call the Farm Phone at 206-202-GOAT.
